THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
“Should be required reading for diversity & inclusion professionals”
“I just completed the book this morning. It is a treasure trove of information and delivers that information is a highly readable fashion. Examples offered to illustrate the more complex concepts and the research referenced demonstrate to the reader not only the work put into creating the book, but also convey the authors' passion for the topic. I think the book should be required reading for anyone doing work in the Diversity & Inclusion space or curious about this important subject!”
“ Lots of provocative insights”
“A fascinating and revealing book that nicely balances scholarship and practical application. Nearly every page provided me with new insights. The book has significantly altered the way that I look at the topic of intergroup and interpersonal relations.”

CREATE MORE INCLUSIVE LEADERS!
Highly skilled inclusive leaders are paramount in driving organizational change and improved DEI outcomes and results. Come join this session to learn how SAIF Corporation developed a new approach to DEI leadership development by creating an Inclusive Leadership Certification (ILC) as a requirement for all leaders. The ILC focuses on building inclusive leadership skills that are centered in the BrainStates Awareness Profile paired with the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI).
Learn how the organization set leadership competencies based on these skills and measured outcomes – notably a direct correlation to level of engagement of employees and leaders who sustain higher BrainStates.
Leveraging the neuroscience of inclusion in leadership education is helping SAIF’s leaders understand the risks associated with unconscious bias, prejudice, and lack of psychological safety. Understanding the power of BrainStates and their influence on whether employees feel valued, safe and engaged is one the greatest opportunities explore for organizations. When leaders spend a greater part of their time in higher BrainStates and in turn are open to cultural difference, they create safe, thriving places for employees to do their best work.
