Speaker:  Jenny Williams, GE

Topic: Belonging > Diversity + Inclusion

I will share a 20 page, 40 minute spark style talk (storytelling fashion) that illustrates how the key to attraction, development and retention of diversity (all forms) is rooted in whether or not the talent feels like they belong in the team and organization. This story chronicles one person’s experience with finding belonging. Following the presentation, I will lead the group in a dialogue on best practice sharing related to how to create belonging.

Presentation Learning Objectives:

• Diversity is a fact, Inclusion is a choice
• Creating an inclusive environment of belonging requires trust
• Belonging is necessary to attract, retain and develop diverse talent and diversity of thought
