Day Three

How to Manager Resistance to DEI with Dima Ghawi

Levels of Resistance:

Inconvenienced

  • Things are fine the way they are.

  • Not affecting me personally.

  • Nothing new.

Unaware

  • I don't see discrimination or hear racist comments.

  • I don't think that I am racist.

Curious

  • I want to listen and learn.

  • I don't understand what is happening.

  • I am not familiar with the history of racism.

Ally

  • I want to be an ally and advocate for minority groups.

Change Maker

  • DEI is aligned with my personal values.

  • I want to be part of the change.

Exclusion is a GLOBAL ISSUE. It is passed down from one generation to the next. It gives false justification for how to treat others.

Creating a Culture of Inclusion with Dima Ghawi

Creating a culture of inclusion...

1. Understand the organization

2. Awareness and dialogue

  • Confidential channel with trusted party

  • Analyze exit interviews

3. Communication and external branding

  • Be intentional

4. Hiring and promotion

  • Build vision on how to develop them

"Knowledge is light and ignorance is darkness."


"The customer is not always right; inclusion is."

We Got This with Paul Wesselmann

"Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.”

"You can't learn to regulate feelings you don't let yourself have."
