Takeaways:
Stumbling towards inclusion involves embracing moments of failure and learning from them with curiosity and grace.Kindness and love are powerful tools of inclusion.Inclusive leadership involves recognising and amplifying the voices of women and minority leaders.A leader's responsibility is to use their privilege to mentor, promote, hire, and uplift others, with a view of DEI.Difficult conversations can be a gift and an opportunity for growth and connection.Conflict avoidance is based in the need to be perfect, but we can embrace conflict as a means of building better relationships.Privilege is the unearned advantages we have and it is our responsibility to recognise and use that to create positive change. -
