Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) efforts can bring unique perspectives and experiences to the table inspiring greater creativity and innovation within teams.
We also know that DE&I is an uncomfortable topic to discuss, but the first steps are the hardest. As a TD professional:
What can you do to help everyone in your organization be involved in the conversation around inclusion?
How can you use DE&I to benefit: your organization/leaders? your learners/talent? yourself?
In this session, we will explore & discuss:

What does culture have to do with it?
How do you get comfortable with discomfort?
These are general objectives. The session will be tailored to your survey responses, please take the survey no later than Wednesday, November 10th at:
