Inclusive Leadership: Advocating in a Time of Change

This workshop is designed to help learners develop the skills and knowledge necessary to advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in their organizations and communities. Learners will discuss the continuum of inclusive leadership and collaborate to identify conscious steps that leaders can take to shift from being passive to advocating for workplace inclusivity. Through interactive exercises, case studies, and group discussions, students will examine the barriers to equity and inclusion and explore strategies for advocacy and allyship. The course will also inform and engage learners in discussing effective communication techniques and change management practices that are inclusive and people-centric. Learners will then have the opportunity in groups to discuss how to apply what they learned in various case study scenarios related to topics such as recruitment, promotions, team meetings, providing feedback, and introducing new processes.
