Course details
In this course, workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) expert and global leadership coach Dumi Senda shows you how to create an environment that supports belonging in the workplace. Research shows that leaders wrongly assume that their organizations are inclusive, overlooking the issues that affect their people, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds. This ‘perception gap’ leads to often unintended but harmful oversights. In this course, you can find out how to be more intentional about using your influence more positively. Explore ways to identify real needs and provide tailored support. Learn about the role your biases and assumptions play in shaping how inclusive your leadership is and develop the skills to challenge your assumptions and manage your biases. Plus, practice the skills to inspire others to uphold best practice and the courage to challenge inappropriate conduct, including your own.
