SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"When it comes to managing diversity issues, it becomes really important to think a little differently, because if you view the world differently, you show up in the world differently, which impacts how you behave and how you treat others. That's more than half the battle of getting diversity 'right' in the workplace. At the very least, you'll come a long way from doing it wrong."--Introduction.
