Building your skills as an inclusive leader is more important than ever. Over the past few years, we have been living through significant shifts in our societal, social, and cultural contexts. The landscape will continue to change requiring leaders to work within much more diverse environments, from cultural diversity to generational diversity, as well as diverse ways of knowing and being. This shifting landscape needs leaders willing to become more aware of how their socialization, positionality and worldview has influenced or created biases and blindspots in their approach to leadership. Challenging our biases and being open to exposing our blindspots will truly allow us to grow and create the inclusive cultures our workplaces and staff need to thrive.
In this Masterclass, we will focus on worldview and how it is one of the influencers of biases, especially unconscious ones. A worldview is defined as a collection of values, attitudes, beliefs, and expectations that inform thoughts and actions. Your worldview is a big component of what shapes your reality. As a leader, you bring your worldview into your organization – often shaping your organization according to your worldview. If other worldviews are not welcome, we can impact our organizational ability to problem-solve, be creative and more importantly engage our staff and create a sense of belonging.
Giving yourself the time and space to explore your worldview and make conscious this (often) unconscious driving force in our organizational life can help you take one big step towards shifting and creating change towards a powerful new orientation that is inclusive and welcoming.
What you will experience in this Masterclass:
- Insight on what is worldview and how it may be getting in the way of your leadership
- Clarity on the responsibilities for creating space for diverse worldviews
- Engaging conversation on how to address challenges to our worldview
- Connection with a community of inspiring leaders.
For this discussion we have invited IRG Associate Coach, Shailoo Bedi as our guest for a conversation about becoming aware of our worldview, how having diverse worldviews and lived experiences allow for more connection, belonging, better problem-solving, and creativity in our team and organizational cultures.
Shailoo will bring her in-depth knowledge of how to explore your worldview and how to become aware of it maybe getting in your way of creating inclusive teams where diverse worldviews and lived experiences are welcome and belong. She will provide an overview of what is worldview, what it is not, and how all members of a team have a shared responsibility for being open to diverse ways of seeing the world and our own positions in it.
