What is Diversity?
All the ways that we
are similar and different

But Diversity is Not Enough
“Simply having diversity is interesting; leveraging it is powerful”
(Gordon Nixon, former CEO of Royal Bank of Canada)
“Inclusive leadership is good leadership nowadays”
(Jim Turley, former CEO of Ernst and Young,
at a Southwest Airlines diversity conference in 2013)

What is Inclusion?To create an environment where a truly diverse group of people can:
1. Be who they really are while respecting each other
2. Speak freely, be heard and truly listen to others
3. Contribute fully to the success of their team and their organization
4. And be valued and rewarded for this contribution in the way they want to be

Individual BarriersIn your experience, leaders are NOT inclusive because:
1. They don’t see any value in inclusivity. They prefer to rely on tried and trusted “go to” people.
2. They are rather skeptical and need more proof that it is really worth the effort to change the way they do things.
3. They are interested and open to being more inclusive but they don’t know how to do it on an every day basis.
4. They believe wholeheartedly in inclusivity but they just don’t have the time to focus on it and implement it.

What Are “Everyday Actions”?
“There's nothin’ new under the sun.It's never what you do, but how it's done.”
(Nas)
“This is not rocket science. It's about relationships and communication and strangers coming together to see if they can get along harmoniously, productively, and creatively. That's a challenge. When it works, it's fantastic and will lift you up.” (Julia Roberts)
