Inclusive Leadership

How to Develop an Inclusive Mindset and Behavior for Business and Personal Success

There’s a simple contradiction in the way leaders manage their people and run their organizations that is too often overlooked; they are addicted to sameness in an age of diversity. That is fundamentally an unsustainable position to be in. Understanding and being adept at inclusive leadership will help leaders thrive in their increasingly diverse environment.

Inclusion is not just about accepting people’s differences – it’s about leveraging colleagues’ and employees’ unique experiences and backgrounds, as well as understanding your customers’ needs, to drive innovation and results.

Reframe inclusion for leaders to benefit them and the wider organization. Learn from real-world examples and understand what being an inclusive leader looks like.

By attending this session, you will learn how to:

• Learn what inclusive leadership practices are in practice
• Be inspired to find your personal ‘why’ and become an inclusive leader
• Benefit your organization at large by embedding inclusivity from the top

PROGRAM FORMAT: From a 45-75 minute keynote with Q & A to a half-day workshop

PERFECT AUDIENCE: Chief Diversity Officers and Human Resource department leaders.

Creating Inclusive Cultures

A diverse workforce doesn’t mean your organization is a safe and inclusive place to work. It doesn’t mean that your employees are able to perform to their full potential. In order to leverage the true power of a diverse workforce, your organizational culture must be inclusive. Learn how to make this a reality.

By attending this session, you will learn how to:

• Practical insights and ‘nudges’ needed to create and maintain an inclusive workplace culture
• Learn how to engage your organization in this culture, from top to bottom
• See how organizations are doing this successfully

Embedding Inclusion into Strategy

Without inclusion, diversity can fail. Stephen offers a powerful, humorous and compelling argument for inclusion, based on empirical evidence from around the world combined with the latest Harvard research. It is a thought provoking, challenging and informative opportunity to refresh the believers and convert the currently unconvinced that inclusion enhances.

In order to be successful and make a real impact, inclusion needs to be central to organizational strategy. It must be fully supported by the CEO and have buy-in from key stakeholders and be central to how your organization operates day to day. Learn how to make this a reality and why inclusion will benefit your organization as a whole.

By attending this session, you will learn how to:

• Position D&I to support the core purpose and impact of the organization.
• Ensure D&I is part of organizational strategy.
• Design diversity and inclusion strategies tailored to the business goals of an organization
