I am excited to announce I'm a proud contributing author to Ludmila Praslova, Ph.D., SHRM-SCP, Âû's latest edited book "Evidence-Based Organizational Practices for Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging and Equity" which has just hit the shelves. My subject: Increasing Employee Engagement and Productivity by Managing with a Neurodiverse Lens. The timing of the book's publication and the International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPWD) couldn't be better. This isn't a book about disability inclusion alone, it's about evidence-based organizational practices for #DEIB. And if your organization isn't doing neurodivergent and disability inclusion in your #DEI mix, you're doing it wrong! :) #idpwd #Management #OrganizationalCulture #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #Belonging #EmployeeEngagement #Productivity #ProductivityImprovement #disability #Neurodivergent Lovely to be associated with the brilliant Bernard Bagorio, SHRM-CP, Gena Cox, PhD, Dr. Norlan Hernández Blandón, Debra Kurtz, Julia Phelan, Fernanda Wolburg Martinez, M.

As a DEIB-Disability consultant, the first question I inevitably get asked is "What's the B for?" And every time it happens, I get excited all over again to explain what Belonging has to do with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. For me, as a female, multi-disabled, leadership professional, Belonging is the crucial end goal of all the work that I do. I have been in search of Belonging as an employee my entire working life. Since I was never able to find it, I decided to partner with companies and organizations to help them create Belonging in their workplaces. But, understanding how belonging fits into the greater DEI picture is something that requires a specific reminder: Belonging and Inclusion are not interchangeable. Because while inclusion is being invited to the party, belonging means you feel like you are meant to be there once you arrive. True inclusion, along with apparent diversity and established equity, is just one step in the journey to the greater goal of belonging. We already know that DEIB initiatives have an impact on organizations as a whole. We know they create higher engagement rates and longer retention rates, which lead to improved revenue streams. Additionally, we know that companies with obviously diverse leadership and executive teams often also see their profits increase. And perhaps most importantly, when Belonging is created in a workplace, it attracts more talented, highly skilled, professionals. Ready to tackle some Belonging with your DEI Disability initiatives? I'm just an email or DM away. Looking for more ways to create AND sustain #DisabilityInclusion in the workplace? Hit the ‘follow’ button! I’m an openly Autistic #DEIB Facilitator and Speaker on a mission to close the disability leadership gap. Want to make your organization truly #inclusive?

#belonging is the feeling of being accepted, valued, and connected to a particular group, community, or place. It's about feeling like you fit in and are an integral part of something larger than yourself. #neuroscience suggests that belonging is deeply rooted in the brain's social circuitry, involving regions such as the amygdala, insula, and prefrontal cortex. When we feel a sense of belonging, these areas are activated, triggering feelings of reward and well-being. Conversely, feelings of rejection or isolation can activate stress-related brain regions. Leaders, let’s lead more engage, happier, people.

The modern workplace: "𝘞𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘺. 𝘞𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦, 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘥." 👀 Apart from the things on this list over here. Because everyone knows if they're questioned, then that person is done. The workplace reality ends up being as weak as that opening statement is wet. ----- Look, to some extent, it is what it is. Businesses operate in all kinds of ways people can't get on board with, The point here is that many cultural claims are highly conditional and the rules of engagement end up narrower than the perception given. ↳ Principles stand for as long as things feel comfortable. ↳ Arguments are heard without judgement if they don't cross some line. ↳ The person has a voice until that voice is questioning one too many beliefs. ----- 𝘌𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦: Let's say a company has a goal to achieve gender parity across their leadership team - a 50:50 male/female split. You might think that's as benign as it gets these days, and it's all a done deal. But, what if someone questions it? What if they pointed out the trade-offs or concerns with creating that target? What if they saw a different reality to the widely held societal position of the day? What if they have an alternative proposal? Who's for listening with an open-mind on that one? Who's for listening when it feels hard to do so? Who's for listening when others say 'no'? ----- PS The example isn't the point here, although I purposefully picked something that would likely be hard for someone to raise.

Such a great article on what we can do to be an active ally in the workplace as well in life! This topic requires all of us to to be involved and make a daily effort. Please take a moment to read it and think about how you can incorporate one or more of the seven ways Dr Poornima Luthra introduces to practice active allyship.

🤔 How can I be an active ally? In the article below in Harvard Business Review, I share the seven behaviours of active allyship from my book ‘The Art of Active Allyship’. “The answer to the question What can I do? lies in…allyship. Allyship is the key to creating inclusive workplaces. According to recent research, employees of organizations that foster strong allyship and inclusion cultures are 50% less likely to leave, 56% more likely to improve their performance, 75% less likely to take a sick day, and up to 167% more likely to recommend their organizations as great places to work. I believe that what we need to make our workplaces truly inclusive is a clear set of practical behaviors that we can embed into our day-to-day working lives. To address this need, below are the seven allyship behaviors that I explore in my book The Art of Active Allyship. Employees at any level can engage in these actions to nurture inclusion in their workplaces.” In ‘Leading through Bias’, we have a list of very practical behaviours that focus on each of the following levels of active allyship: * an inclusive mindset * inclusive interpersonal relationships * inclusive group dynamics * inclusive organisations Having read the article and considering the four levels above, what are you going to 👉🏽 Stop doing 👉🏽 Start doing 👉🏽 Continue doing to be an active ally at each of the levels? #WednesdayWisdom #LeadingThroughBias #LeadingWithAllyship
