Synopsis

We live in a wonderfully diverse and increasingly connected world. With that rise in connection comes a steep rise in expectations.... Expectations that we know how to talk about diversity, including with people who are different than ourselves.... Expectations that we lean into uncomfortable conversations, with sufficient fluency that we don't cause offence.... Expectations that we act, instead of simply walking by inequality.Although most of us are curious about diversity, and some would go as far as to call ourselves allies, very few of us are skilled in inclusion. In the absence of knowing what to do, we double down on being nice and hope that will be enough. Unfortunately, this optimistic attitude may harm as much as help. Mind the Inclusion Gap is for anyone who wants to move beyond talking to actively shaping an inclusive future. It looks beyond singular diversity categories, exploring the connections between race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation and gender identity. Filled with insight and everyday skills, it will help you navigate the polarised and divisive issues we face in the workplace and in the world.

I......more

We had the pleasure of having Suzy come speak in our workplace about her experience in diversity and inclusion. She was so inspiring and thought provoking - pushing us to challenge our assumptions and preconceptions and get uncomfortable. This book shares the experiences of individuals who live thei......more
