Fireside chat facilitated by Kendall Farmer
In a context of "bringing one's whole self to work", DEI professionals and managers increasingly face the challenge of providing meaningful support to employees from marginalized communities without overstepping professional boundaries. In this panel discussion, we delve into the art of striking that delicate balance of how to uplift and stand by people without shouldering the weight of being their personal therapist.
Key outcomes:
* explore practical strategies to create an inclusive environment, and uphold emotional well-being, while respecting the limits of your role
* gain tools to build trusting relationships, foster open communication, and connect on a human level
