Description
Invest in the success of your organization by equipping your leadership team with the skills to foster inclusion through EDI learning opportunities!
Join us on Wednesday, December 13, as we host Matteo Stewart, an accomplished TEDxTalk speaker and IDEA facilitator with CCDI Consulting, for a dynamic discussion focused on leveraging your Inclusive Leadership competencies and skills.
This session is designed to help learners develop the skills and knowledge necessary to advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in their organizations and communities. Learners will discuss the continuum of inclusive leadership and collaborate to identify conscious steps that leaders can take to shift from being passive to an advocate for workplace inclusivity.
Through interactive exercises, case studies, and group discussions, students will examine the barriers to equity and inclusion and explore strategies for advocacy and allyship. The course will also inform and engage learners in discussing effective communication techniques and change management practices that are inclusive and people-centric. Learners will then have the opportunity in groups to discuss how to apply what they learned in various case study scenarios related to topics such as recruitment, promotions, team meetings, providing feedback, and introducing new processes.
