SESSION 1: DIVERSITY VERSUS INCLUSION – 2 hours

01 WHY INCLUSION?

Why more diversity does not automatically result into more inclusive workplaces
Why the traditional approaches we use to raise inclusion (e.g., small initiatives, task force focused on the topic, more representation) may not lead, on their own, to truly inclusive workplaces
Growing awareness that inclusion is a learned behavior and an urgent, achievable goal
How to move from tolerating differences to cherishing them

02 KEY WAYS TO LEVERAGE DIVERSITY

Why more diverse teams and workplaces perform at higher levels only when they are psychologically safe
How leaders can create psychological safety in any environment
Why inclusion is easy to talk about but it is hard to create consistently
Exploring the link between inclusion and trust
How unconscious bias and the resulting behaviors (e.g., discrimination) make workplaces less inclusive

SESSION 2: LEADING DIFFERENCE – 2 hours

03 MANAGING CONFLICT EFFECTIVELY

Accepting that more diversity means more disagreement
Why conflicts are not as bad as we believe they are – but they are uncomfortable – especially when our beliefs and convictions are further apart
Using language in a way that helps us turn disagreement into productive conversations
Differente communication options that are appropriate for different moments

04 EMBEDDING INCLUSION IN TODAY’S WORKFORCE

Exploring the opportunities for inclusion that happen in every interaction
Using validation rather than negation to make people feel cherished for their differences in every interaction
Achieving inclusion together, through the sum of small actions by all
