The Right IDEA: Doing Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility Right

“Diversity” and “inclusion” have become buzz words. They’re used in casual conversation by CEOs and world leaders alike. But how do you actually do diversity and inclusion right, in a way that isn’t performative, and has the intended impact?

Knowing that diversity and inclusion are important and knowing where to begin when developing an IDEA (inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility) program or strategy, are two different things. Many workplaces know that IDEA is both the right thing and the smart thing to do, but simply don’t know where to start. 

The Right IDEA: Doing Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility Right is an engaging and witty look at how organizations can get started on their IDEA journey. Based on his best-selling and award-winning book Birds of All Feathers: Doing Diversity and Inclusion Right, Michael presents his 6-step model on how an organization can start and stay on its IDEA journey.

What People Are Saying:

I was fortunate to have had an opportunity to hear Michael speak on diversity, inclusion, and equity while attending a national sports forum. These issues are so important for any workplace, business, or not-for-profit. When our organization decided we wanted to expand our understanding in these areas, we turned to Michael because I truly believe he’s one of the best in the country. Informative, engaging, and extremely personable, Michael was an exceptional facilitator, and our team gained a lot of important knowledge from our sessions with him.
