Leading Inclusion: Drive Change Employees Can See and Feel

Date & Time: October 27, 2022 8:30 - 9:30 am PT / 11:30 am - 12:30 pm ET 

Description: 

This talk will feature HWL member Gena Cox, Ph.D. author of Leading Inclusion: Drive Change Your Employees Can See and Feel (Page Two Books, October 11, 2022) and Lybra Clemons, Chief Diversity Officer, Twilio. 

According to Gena, although we all know that human variation is normal, true inclusion that embraces these normal variations is elusive in the workplace.

Gena will share from Leading Inclusion, a “how-to-be” book, that educates, challenges, and empowers the C-suite and board to lead inclusion from the top of their organizations.  Following along as Gena & Lybra have  fireside chat and  an audience Q&A.

Topics to be discussed include:

• The primary reasons organizations do not seem to be progressing on D.E.I.
• Why Gena believes there really is no such thing as “D.E.I.”
• How the term "REDI" could take the place of D.E.I. and make the most important employee outcome more explicit
• How leaders can act to make the changes employees are waiting to see and feel
