Jul 14, 2018 | collaboration, Diversity & Inclusion
To think that diversity isn’t something special and important is like putting your head in the sand. What it means and how it impacts business success, continues to produce scientific, quantitative and qualitative results that prove it’s real and really important.
Diversity is like the building blocks of an organization. Inclusion is the glue that holds these blocks together. With the advance of technology, science, demographics, it is a wonderful structure that a workforce gets to continue building together as a high performing team of aligned leaders and individual contributors.
Diversity is what you can see. Someone’s race, cultural practices, gender, age, etc. It is also what you can’t see. What they believe, How they think. What they find fulfilling. How they want to be treated to do their best work. Diversity is a wonderful glorious fact of life, to be celebrated, respected, and protected.
“Diversity, it turns out, goes to the heart of how to do research and innovation effectively. In the scientific literature, it is clear that diversity speaks directly to the quality and effectiveness of teams.” Katherine W. Phillips. Scientific American

I met a new culture and it was alien to me. So much so that I thought of the Pod People (also known as Body Snatchers, a species of plant-like aliens featured in the 1955 novel The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney and the 1956 movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers). It was one that I wanted to understand and quite frankly couldn’t ignore. Maybe you’ve felt this way too.
So how bring a new culture into your comfort zone from your discomfort zone? My thoughts…Take it on like a new course that you are studying – the beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors of the people of that culture and how they interact together. Approach it with the curiosity and intensity of a researcher. Ask questions. Watch and learn. Read. Listen and observe. Notice the way the people dress, talk and use words…their music, commitments, fears, challenges, use of technology and any other aspect that drives them. Your new cultural awareness could be about a generation, gender, race, industry, or corporation… If you are feeling those in that culture are alien to you, that they are using different meanings behind the same words – learn and appreciate their words and ways.
And as you learn more, do more, and sincerely question, you will be creating a bridge of empathy between you and “the others”. Your understanding makes you a truly unique person.

Take a chance. Try out that new idea.
It was an awesome day to pivot to transformative leadership with joyful, vibrant, contributing women who are “paying it forward with intensity”. I “invented” a new way for women to connect, collaborate and be informed based on two models that inspired me. Yes, I was anxious since I’d never done this before. The vote is in. it worked! Truthfully, I am honored and delighted. 100% of the surveys said “Yes They would recommend attending the next Summit to others. When asked this question, here is what two of our guests said:
- A million times yes! Raw conversations with real solutions, networking, breaking through the imposter syndrome. All ages and races – diversity. REMINDER THAT I ‘M NOT ALONE! Biggest ‘aha’ moment of the Summit, “To realize that the thing I’m being told is a pain is truly an asset to my development. It’s fine-tuning how I use it for good not evil.
- (I) enjoyed the speakers and their diversity, the sub-groups and topics…(my aha was) that we are more alike than we are different. Every speaker was transparent.
Looking at this event “from a distance” here’s what I learned about taking a chance and trying out a new idea.
Just keep breathing!
- Have the end result you want in mind.
- Make it known – in public. Declare it.
- Ask for what you need, want, to bring it to life. You have a 50/50 chance of getting it.
- Let people know how important they are to you.
- Say what you care about. Don’t lose heart. Keep going.
- Trust that you are not alone in wanting to pass it forward with intensity.
- No matter what the result is, be happy. You did it!
I appreciate the AZ Diamondbacks, Heritage Center, ASU Center for the Study Race and Democracy, Jason’s Deli and Pauline Sandell who made sure we had more than enough food to eat, Co-facilitator Ilana Ruber Lowery, Photographer Elena Thornton, the best speakers ever Deborah Cox, Choo Tay, Anna Maria Maldonado, Angela M. Allen, Debbie Castaldo and Linda Walton. We love all of the guests who attended, in the first “two-part format” Positively Powerful Women’s Leadership Summit. (We are looking fierce with our D’back caps!)
