🚀 Pushback against EDI is an opportunity, not a barrier 🌟 Resistance to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) efforts is often seen as a barrier, but Atif Choudhury, CEO and Co-Founder of Diversity and Ability, invites us to view it as an opportunity. In the third and final installment of a three-part series to mark #DisabilityHistoryMonth, Atif challenges us to embrace pushback as a moment for growth, learning, and fostering authentic connections. 💡 Key takeaways: Pushback often signals the need for better dialogue and collaboration. Listening to doubts can uncover meaningful paths forward. Effective EDI change requires creating safe spaces for productive disagreements and shared understanding, particularly around sensitive topics like privilege and identity. Adopting the proactive approach of an 'anticipatory welcome' allows us to create a baseline of inclusion. 🔗 Read the full article to explore how organisations can transform EDI challenges into stepping stones (link in comments below) #EDI #Leadership #Inclusion #DiversityMatters
