In this session, you will gain insight into what it means to be an inclusive leader, including taking on the difference as your own and being courageous in conversation and your actions.



Objectives:
  • Recognize the traits of an inclusive leader.
  • Determine how character strengths can unlock bias in the workplace.
  • Assess and increase your level of consciousness, courage and adaptability required to be an inclusive leader.
