Embracing difference upsets the status quo in good ways. It exposes us to a richer mix of people and ideas that almost always creates better results. At Jim Morris Consulting, we work with leaders and organizations who want to support diversity, equity, and inclusion, but may not know how to do so effectively. From there, we work to develop engagement strategies that bring everyone to the table. We host webinars and workshops to engage corporate teams and entities in the important work of embracing diversity, fostering inclusion, creating an equitable workplace and building a sense of belonging. My new book, Gaslights and Dog Whistles: Standing Up For Facts Over Fiction in a Fearful and Divided World is available now on Amazon. Gaslights and Dogwhistles is a handbook that will support leaders, educators, and teams in effectively addressing adversity that often arises during DEI work. Our goal is to cultivate a setting for you and all members of your organization to FEEL, LEARN and ACT.

Dear Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Practitioners, We want to begin by acknowledging the weight of this moment. For many of us, the recent political shift feels deeply personal. The attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion—both explicit and insidious—are more than policy shifts; they challenge our values, our work, and, in many cases, our identities.

The Inclusion Allies Coalition Presents: "The High Stakes 2024 Election: Part III How Do We Respond as Individuals? Creating a Climate of Healthy Conflict and Curiosity" Join Inclusion Allies on November 21st at 4:30 pm ET/1:30 pm PT/6:30 pm ART/9:30 pm GMT Register in advance for this webinar https://lnkd.in/g58PdBfi You will receive an email from Andrea L. Cisco [email protected] with your registration confirmation and your individual Zoom link. Please add that link to your calendar. America has decided. The presidential election is over; the outcome is out of our control. But that also means, for many of us, our emotions may be out of control as we face an anti-DEI future. Our November webinar will have two parts – the first devoted to allowing us to share our feelings and the second to what we need to do as individuals because of the election. We have complete control over our choices moving forward. Helplessness, fear, and blame are not the answer. This will only expand the chasm of polarization. This is the time to show up collectively and move us, our teams, and our organizations toward continued progress, inclusion, and psychological safety. As we double down on protecting what we have built and challenge anti-DEI policies while continuing to move the work forward, we need to be prepared to engage in conversations across party lines and to have tough conversations with curiosity, empathy, and humility. Our facilitator, Farah Bala, PCC, CEO of THE FARSIGHT AGENCY, will help us do this. Whether you are a consultant or a team leader, this highly interactive and reflective session will explore: - why our capacity to engage in Healthy Conflict is essential in today's highly polarized times - the mindset needed to build our own resilience in disagreement and conflict - why our courage, curiosity and humility are our superpowers now. In small groups, we will practice dialogues around heated topics and engage in curated conversations in an activity that will push our current understanding of what it is to be curious. We look forward to being in the community with you as we face these challenging times.
Here's my take on how we heal our collective wounds as a nation, regardless of the outcome.
