In this powerful episode of Inspired Nonprofit Leadership, Sarah Olivieri sits down with Inaudy Gil, founder of IIJ Consulting, to talk about what real inclusive leadership looks like in practice—not just in theory. They dig into unconscious bias, neurodiversity, identity, and how creating inclusive cultures starts with simple, human conversations. Inaudy shares actionable ways leaders can create psychologically safe workplaces, make room for difference, and stay aware of their own blind spots—without waiting for a formal DEI training to show up. Whether you're a nonprofit leader or just want to do better by your team, this is a must-listen.
