Three major themes emerged from their advice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<h4>1. Create space for listening.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaders must listen to others and create opportunity to hear all voices. \u201cBe prepared to listen, learn, and grow throughout this journey\u2013both within yourself as well as within your organization,\u201d said Melissa Obleada, Diversity and Inclusion Program Manager at HubSpot. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cass Averill, Global Program Manager of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Symantec, suggests creating change teams and a change council to shepherd in change and make opportunity for tough conversations. Cass also encourages collecting inclusive data to make sure no one is left out of the conversation.

Tell authentic stories.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether telling your own story or crafting a narrative for your organization, it\u2019s important to address where you\u2019re coming from and where you\u2019re headed while communicating <em>why<\/em> diversity and inclusion matter. \u201cLearn and tell your own diversity story. Each of us have sets of experiences and differences that make us who we are. Set the expectation in your organization that diversity is a core part of leading,\u201d said Danielle Vetter, Global Diversity and Inclusion Manager at Cummins. \u201cBegin by telling your own story of why diversity matters, how it has impacted your career, and where you need to spend more time learning about differences.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>3. Engage leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognize that everyone in an organization, not just executives, can take responsibility in leading change. \u201cRegardless of job title, each and every member of your organization has the opportunity to make your workplace more inclusive,&#8221; said Danielle. But you can especially call on executives to support diversity and inclusion initiatives and hold them accountable to reaching your vision. \u201cMeasure progress and hold leaders accountable for diversity and inclusion goals,\u201d says Ann M. Anaya, Chief Diversity Officer at 3M.<br><\/p>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You won\u2019t want to miss these additional insights from diversity and inclusion leaders:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><h5>Soha El-Sabaawi, Manager of Diversity and Inclusion at Riot Games<\/h5>\n&nbsp;\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sokareemie\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Follow Soha on Twitter @sokareemie<\/em><\/a><\/h5> &nbsp;\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPrepare for shifting goal posts; diversity and inclusion is a multi-faceted journey that shifts and evolves with society&#8217;s movements\u2026 Don&#8217;t be overwhelmed!

She works with many companies, including Gap, Google, and Hilton, on cross-border grantmaking, disaster recovery, employee engagement, and cause-related campaigns. She is the child of refugee immigrants from Latvia and sings ancient Latvian folk songs in a cappella group. Her kids are now adults, so she can often be seen cooing to babies who visit the GlobalGiving office.
