Building Teams Where Everyone is Heard

Most teams pay lip service to the importance of team diversity and getting the best ideas on the table, but how many teams actively invest in it?

Building teams where everyone is heard doesn’t come for free. Rather, it is rooted in valuing diversity and grown through intentional action. In this discussion we will explore ways to promote full-team engagement for under-represented groups, soft-spoken employees, people with imposter syndrome – everyone!

Attendees will walk away with concrete steps to open up communication within their teams, whether they are in management or an individual contributor.
