In industries across the country, some diversity and inclusion (D&I) efforts are
missing their mark. One of the key challenges goes much deeper than the
programs, resources, or structures that diversity and inclusion practitioners
face. The truth is that even those most dedicated to D&I can be hampered by
habitual ways of thinking that limit the maximum effectiveness of their D&I
efforts. So, the problem with your D&I efforts might be you.

In industries across the country, some diversity and inclusion (D&I) efforts are
missing their mark. One of the key challenges goes much deeper than the
programs, resources, or structures that diversity and inclusion practitioners
face. The truth is that even those most dedicated to D&I can be hampered by
habitual ways of thinking that limit the maximum effectiveness of their D&I
efforts. So, the problem with your D&I efforts might be you.

But, there’s a powerful tool available to address this problem: mindfulness.
Being inclusion-minded is a leadership function. It can directly impact our
attitudes, leadership approach, and the way we interact with others. While an
inclusive mindset is a key leadership competency in today’s marketplace, there
are multiple roles within organizations where people are tasked with leading
diversity and inclusion efforts or have taken on the responsibility themselves.

Assuming a true leadership role in D&I requires going beyond the basics to
become an Intentional Inclusionist™, beginning with a mindful approach. If you
don’t intentionally include, you will unintentionally exclude.

This white paper includes an evaluation of current challenges to D&I and
practical information on how mindfulness helps to overcome them. More
importantly, this tool offers you the chance to develop new ways to think about
the work of inclusion to energize your process and maximize your results.
