Why BB4I Online Learning Works

Lead confidently beyond the binary. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Training for HR Leaders, people teams and executives building welcoming and inclusive places of belonging.

BB4I: Beyond Barriers 4 Inclusion is Simply Good Form’s online, asynchronous learning series that gives your team the practical skills to create safer, more welcoming spaces for transgender, nonbinary, Two-Spirit, and gender-diverse people.

Quotes from verified participants:

“Case studies were great and lived experience pieces also helped me to understand perspectives better.”

“The videos were fantastic!”

“I like that the course is primarily about gender identity, as I think cisgender members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community often forget that their experience as a marginalized person is different than that of trans and gender non conforming people.”

100% say, “I would recommend BB4I Series!”

What’s Included in the BB4I Series

Course 1: Transgender Inclusion at Work – Foundations

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Training. Build a clear, shared foundation for inclusive practice.

Terminology and Definitions of DEI and belonging
Understand key concepts: gender identity, gender expression, sex, sexuality, and why they matter in real situations.
Learn how gender‑identity‑based barriers show up in workplaces, programs, and crisis moments.
Explore practical language and terminology that supports respectful, trauma‑aware communication.
Watch short, scenario‑based videos (including our “Foundations: Gender Identity and Terminology” module) and apply concepts through guided reflection and activities.

Practice simple, safe ways to ask about and use names and pronouns—even in fast‑paced or high‑stress settings.

Build confidence to navigate mistakes, repair quickly, and keep relationships intact.

Diversity is something you ask for. Inclusion is something you offer. As a business owner, when you hire diversely, you’re just asking people to show up. Inclusion, on the other hand, is making a space that is truly welcoming, so people show up without being asked.”
