Something that I have learned through being a part of the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Core team, is the importance of taking accountability and responsibility to educate myself. Learning in bite size chunks is a great way of doing this, and following the Diversity calendar of events is a good way to prompt that learning. Etex follows a communications content plan to prompt and suggest topics, we encourage teammates to share stories about their experienced through our "Teammate stories" that can inspire others too. June has been Pride month, and you might wonder why June? Where did this originate? How did it get sarted? What does this month draw attention to? I found interesting resources which I will share. I hope to inspire you to join me in the learning journey. So, first this one: https://lnkd.in/gNCN_SYk

Do you know what intersectionality is? CI&Ters Hiura Fernandes and Fabiana Pazotto demystify this concept and bring it into our daily lives from different perspectives. This video is part of our internal project, "Unfold Diversity," an initiative to unfold conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion. The main goal is to inform and engage CI&Ters to deepen their knowledge about these topics. We decided that this content is too important to stay with us, so we invite you to join us in this learning journey! #Inclusion #Intersectionality #UnfoldDiversity

📚 "Don't judge a book by its cover!" 🌟 Let's remember that diversity comes in many forms - backgrounds, experiences, and personalities. Embracing this diversity enriches our lives and opens doors to new ideas and opportunities we might never have imagined. So, the next time you encounter someone new, take a moment to engage, learn, and appreciate the stories that make them who they are. 🌍✨ #DiversityMatters #OpenMinds #Inclusion #GrowthMindset

Inclusion Consultant | Sharing the joy of Inclusion :-D | Chief Inclusion Officer | Strategic Planner | Leadership Developer
Happy Friday! Another end to an awesome week! By witnessing the value of inclusion firsthand, it’s hard not to feel responsible for making it a topic of discussion. Yet, someone with the Responsibility strength makes it their duty. Here are a few Responsibility characteristics. --- People with Responsibility are highly honorable. --- They hold themselves to a high standard and are known for going above and beyond. --- Commit to their word and hold themselves accountable to it. When I consider having someone on my team with responsibility, I appreciate their dedication. I can always count on someone who has Responsibility as their strength. They are the glue that holds all our efforts together. I couldn’t do it without them. Enjoy the end of your week! #joyofinclusion #strengthbasedinclusion #Inclusionontheslopes #inclusionontheslopes #SWORDInclusionSystem #PhaseFiveDailyAssessment

Why PREACH Inclusion®? Our new name has been 12-months in the making. As an organisation, BAME (Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority) was no longer representative of the work we do. Since evolving into a company nearly four years ago, our remit has expanded to include race workshops, creative content around different faiths and religions, as well as insights into different cultures. We also know that many ethnic minority individuals don’t describe themselves as 'BAME' and we wanted to leave this controversial term behind. Many of you who’ve been in our workshops will have been asked, ‘What does race mean to you?’ The responses we got were so varied and that’s where we took some inspiration. And there came the new name of PREACH Inclusion® (Promoting Race, Ethnicity and Cultural Heritage) – a better reflection of how 𝘸𝘦 identify ourselves, what the focus of the organisation has been for a while and where we aim to take it in the future. Read more in the link in the first comment. 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧®, Promote it, Preach it. PC: Raj Gedhu.

Keynote Speaker Who Sings 🎶 | UNMUTE Yourself | 🔴 TEDx | I unleash purpose, passion, and potential in people so they are more engaged and fulfilled in life and at work 🦚 #UnmuteYourself Live Show Host
Now, more than ever, people desire to feel seen, heard, and recognized. They want to feel relevant, included, and like they matter. But so many people don’t. They feel invisible, excluded, and overlooked. They wonder if they matter. Last week, I have the opportunity to interview Mita Mallick about the topic of her new book - Reimagine Inclusion. Something she said in our conversation and wrote in her book was this: 💬 “Inclusion doesn’t start at our conference room tables; it starts at our kitchen tables.” It starts in our homes and in our communities. As we celebrate the life and legacy of MLK Jr. today, I think the greatest gift we can give each other is the gift of listening, the gift of our presence. To seek to understand. To do the hard work of looking in the mirror and being willing to learn, grow, and change. To read a book like this one that - through storytelling, wit, and wisdom - shows you how to transform your workplace and yourself. Here’s one thing you can do today to get started: 📱 Reach out to someone that you often overlook and let them know something specific you value about them. Begin with your sphere of influence. Because “inclusion” starts with “I.” ❤️ #inclusion #belonging #unmuteyourself

Inclusion is a song that my spirit sings. Most of you do not want to listen because you are not as inclusive as you need to be. We can do better! We must work towards creating a culture of belonging where everyone feels valued and included. Together, we can make a difference by listening, learning, and taking action to ensure that everyone's voice is heard. If you any good book recommendations on inclusion and belonging, kindly add it to the comments. Let's make inclusion a priority in everything we do. #inclusion #belonging #diversityandinclusion
