The importance of voice in diversity and inclusion
Why is it that individuals who are different struggle to find their voice in organizations? What is the role of voice in our own well being and the wellbeing of the organizations in which you live and work? Voices are what allow us to create civil society. Voices are what allow us to create successful organizations. Voices are what allow us to create effective government. The problem, of course, with all of those things, is we have broken governments - broken civil societies - and broken organizations. Is there a systemic silencing of voices that often occurs within various organizational contexts? How can you and your organization begin to listen to less dominant and more marginalized voice?
