Presentation Description / Summary: Over the past few years, diversity has been a hot topic - in both positive and negative ways. At its core, diversity is about recognizing, respecting and valuing difference in people, which in turns helps to create an inclusive environment where all team members can participate and solve problems more effectively. Most of us want others to feel welcome and that can be hard to do. This sessions focuses on building awareness of the small things we can do (and avoid) to create and sustain inclusive teams through how we listen, learn and lead. The speaker holds a PhD in psychology, has led diversity initiatives at large organizations, and is a frequent contributor on these topics.
