Global Diversity Awareness Month is upon us and it’s time for celebration!

By:  Michele Hanson, CEO ExecuInsight

It’s time to celebrate our differences and the uniqueness each and every person brings to this World. It’s a time to remember that we are ONE and we are here on this Earth to positively contribute in some way. We each should have the opportunity to bring our whole selves to every element of our lives, to be at our best and help to make this World a better place.

It is important that we each do what we can to create a more inclusive World whether that is in your work place, in your community, in other communities or countries in need, or just in your own home. Taking action can be difficult. It can be just a small step like saying “hello” to a person that is of a different race or a person that may live very differently than you. Or, it can be as big as traveling to assist in rebuilding after a devastating volcano or hurricane event. Whatever you chose to do, whatever fits your work & life style, is what is best. There are no rule books except to remember that we are all human beings who have been placed on this planet to do the best that we can with what we are given.

If you need some ideas on what you can do to promote Diversity, Equity and Inclusion during the month of October and beyond, check out this Global Diversity Awareness Guide published by the Diversity Movement (Oct. 2021).

Let us know of the steps you are taking to promote inclusion in your World by posting your story to our ExecuInsight Facebook page or to our LinkedIn page. We will be interviewing and doing stories each week highlighting people who are taking small and large steps to unite all.
