Outward Inclusion

Too many organizational efforts to address diversity and inclusion focus on behaviors alone. The marginalizing and discriminatory behaviors we are trying to address are behavioral manifestations of something deeper than behavior—mindset. For this reason, if we engage in change efforts that do not address mindset—nothing will change.

Arbinger’s Outward Inclusion workshop equips organizations with the tools to address the mindset and behaviors that get in the way of creating the culture your organization needs. Outward Inclusion guides participants through a process of self- discovery to help participants uncover bias and become equipped with practical tools to create an inclusive workplace that celebrates diversity and fosters real belonging. 

Outward Inclusion is a one-day workshop appropriate for employees at all levels of the organization.

Participants encounter powerful concepts, utilize illuminating asessments, learn how to use practical tools, and engage in transformational conversations that change the way they see themselves and those around them. The workshop also includes an introduction to application modules that provide practical tools to implement lasting change.

Participants receive access to the interactive digital Outward Inclusion workbook. This digital workbook includes the course videos, assessments, and tools as well as application modules and sustainment videos that help deepen learning and sustain ongoing implementation.
