Many organizations unconsciously fail to exhibit diversity, inclusion and belonging. This session provides an opportunity for leaders to understand diversity language and definitions, build awareness of biases and stereotypes, recognize how our own actions protect our awareness gaps, and find a level of understanding concerning where we are and where we want to be in the future.
