DEI work is more important than ever. We need to stay focused on the right things. #DEI, #Inclusion

Free Dialogue Across Difference Workshop At VisionSpring, our focus remains clear: helping organizations cultivate cultures where every voice matters, where all employees can do their best work, and where innovation drives organizational success. That is what DEI is all about. What it has always been all about. Not about filling quotas, hiring people based on race, or discriminating against anyone. ALL means ALL – including white men. That being said, the waters have been muddied and people raise legitimate concerns on both sides of the debate. As we move through 2025, building the skills to engage positively across differences has never been more critical. From navigating political divides and cultural differences to bridging generational gaps and improving communication, having the right tools is essential for success. As part of this commitment, we’re invested in building a robust community of like-minded individuals who can support and guide one another.

For the month of January, we are sharing tips from our Dialogue Across Difference Workshop. This week’s powerful tip: Find Common Ground When dialoguing across difference, the focus should be on deepening our understanding of other points of views and other life experiences - to find common ground not necessarily to reach consensus. #findcommonground, #dialogue, #DEI

Finding ways to connect and understand one another has never been more important and at VisionSpring, we remain committed to helping organizations cultivate cultures where every voice matters. That is why we’re excited to share our FREE 60-minute Dialogue Across Difference: Finding Common Ground exercise, a preview of our comprehensive Dialogue Across Difference Workshop.

For the month of January, we will be sharing tips from our Dialogue Across Difference Workshop. Here is this week’s powerful tip: Focus on Dialogue over Debate. Dialogue, unlike debate, is about reaching understanding – not about abandoning your viewpoint or that one position is right or wrong.  Dialogue is a collaborative exploration of knowledge and experience where we actively listen and grow together.  #dialogueacrossdifference, #belonging,
