Diversity, Equity And Inclusion
Interactive, online workshops presented in collaboration with our partners to build requisite skills leading to new habits that foster inclusion.
“We all have the ability to promote a culture of acceptance and inclusion — and that is something I believe every leader has a responsibility to do. It starts with having a dialogue until we are all comfortable and no longer have the fear of saying the wrong thing.”
– Inga Beale, Former CEO of the Lloyd’s of London
Using Meditation to Explore Privilege and Anti-Racism
As meditators, we learn to observe with full attention in the present moment and without judgment. By doing so, we can access our inner wisdom and see situations more clearly, listen more acutely, and learn to respond instead of react. That doesn’t mean that as meditators we know everything or will perfectly act all the time. Meditation is simply a practice that facilitates our ability to live more mindfully and authentically, utilizing the information within our awareness.
LEADING FROM A PLACE OF AWARENESS
The regular practice of meditation and mindfulness leads to greater self-awareness which allows us to recognize how others see us, act with attunement and empathy, and learn to pause and be more mindful of our impact. These skills help build new habits that facilitate belonging and inclusion in the workplace and positively impact organizational culture.
