Author, Speaker, Inclusion Strategist
Course details
You’ve probably encountered initiatives at your workplace focused on increasing inclusion. Some seem to work, some have no effect, and some even have a negative impact. What differentiates these efforts at creating inclusive environments? While they may all be created with good intentions, good intentions alone are not enough. In fact, as Ruchika Tulshyan illustrates in this course, good intentions without awareness can be the biggest barrier to creating a truly inclusive environment, because many of us believe intention alone is enough to make change. They’re not. Your intentions may be positive, but they may not be received positively. True impact requires much more effort than simply having good intentions, it takes learning and regular practice. Take this course to find out how.
