How to become an ally & equitable leader
Main objective:
To welcome conversations around inclusive allyship and equitable leaders, create a safe space to clarify any statements which individuals may be cautious on making and define methods to become champions of diversity and inclusion
Learning outcomes:
- The team will **discover** what it means to be an ally and how they can become more equitable leaders within the workplace and for the larger community.
- There will be **education** around the practical and theoretical definitions of allyship, leadership and equity, as well as learning the traits of performative vs active allyship.
- We will work together to build a DEI action plan, where team members will pledge their next steps towards creating equitable structures. The team will leave with clear actions to **implement** an environment to encourage belonging and create impact through inclusive behaviour and language.
