5 Shifts Leaders Need To Make To Build Inclusive Workplaces

Listen Later

There’s a group of people who are going to struggle to build inclusion over the next few years.

I’m going to explain who they are so you can avoid becoming one of them.

Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

  1. Why emotional appeals fall flat with business stakeholders.
  2. How structured conversations build real-world credibility.
  3. Why inclusion must align with a measurable business problem.

    Key Takeaways from This Episode:

    1. I want to make the next logical step easy for you.
      • “This is where most People Leaders freeze. The ask is too vague (‘more support’), too broad (‘change the culture’), or too ambitious (‘overhaul everything’). Instead, make the next step: logical, specific, aligned with business priorities.”
      • I want to help you stop guessing and start leading.
        • “Your business case isn’t complete until it’s been pressure-tested. Not in a focus group. Not in a steering committee. In real conversations—with people who don’t already agree with you.”
        • I want to work with leaders who are ready to stop ticking boxes and start leading with impact.
          • “If you don’t have a business case for diversity or inclusion, one will be given to you. It probably won’t be yours. It will belong to someone else. It will be provided by someone who does not have your best interests at heart.”
