Diversity & Inclusion
Methods to Promote Diversity & Inclusion:
Venture Beyond Your Comfort Zone Introduce, Interact, & Grow
Be Kind It’s Contagious
Don’t Assume Anything Every person is Different
Accept the Difference Try not to judge
Diversity & Inclusion
Approaches to a Great Culture:
1. Avoid Colorblindness This rids diversity of “value”
and “meaning”
2. Don’t know, Ask! Kindly
3. Say Something You accept behaviors if you
don’t speak up
I Want You To Know
Activity!
Write down a group to which you identify and answer the provided questions.
Questions: What do you want us to know about your group? What do you never want to see, hear or experience? What you want your allies to do?
