"Inclusion is not bringing people into what already exists, it is making a new space, a better space for everyone."—George Dei

Many of us strive for an inclusive space, some of us actively and others in an aspirational sense.

These advances in creating psychological safety come with an emotional toll that can erode the very connections this work fosters. Kathryn Fraser, PhD and Jeff Ring, PhD are two psychologists who have partnered, sparred, and emerged wiser as a result of their decades long work together in behavioral science and DEI. In this webinar, hey explore strategies to embrace and manage the emotional toll, soul draining experiences, and joyful rewards of DEI work.
