D&I WEBINAR: Getting Senior Leaders on Board

17 March 2020 @ 12:30 - 13:30

Webinar summary of Diversity & Inclusion: Getting Senior Leaders on Board

A compact summary of the 1/2-day session held during the week prior to this webinar.

Do you find that your Diversity & Inclusion initiatives seem to be held back by certain people in the organisation?

Do you perceive resistance when you try to involve someone in Diversity & Inclusion?

Do you come across people that ‘just don’t’ get Diversity & Inclusion?

Do you see that people don’t do what they promise and you need them to work with you to have more impact?

In this session we will show you skills and techniques that impact people and influence them to get on board with Diversity & Inclusion. We focus clearly on the organisational, interpersonal, communication and persuasion skills needed to get people to want to give you their support. It’s a practical course, which will leave you feeling more confident in your ability to influence team leaders and middle managers.

Webinar Content:

  • Identify your key stakeholders and recognise what is holding them back;
  • Learn how to put yourself in the shoes of your audience, and tailor the business case; and
  • Understand and practice with nudging techniques.

This session is for you if:

  • You currently have responsibility for driving Diversity & Inclusion;
  • You are a Director in your company;
  • Your role sits within Human Resources and you want to learn how to motivate your internal clients to meet the overall objectives of the organisation;
  • You are a Diversity & Inclusion practitioner or champion; or
