Course Description

Cultivating inclusion and fostering belonging requires everyone to be comfortable speaking openly and authentically about a range of topics such as equity and fairness, gender and gender identity, disability, racial and ethnic differences, and more. There is no shortage of seminars, books, blogs, and YouTube videos touting the power of candor, empathy, self-awareness, and authenticity in the context of D&I. But learning to speak with confidence, particularly when it comes to uncomfortable topics or sensitive issues can be challenging if you aren't even sure which terms are correct, acceptable or even appropriate.

Talking comfortably about diversity and inclusion starts with understanding the language of equity, belonging, and inclusion.

This program looks at the terminology associated with the practice of diversity, equity and inclusion. We will discuss the importance of understanding the implications, nuance and risk associated with language used to discuss D&I in the workplace.

Learning Objectives:


  • Identify the link between diversity and performance

  • Define terminology using in the practice of D&I

  • Give examples of how language can support or hinder efforts to foster inclusion
