The River of Life: Exploring your Why is a reflective journey designed to help you connect with the personal experiences that have shaped your passion for diversity, equity and inclusion. Before you can effectively lead inclusive change, it’s vital to understand the roots of your own motivations, values, and leadership identity.
Using the metaphor of a river, you will map key moments from your life – from birth to present – that have influenced your worldview. This may include significant relationships, identity-defining moments, barriers you’ve faced, or privileges you’ve held based on your social or cultural characteristics. These experiences are the currents that have carried you to this point and continue to influence your approach to leadership.
Why this matters:
Authentic DEI leadership begins with self-awareness. Understanding your own story helps you lead with empathy, humility and clarity. It also prepares you to connect more meaningfully with others’ stories, challenge inequities with conviction, and build trust within diverse teams and communities.
Please bring your reflections from this module to the first live webinar.
