Over the past week, we featured 21 diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) thought leaders inviting us to look at many of the barriers that prevent each of us from feeling a true sense of purpose, meaning, and belonging at work. We also dreamed a bold vision of what we could do to make belonging at work more accessible for folks more marginalized than ourselves. We identified actions we could take to help make belonging at work a bigger, more expansive experience so that it includes the people who are often left out. We recognized our individual gifts, our superpowers, and our power to shift us towards the vision so many of the Summit speakers shared about belonging and the future of work. If you want to bring the Summit home you can grab your extended access pass here.

Back by popular demand, the 2020 Belonging Summit takes place July 13 - 17, and we hope to see you there! The Summit has two primary goals: 1) create an accessible learning experience where leaders, visionaries and change agents can come together to network and support one other no matter their physical location; and, 2) equip participants with the confidence, knowledge, and strategies necessary to build belonging at work, where each person on the team can show up as authentically as they want, do their best work, and help their organization succeed.

Today we celebrate International Transgender Day of Remembrance & Resilience. The day effectively raises visibility to the significant barriers transgender & non-binary people endure in all aspects of our daily lives; however, TDOR alone is not a panacea to dismantle them. Complimenting the day, we need more cisgender allies, accomplices, and champions committed to doing the day-to-day work required to improve the lives and well-being of our communities. This blog post offers more background about TDOR, and encourages you to consider what more you can do to support transgender & non-binary people.
