Overview

Module 1 - Assess Yourself: Which of the 5 inclusive strategies would work in your lab/on your team?

Many scientists with mentoring/managing responsibilities have the best of intentions, but lack clarity about which specific decisions and actions result in their diverse team feeling a sense of belonging and invested in the overall success of the lab. In this session, you will learn a framework to benchmark which decisions, behaviors and actions define what it means to be inclusive as a mentor & manager. Secondly, we will outline the 5 overarching strategies that most inclusive efforts and best practices map to. Finally, you will practice applying these principles to your own work life, by intentionally designing inclusivity into a common work responsibility (a 1:1 or lab meeting).
