'An excellent, example-rich and immediately practical book which will no doubt stay close to hand and dog-eared with use for years to come.' Dr Pippa Grange Psychologist and Author of Fear Less
Talk to anyone about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and it sparks a whole range of emotions. Why? Because DEI, at its very core, is about values and beliefs, and it's about change. So it is no surprise then, that despite putting in place a DEI strategy and multiple initiatives, so many organizations get stuck.
Beyond Discomfort reveals a new model of inclusive leadership, which describes four belief systems and associated emotional responses to DEI.
Discover:
real life stories and expert insights to deepen your understanding of why DEI is so knotty and complex;
self-understanding and new perspectives to better connect with your learned leadership values and beliefs;
reflective questions, practical tools and activities to help develop your inclusive practice.
Nadia Nagamootoo is a Chartered Psychologist, accredited coach, MBA and Founder of Avenir, a DEI consultancy. Through her multiple keynotes and popular podcast show, Why Care?, Nadia has become a profound thought leader in DEI, guiding organizations on an accelerated path to creating inclusion and belonging.
