Session Focus: Institutionalizing D&amp;I behaviors to foster a more inclusive culture


What commitment does your organization have for DE&amp;I (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion)?

The present (and future) reality of work requires organizations to rethink traditional ways for embedding DEI programs and tactics as we build inclusive leaders. The “how” is a different story. The “how” is more challenging, both in tactics and tools.

What does it mean to become a good ally for each other, our colleagues, and our community?

To help start the conversation, learn how each quarter, L&amp;D is rolling out learning tools for each of the four habits to build a Company of Allies at CNA Insurance:
<ol>
 	<li>Exploring different perspectives (How to I Connect Differently?)</li>

Unlock your potential and finally move forward.

A recent study showed that when doctors tell heart patients they will die if they don't change their habits, only one in seven will be able to follow through successfully. Desire and motivation aren't enough: even when it's literally a matter of life or death, the ability to change remains maddeningly elusive.

Given that the status quo is so potent, how can we change ourselves and our organizations?

In Immunity to Change, authors Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey show how our individual beliefs--along with the collective mindsets in our organizations--combine to create a natural but powerful immunity to change. By revealing how this mechanism holds us back, Kegan and Lahey give us the keys to unlock our potential and finally move forward. And by pinpointing and uprooting our own immunities to change, we can bring our organizations forward with us.

This persuasive and practical book, filled with hands-on diagnostics and compelling case studies, delivers the tools you need to overcome the forces of inertia and transform your life and your work.

Why is it so hard to make lasting changes in our companies, communities, and our own lives?

The primary obstacle is a conflict that's built into our brains, say, Chip and Dan Heath, authors of the critically acclaimed bestseller Made to Stick. Psychologists have discovered that our minds are ruled by two different systems - the rational mind and the emotional mind - that compete for control. The rational mind wants a great beach body; the emotional mind wants that Oreo cookie. The rational mind wants to change something at work; the emotional mind loves the comfort of the existing routine. This tension can doom a change effort, but change can come quickly if it is overcome.

In Switch, the Heaths show how everyday people - employees and managers, parents and nurses - have united both minds and, as a result, achieved dramatic results:

● The lowly medical interns who managed to defeat an entrenched, decades-old medical practice that was endangering patients
● The home-organizing guru who developed a simple technique for overcoming the dread of housekeeping
● The manager transformed a lackadaisical customer-support team into service zealots by removing a standard customer service tool.

In a compelling, story-driven narrative, the Heaths bring together decades of counterintuitive research in psychology, sociology, and other fields to shed new light on how we can effect transformative change. Switch shows that successful changes follow a pattern you can use to make the changes that matter to you, whether your interest is in changing the world or your waistline.

In Michael Bungay Stanier's The Coaching Habit, coaching becomes a regular, informal part of your day so managers and their teams can work less complicated and have more impact.
Based on years of experience training more than 10,000 busy managers around the globe in practical, everyday coaching skills, Bungay Stanier reveals how to unlock your people's potential. He unpacks seven essential coaching questions to demonstrate how--by saying less and asking more--you can develop coaching methods that produce excellent results.
<ul>
 	<li> Get straight to the point in any conversation with The Kickstart Question</li>
 	<li>Stay on track during any interaction with The Awe Question</li>
 	<li>Save hours of time for yourself with The Lazy Question and hours of time for others with The Strategic Question</li>
 	<li>Get to the heart of any interpersonal or external challenge with The Focus Question and The Foundation Question</li>
 	<li>Finally, ensure others find your coaching as beneficial as you do with The Learning Question</li>
</ul>
A fresh innovative take on the traditional how-to manual, the book combines insider information with research in neuroscience and behavioral economics and interactive training tools to turn practical advice into practiced habits.
