Tip #4  Reframing the Discussion Before Starting the Dialogue

Thank you for returning for the last in our series of Real Conversations from the C-Suite with Ms. Terri Wilson, founder and CEO of Doing HR Differently.  I hope you have found our journey in exploring ways to discuss hot topics without torching relationships to have been valuable.  When talking about reframing the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) discussion from difficult to different, here's the framework I like to use: Diversity is a fact, Equity is a choice, Inclusion is an action, and Belonging is the outcome. Each of these elements requires a distinct approach, and none of them happen by accident.  When engaging in these conversations, remember that the goal might not always be to reach agreement, but rather to raise awareness. Sometimes, it’s about planting seeds of thought that will grow over time. And don’t forget the work YOU need to do to ensure you’re achieving your discussion goals. Self-reflection is a powerful tool for navigating complex conversations.
