When we have diversity, we all win. When businesses have diversity, we all win again. Diverse leadership can be linked to greater performance. When diversity is aspirational and tied to your greater business strategy, you have a better chance of receiving buy-in from the organization because it reflects on your outcomes. #leadership #diversity Forbes Forbes Coaches Council Incito Executive & Leadership Development

People are opting out of vital conversations about diversity and inclusivity because they fear looking wrong, or being wrong. Choosing our own comfort over hard conversations is the epitome of privilege, and it corrodes trust, and moves us away from meaningful and lasting change. Incito.ca/DareToLead

Calling all Vancouver leaders - our Dare To Lead program in Vancouver happening on March 26th & 27th, 2020 is only weeks away! The curriculum developed by the Brené Brown Education and Research Group addresses the following key challenges (and more): 1. We avoid tough conversations, including giving honest, productive feedback. ... 2. Rather than spending a reasonable amount of time proactively acknowledging and addressing the fears and feelings that show up during change and upheaval, we spend an unreasonable amount of time managing problematic behaviours. 3. Diminishing trust caused by a lack of connection and empathy. 4. Not enough people are taking smart risks or creating and sharing bold ideas to meet changing demands and the insatiable need for innovation. 5. We get stuck and defined by setbacks, disappointments, and failures, so instead of spending resources on clean-up to ensure that consumers, stakeholders, or internal processes are made whole, we are spending too much time and energy reassuring team members who are questioning their contribution and value.

If we want to live a life of meaning and contribution...we have to let go of exhaustion, busyness, and productivity as status symbols and measures of self-worth. Incito.ca/DareToLead
