The Solution

The Belonging Builder inclusive leadership development experience motivates leaders who may be indifferent or resistant to diversity and inclusion to instill inclusive behaviors in their daily interactions and decisions to authentically advance a culture of belonging. This approach to inclusive leadership doesn't demand expertise in other cultures or having all the right answers. It centers on self-awareness, curiosity, active listening, and a genuine willingness to learn and adapt.

1. Lack of understanding of and alignment on what belonging is and why it matters.
2. Fear of making mistakes.
3. Not sure what to do beyond training.
