Learn what to do when too much information is shared in training sessions, reignite your passion for your work, and identify your “hot buttons” at work so you can respond more effectively.

Here are 5 of our most popular posts that you may find helpful – all in one quick go-to reference.

: Our Top 5 Most Popular Posts, In a Go-To Reference Here are 5 of our most read posts, covering everything from diversity, equity & inclusion issues to self-care, hot buttons in the workplace, and racism.

When it comes to creating inclusive environments for everyone – places where each and every person feels comfortable, respected and valued – each of us has personal intentions on how we’d like to get there.

Problem is, intentions aren’t enough.

We must do the work. Perhaps at no other point in time has this been more crucial.

Keep reading for a few actionable tips: https://drkathyobear.com/creating-change/inclusion-intentions-arent-enough-we-need-real-actions/

Inclusion Intentions Aren’t Enough: We Must Take Action All change agents have intentions surrounding diversity, equity & inclusion. But if we want to make a meaningful, lasting difference, we must take action.

At times, the ugliness of discrimination can overshadow the rich benefits of inclusion.

Successful growth in any business, organization, and society as a whole rests upon recognizing and including everyone.

As Jesse Jackson said, “Inclusion is not a matter of political correctness. It is the key to growth.”

So how can you be a more effective ally for diversity, equity and inclusion in your organization?

Persistence, dedication and awareness can help you achieve your goal. The road to inclusion can feel daunting – but the benefits far surpass the challenges. Research has shown that companies with executive teams at the top 25% of ethnic and racial diversity were 33% more likely to see higher financial gains.

When your road to inclusion faces the inevitable bumps and roadblocks, reminding others of the positive benefits can offer inspiration and motivation! Keep reading here: https://drkathyobear.com/facilitation-and-design/speak-up-for-inclusion/

Stand Up for Inclusion: How to Be An Effective Ally How can you be a more effective ally for diversity, equity and inclusion in your organization? Here are some tips to point you in the right direction.

You’ve often heard me say that when it comes to diversity, equity & inclusion, I’m in it for the long haul.

It’s so true a statement that I wrote a book with that very same title.

Why?

Because it’s a goal that cannot be accomplished during one employee training session.

Diversity, equity & inclusion training can be tough work. But it’s urgently needed. It’s vital for organizational success and for future generations.

We need to press on with our efforts – and be aware of (and avoid) the potholes and roadblocks along our way. Find out more here: https://drkathyobear.com/in-it-for-the-long-haul/

If you’ve ever wondered why well-intended diversity initiatives to create more inclusive, socially just organizations often fall short of anticipated outcomes, you’re far from alone.

Over the many decades I’ve been in this field, I’ve seen it all too often.

Be part of the transformational solution your organization needs to lead real, lasting change. Think it’s impossible? Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, there has never been a better time to ignite the change so needed in our organizations and in our world.

Learn how to mobilize everyone in your organization to create more inclusive, socially just environments during my engaging 75-minute (including Q&A) webinar: https://drkathyobear.com/inclusionwebinar/

How honest are you able to be in front of your boss?

For many employees, honest discussion on many topics is inhibited when supervisors and bosses are present.

Discussing discrimination and exclusion in the workplace can prove even more challenging when bosses – who have the power to hire and fire – are themselves the ones needing the most training on inclusion practices.

So what’s the correct way to hold sessions?
Include supervisors and not have full employee input?
Or leave the bosses out even though you recognize they’re in need of discrimination and exclusion training as well?

I prefer to include supervision and staff together.

Here’s why:
