Whether we have lived with it as an active part of our life or have had the privilege to ignore it and deny it, it has shaped our understanding of our country and each other. Since racism has always been a loaded, hot-button, triggering topic to discuss, many leaders have flatly avoided talking about it. Since the summer of 2020, however, organizations are realizing that this issue is not going away. Workers want organizations that are inclusive and equitable. As such, the avoidance strategy that has allowed leaders to manage this issue in the past is emerging as the biggest problem of all. Fortunately for all of us, Gena Cox has taken the time to think deeply about how to open the door to these important conversations. Listen in for compassionate, insightful, and practical advice to help all of us navigate conversations about creating inclusion in the workplace.\r\n\r\nJoin us as we discuss: \r\n\u00b7 How the root cause of the failure of most DEI initiatives is avoidance driven by a lack of skills on the part of even the most well-meaning leaders\r\n\u00b7 How respect is the opposite of grandstanding and is the foundation of our only viable path forward to create inclusive workplaces \r\n\u00b7 How to have respectful relationships with your employees even when difficult conversations and decisions are needed","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/1848df39-9093-4d2e-9db6-6de03aeea5c8/Whklv5xqJq6BUJ40aPm-sStV.jpg"}
