It really just starts with a conversation. As a team, what could we all do to make sure that we create that environment where you don’t feel like you have to work hard to fit in, or where you feel like you can speak up and share your ideas? Because we really want that diversity of perspectives to lead to better decision making. It helps us all be better.

Diversity is everywhere, even when you can’t see it – introverts versus extroverts, different communication styles – [Be] conscious of… different kinds of diversity… It starts in so many other places, so be conscious about that when you’re facilitating a discussion, when you’re running a meeting, when you’re just interacting with another individual.
