In this episode, Beth Cougler Blom talks with Mansi Jasuja about the many impacts of hosting events which exclude individuals from participating, including social, environmental, psychological, and economic considerations, and how groups can be more intentional to foster inclusivity and invite participation.

Beth and Mansi also talk about:

• the psychological safety needed to engage groups
• matching the diversity outside the room inside the room
• cultivating emergent wisdom
• why Q&As are problematic
• key considerations around harvesting and followup
