1:30   How does inclusivity strengthen an organization?

We can be privileged and excluded at the same time


4:00 What are D, E, and I?

Diversity: who we are

Inclusion: how we are treated

Do differences divide: why can’t we just treat each other as individuals?

Companies often hire for diversity and manage for similarity, which is self-defeating


We can learn about our unconscious biases but we can’t eliminate them

Sometimes we surprise ourselves with our own prejudices

Are we making eye contact with some people and not others


10:00 Do I have the will to compensate for my unconscious biases?

Am I willing to let others help hold me accountable?

Different perspectives bring us closer to the truth


Our brains are naturally lazy and take shortcuts to the familiar and comfortable

How do you draw a cup and saucer?

The limitations of pattern recognition


15:00   Experiential teaching promotes learning and awareness

Give people time to think and discover their own epiphanies


18:00 What does it mean to be labelled?

The goal of diversity is to bring us together but the outcome often drives us apart

The need of creating a culture of respect

Leaders have responsibility to set the example that defines the environment


24:00 Make sure every person present is invited to speak without interruption

Begin to build community and trust

Are some people looking for reasons to be offended?

How do we react when others’ deeply held values offend us?

Sometimes we need to get out ego out of the way


Turn the case around: is your reaction the same?

Sometimes we can bend our rules to show respect for others

Use humor to defuse tension


36:00 Will people accept or embrace a new reality?

Inclusion takes more work than we think

What’s in it for us?

Research shows that diverse groups make better decisions


41:30 Word of the day: fulminate

To protest vehemently or explode

When we are challenged, our reflex might be to lash out explosively

Being moderate really means to moderate our behavior

Give the benefit of the doubt and presume positive intent

Expect more from ourselves and a little less from others
