How to get over fear of talking about diversity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No8MJmkCMSU Leaders are paramount in any business process – including shaping towards change within their organisations. Aggie Mutuma makes suggestions about how leaders can connect with inclusion at a values-level by figuring out what inclusion means to them personally – an essential first step towards raising conversations around diversity in the workplace. Through years of witnessing the common barriers that can prevent leaders from addressing diversity with courage and openness, Aggie reflects on her experiences coaching C-Suite Executives to see inclusive values as fairness values first, reframing their fears of being viewed as racist, sexist or homophobic when speaking on topics around diversity, and by highlighting the humanity in making mistakes when speaking about these complex issues. Aggie signposts tools for facilitating understanding during these conversations, reinforces the importance of education around appropriate terminology, and reminds us these dialogues are vital for assuring teammates that their experiences are seen.
