Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging

Equity and inclusion work involves integrating deep personal development with policies and processes that support all people thriving in the workplace.

The benefit is real. Research continues to show how diverse teams do better in all aspects of business. No matter what industry, from education to large corporations, successful diversity with gender, race, age, ethnicity, sexual oreintation, and cultural backgrouds are more creative, more innovative, more effective in finding solutions to problems, and more successful financially.

The move from awareness to action must include an intentional focus on shifting mindsets and behaviors along with a willingness to hold people accountable…speaking up and speaking out to advocate for equity and belonging.

What is the work of diversity, equity, and inclusion? What skills do we need to effectively create workplaces where belonging is a core part of the culture?

Acknowledge, awareness, and understanding of our own biases
Ability to lean into discomfort and a willingness to own mistakes
Tools to have open and honest conversations about difficult topics.

Courageous Conversations

To come together we must be able to talk to each other. Healing the divide and reconciling our trauma requires leaning into vulnerable conversations. These conversations are hard. Lorri and her team will facilitate open dialogue on the topics and help you engage in civil discourse. Making the space for different ideas and beliefs, you will connect in a brave dialogue space and build capacity to engage across difference.
