Books That Will Help Guide You On Your DEI Journey
Approaching your DEI journey from an informed place is crucial for successfully co-creating a culture of inclusion and belonging at your organization. When we approach the work of inclusion from an uninformed place, we are less likely to succeed in leading the organizational change we hope to see.
