Let’s establish a 2020 Belonging Vision this New Year. If you need support on clarifying this vision, be sure to explore several exciting activities our firm already has on the calendar. Save the date and be sure to bring a colleague or two along for the learning journey. As we enter the new “Roaring ‘20’s,” we have many opportunities to grow the #BelongingMovement, and we look forward to collaborating with you to build belonging at work for all of your stakeholders.

There are only a few more days for you to join fellow leaders, visionaries, change agents, movers, and shakers in getting the support you need to grow the #BelongingMovement. The Belonging Challenge will clarify your vision of what it means to belong at work, offer one 5 minute action you could take each day during the month of November, and get connected to the mentorship and peer support you need to stay focused. If this sounds like a good fit for you, enroll in the program today! Registration for the Challenge closes on Friday, November 1 when the first belonging challenge begins. Together, let’s grow the #BelongingMovement!

In the DEI world, this artistic concept of negative space translates into concrete guidance for leaders eager to construct their own definition of radical inclusion. This work gets an organization closer to establishing a culture where everyone wants to be radically included.

It is the first installment of a 5-part blog series related to the inaugural Belonging at Work Online Summit taking place October 7 – 11, 2019. Save your seat for the Summit here. Registration is FREE!

On World Kindness Day, Rhodes Perry moderated a panel discussion with some of today’s most inspiring diversity, equity, and inclusion thought leaders. Together, they discussed how workplace leaders could cultivate workplace cultures of belonging after the midterm elections. If you were unable to participate in the November 13 discussion, you now have the opportunity to watch a recording of the panel and learn how political changes impact workplace culture. You will also gain insights on how to navigate politics and lead on workplace belonging.

This October, let us celebrate, remember, and honor the sacrifices and hard work of the many LGBTQ people, and our allies, who have come before us to help make the workplace a more welcoming and inclusive environment for so many within the Rainbow Family.
