Walk away with a science-based understanding of why a culture of inclusion is a necessary foundation for diversity.
Diversity and inclusion: What are they, and what should you focus on? In this session, Steve Robbins will examine the differences between these concepts and make a powerful case for each, while also suggesting that one is built on the foundation of the other. Using the science of human behavior and his unique ability to make the complex simple, Robbins will leave you with a better understanding of what strategy you might consider as you address issues of diversity and inclusion. In this session, you will:
- Gain a more science-based understanding of diversity and inclusion and learn why one is the foundation for the other.
- Hear a neuroscience perspective of inclusion and its importance for optimal performance.
- Learn strategies for building a culture of inclusion.
