Honoring Our Common Differences: Leadership for Inclusivity
Summary
Inclusivity is the practice of radical hospitality, where people of diverse social and cultural groups experience uncompromising respect and dignity. Inclusive leaders value and actively encourage multiple perspectives. They create positive, collaborative environments in which people feel safe to be themselves and engage in their best work. Gain insights into unconscious bias and inclusivity on individual and organizational levels. Counts as an MLMC elective or CPM class.
Details
Inclusive organizations welcome all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender, race, ethnicity, class, age, disability, etc, to experience respect in an atmosphere of non-judgement and genuine acceptance.
It is essential to examine our own practices in the context of an organization and society where the “isms” are deeply rooted. We are the instruments of change — the more we are aware of and understand our own filters, assumptions, power, and privilege, the greater chance we can use our energy and wisdom to facilitate positive social change and leave a legacy different than the one we inherited.
Learning objectives
- Explore how your life experiences and assumptions affect your understanding of and actions toward inclusivity.
- Discover commonalities and differences between social identities and experiences of the “isms”.
- Examine how “unconscious bias” and “groupthink” lead to unintentional exclusion of others.
- Gain insights into the costs and benefits of privilege.
- Differentiate between non-discriminatory and inclusive behaviors on individual and organizational levels.
Enrollment is limited to 25 to create a safe forum for self-reflection and dialogue.

What Attendees Are Saying:
“I took Kathy’s diversity workshops to fine-tune myself as an instrument for this work. Because of the depth of her commitment and her mastery of how people change and grow, the workshops have helped me do exactly that. A lot of my work has been with Indian elders. Borrowing from their vocabulary, I would say that Kathy has ‘medicine’.”
– Rodney Horikawa
“Kathy’s strategy in introducing diversity issues into the workplace is par excellence!”
– Rev. David Couper
