Webinar Outline


Moving from diversity rhetoric to authentic belonging is challenging. This interactive workshop provides a framework for honestly evaluating your organization's or community's stage of inclusion. Through facilitated discussion and reflection, participants will identify systemic and cultural barriers hindering progress and gain tailored strategies to dismantle those blockers. Leave with a roadmap of tangible next steps to advance equity, amplify marginalized voices, and foster an empowering culture where all can thrive.



Learning Objectives:


  • Assess the current stage of belonging using metrics on trust, psychological safety, retention, and engagement.
  • Identify root causes and systemic barriers creating stagnation. Discuss challenges openly through story-sharing and perspectives-taking.
  • Develop a targeted action plan with tools to increase accountability, equity, and cultural transformation relevant to your organizational context.
