​​What Can You Personally Do To Be an Inclusive Leader?

Few would disagree that inclusion is the right thing to do and good for business. So why are we so terrible at it? If we believe in the "why" of being diverse, inclusive, and equitable leaders, then why are we still struggling to put it into action? Because true change requires inclusion on purpose, which takes more than just knowing inclusion is right, it commands personal intention and awareness when creating inclusive workplaces. In this research-backed webinar, inclusion strategist and author Ruchika Tulshyan will set the stage for why we must take an intersectional, purposeful approach to create an inclusive workplace. You will learn:

  • The BRIDGE framework to tie your good intentions to good impact
  • How to use "diversity," "inclusion," "equity," and "intersectionality" correctly
  • Why we need to talk about our privilege
  • Personal actions to create long-lasting, meaningful change
