Overview

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 with four leadership belief systems and associated emotional responses to DEI. Discover: Real life stories to help deepen your understanding of why leaders find DEI so hard Self-insight from the accompanying diagnostic tool to help you assess and better connect with your current leadership perspective Practical tools and activities to help expand your thinking, with specific actions to be more inclusive 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.
