From the Inside Out: Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging | Wendy Knight Agard | TEDxKanata

The issue of inclusion and diversity is on the minds of leaders everywhere. As we work toward understanding how to create and maintain truly inclusive cultures, comprised of diverse groups of people, the focus has been on what we can do for others. What’s most important, is how do we become conscious of embracing and developing diversity within ourselves? Wendy offers insight into diversity from the inside out, what it means, how to become conscious of it and how we can move forward on the path to true acceptance. Wendy is a Coach at Shopify, she understands how to leverage the delicate dance that occurs between the intellect and our emotions—and will spark insights that will help you embrace diversity within yourself so that you can be truly inclusive of others.

Not included in this Inclusion initiative are people who have different opinions from those who are included. In other words, Inclusion is bogus.

When did this talk take place & where?

t's nothing more than racial quotas. They just destroyed the schools for the academically gifted in NYC because certain "groups" didn't make the grade. So, rather than encourage the "groups' to study harder (like the Asian students do), they eliminated the entry qualifications in favor of a lottery system. They in effect numbed down the elite schools. I don't know what other country in the world would do such a self defeating thing, particularly in light of the fact that the USA rates 22nd in the world when it comes to math and science. Anyway, it was done to meet racial quotas. So much with a color blind, merit based society.

That all just sounds like someone with low self esteem not feeling confident in doing things. Is it really diversity within? Just wondering what’s the point we’re getting at here.

She speaks on inclusion and embracing others yet she discriminates against her own family.

[robertcollins]

Quotas benefits for those that haven’t earned it and can’t make the normal standards. In other words- Welfare for certain persons.

[vvwalker]

She isn't pedalling unconscious bias? How often do ideas need to be disproved before they die?

[dcissignedon]

Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, all different names for QUOTAS! Let's stop the injustice of DIE.
