From individual work styles to feeling a sense of belonging where you can be your authentic self at work, we ask participants to take an inside-out view on how they show up as a leader, how they influence others and how they can impact the organization in an effort to build a more equitable workplace. Their willingness to be an “Ally” and adapt how they view and approach the work—and those performing the work—with a supportive lens to enhance the organizational culture and advocate for others will aid in the development of new mindsets, skillsets, and toolsets necessary to be effective at cultivating a healthy and inclusive workplace dynamic for all. We will explore and address:
- The many dimensions of diversity and our own identity
- Inclusive behaviors that enable allyship
- What it looks like to be an ally
- How to actively advocate for and support others at work
- Encouraging personal growth in others by helping them embrace change and become an ally themselves to advance the business
