Topic: The Power of Inclusive Influence
In this episode, we tackle Perspective #2: Inclusive Influence—a leadership approach that goes far beyond representation.
✨ What is Inclusive Influence?
It’s the active shaping of culture and decision-making so that diverse voices are heard, valued, and integrated into the DNA of the business.
🔑 Why it matters:
Financially → Drives innovation, expands market reach, and reduces costly turnover
Operationally → Builds collaboration, strengthens problem-solving, and reduces friction
Organizationally → Creates belonging, boosts engagement, and positions your company as an employer of choice
When leaders embrace inclusive influence, DEI stops being performative and becomes a sustainable competitive advantage.
