EXecuTALK: Allyship and the Executive Ally

Description

When it comes to confronting systemic racism and racial discrimination, strong policies and programs that promote diversity and inclusion play a key role in driving change. But research demonstrates that a culture of allyship at the leadership level is also required to foster true and lasting inclusion.

This webinar explores the concept of "proactive allyship" as a lifelong journey. Our guest speakers will discuss behaviours that executives can demonstrate that might contribute to a culture of allyship, including ways to authentically acknowledge the problem of racial discrimination, admit mistakes, and engage in difficult conversations to advance collective learning, accountability and growth.
