Fostering Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Through the Lens of Gratitude

Abstract

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging is the work of leaders. The opportunity to embrace individuality and grow collectively is something to be appreciated. The work requires leadership at all levels and starts from within. Having the courage to lean into discomfort that comes with the work reaps great rewards. Assessing your organization and applying learnings is the start to culture change. This is only the start, this work is ongoing, and it is with gratitude we should embrace to opportunity for inclusion. We as individuals and teams will benefit as well as those we serve.
