Through a series of experiential exercises this session seeks to explore presence based practices around Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging. Participants will explore there is more to us than our story through the recognition of old patterns that have us stuck. This session is intended to engage the concepts and mindful practices that foster a personal environment of diversity, equity and inclusion that can be woven through our work and the world.

Sara Agostinelli, Ed.D.

As we strive to increase racial diversity of our teams, have we, as white leaders, stopped to reflect on our own development? Is our own leadership approach as inclusive as our hiring practices? This workshop aims to go beyond learning about white privilege and asks participants to reflect on their own racial experiences and consider if the work we are doing is creating a truly inclusive environment. The presenter of this session is a white woman, and the session is designed to be both reflective and conversational to look at how our own identities are impacting how we supervise others.
