Inputs to Action Diversity Podcast

Understanding and appreciating how we are all so different and so much the same at the same time can be challenging. Add in work and hierarchy and it can really be tough to sort through sometimes, but for the sake of our culture, we must sort through it and get good at it. The best way to do that is talk about it.

Sometimes things happen that leave us feeling outside of the group. We cannot always be sure of the intentions of others but we can be very purposeful about ours. Hearing others talk about issues of inclusion in the workplace can help you get clear about what you are experiencing and how you want to show up. Check out what my guests have to say! You will find them interesting, entertaining and, above all, educational.
