Often we think our voice alone is insignificant. However, when we team up the message becomes loud. This is true for so many topics... today I am talking about creativity and making sure your local councils/government understand its importance. From a QLDC perspective, we have the opportunity to submit feedback on the recent Creativity and Culture Strategy draft. It's as simple as a few clicks (1 minute of your time) 👇 The more 'noise' the better. https://lnkd.in/gCZVN9Sr

DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging) is facing a moment of truth. Critics are pointing at gaps in the execution of DEIB as inauthentic while the champions of DEIB pointing back that the critics either do not understand the complicated field or don't want to. The single point of failure and success of the required culture change in a team are the people leaders who make everything happen - they're left bewildered by this finger pointing when the Why of DEIB is not clearly connected to the What. This disconnect not only sparks criticism but also hampers effective responses. A litmus test for people leaders and their teams on whether any culture change is to drive authentic DEIB comes when they hire a new person to the team. How can you actionably use strategic hiring to drive culture change in your team for authentic DEIB? Check out this post from my sidegig Belong & Lead - over the next several weeks, we will cover bite-size content related to 5 tangible steps to drive culture change through hiring, with a playbook. For those who want to go beyond bite-size and want to read the full article (10 minute read), the article is posted in the the comment of the post attached below. ⬇ #diversityequityinclusionbelonging #leadership #employeeexperience #culturechange

Just finished the course “Confronting Bias: Thriving Across Our Differences” by Arianna Huffington and Vernā Myers! A really fantastic course focusing on the impact of inclusion and how we can cultivate an inclusive culture. To address bias, we need to get comfortable with discomfort, and be curious to learn about others. There also has to be willingness to do the work! 3 ideas to be left with:  1) Consciousness - stay open and be intentional 2) Courage - step forward to learn new things and also face ourselves and personal biases 3) Compassion - empathize with others and give yourself grace as you learn Check it out: https://lnkd.in/dBCP3DNr #unconsciousbiasawarenesstraining #diversityinclusion.

Just finished the course “Confronting Bias: Thriving Across Our Differences” by Arianna Huffington and Vernā Myers! Check it out: https://lnkd.in/dD3KJJuZ #unconsciousbiasawarenesstraining #diversityinclusion. 5 Key Takeaways: 1. Diversity and Inclusion are two different things. 2. Everyone has a culture! We tend to equate culture with race, ethnicity or nationality whereas culture is simply related to what we have all been taught about what's important, what's valuable, how to act, how to think, what's beautiful, etc.  3. Unconscious Bias is connected to our 'fast brain' that takes shortcuts, sorts things out very quickly and makes conclusions based on themes, patterns and schemes.  4. Dealing with Unconscious Bias requires us to be willing to say something, safely interrupt the bias, expand our comfort zone and become more comfortable with discomfort. 5. Inclusion is based on the 3 C's: Consciousness. Courage. Compassion. #ConfrontingBias #AprilLearningChallenge #RobertBirdGroup

Research shows that a staggering 81% of cultural change initiatives fail. Why do so many of them end up unsuccessful? In my current reading of Leandro Herrero's book Viral Change, he sheds light on the power of peer-to-peer dynamics in driving successful culture change. Herrero emphasizes that peer-to-peer influence is the most powerful force in creating change, not top-down instructions. People change because they see others they respect doing things differently. #CultureChange, #OrganizationalTransformation
