Culture in Motion: LearningBurst Bundle
Work Inclusively to Ensure All are Heard
To get the best ideas on the table, to participate in a rigorous debate over the best ideas, to invite colleagues with opinions and perspectives that are different than ours – it might be more difficult to get to an agreement, but in the end, it is almost always a better decision. Because ‘none of us is as smart as all of us,’ it is essential to work inclusively to get to the best solution.In this MicroBurst we will discuss the importance of selecting a diverse team, creating space for all to contribute, and the value of a contrarian. Use our Work Inclusively template to help formulate your action steps and start building a more inclusive work environment.
Disrupt Unconscious Bias: Ensure a Diverse and Inclusive Work Environment
This introductory LearningBurst is highly interactive around a critical, personal topic that requires all to be open-minded and focused on the impact of our words and actions on others. You will be exposed to examples of words, actions, habits that can convey an unconscious bias and when acted upon, make someone feel like they are not in the ‘in group’, not included. The goals of the LearningBurst are to get learners to acknowledge bias, recognize it, and use tools to disrupt it before it harms others.
How to Receive Feedback Well: Use a Growth Mindset
Getting feedback is so important we should ask for it regularly. It is empowering to seek feedback. It means we are humble enough to continue to learn and confident enough to seek some coaching. But being open to receiving feedback is not always easy. It requires a growth mindset and thinking from the pre-frontal cortex – the logical part of the brain.
