A new episode of “Serve the Team” is available! Listen to my dynamic conversation with Sacha Thompson about inclusive leadership. We explore how leaders can connect with their employees and nuanced ways to help people feel they belong and are heard. We discussed what leaders need from their organizations, in order to feel supported in their efforts to be inclusive, and how leaders can build their practice to think about diversity, equity, and inclusion, in a more universal way, rather than in the.narrow perspective typically seen in the policies organization use to check the box that DEI needs are being met. What was fascinating is that the conversation organically flowed into why self-care is so important for leaders today. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with Sacha and know you will too. I have added the resources recommended by Sacha to the show notes. https://offerings.
