How to Implement Truly Inclusive Leadership

9:00 AM (PST)

We all accept the challenge of supporting and embracing diversity in a way that values, recognizes, and accepts individuals for who they are. But how do we succeed at this?

Inclusive leadership demonstrates respect for the abilities, beliefs, backgrounds, and cultures of our team and engages those with diverse perspectives so that everyone feels an unconditional sense of belonging.

​

Join ThinkHuman at PERKSCon LA on September 21st for an interactive Learning Jam on what inclusive leadership is and its impact on teams and humans, and understanding the importance of inclusion and belonging in teams. This condensed session from our core leadership development program will help you build a concrete path forward with empathy and belonging as your guideposts.
