Diversity & Inclusion: Influencing Team Leaders and Middle Managers Find out what motivates team leaders and middle managers & what doesn’t

About this Event
Do you find that, despite direction from the top, your Diversity & Inclusion initiatives often get stuck at the individual team level? Do you sense that team leaders have other priorities to manage and, with the best will in the world, D&I priorities seem to remain at the bottom of the list? Do you wish team leaders were just as committed to D&I progress as senior leaders?

In this session we will show you how to find out what motivates team leaders and middle managers and what doesn’t. You will learn skills and techniques to influence and motivate them so that everyone is pulling in the same direction to embed Diversity & Inclusion.

The session will be run on the Zoom platform. There will be interaction with participants and exercises very similar to a face to face event. We will run 2 x 90 minute session, with a half hour comfort break in between.

We limit group size to 10 people, so there is time to get to know each other, work in break out groups and ask specific questions about your situation.

Get ready with a cuppa in front of your screen, and join us!
