Inhaltsangabe
This book is a worthwhile investment in you, providing moments for you to reflect on how you can support a positive and holistic environment for all those you meet. The author, Cecilia B. Loving, deepens our awareness of the potential of diversity and inclusion by helping us realize that inclusion is not merely for those we seek to include but is also vital to our own healing. We spent a lot of energy in the last few decades focusing on the business case for diversity, but we have barely scratched the surface of the wellbeing case for inclusion. Diversity means nothing unless we welcome everyone with the tools and opportunities to succeed, value everyone’s participation, and provide everyone with the psychological safety of belonging. A genuine “welcome” does not force anyone to assimilate into our norm of what we believe they should be but appreciates their uniqueness. When we “value” others, we discern our own values and how they serve life’s greater purpose. Psychological safety, creating a “safe space” so that others can be their authentic selves without fear of judgment, also creates a safe space for us to be true to ourselves. With the fear, hopelessness, and emotional tax on everyone concerned about the violence, hatred, and sickness in the world, we all need to devote some time to self-care. The good news is that when we support the inclusion that makes the world a better place, we improve. Whatever we do to help others feel included also helps us.
