Fear is holding us back. This book will empower the reader to overcome their fears and build the courage to talk

This book will address bias head on, recognising that we cannot completely eliminate bias as it is intricately woven into the way our human brain functions, but we can certainly make efforts to become more aware of our biases, work hard to block them and most importantly minimise its impact on our organisations and the people working in them. This book aims to provide leaders with the skills and tools needed to lead through this bias. The chapters of the book - Leading with conviction, Leading with clarity, Leading with accountability, Leading with allyship and Leading with strength - focus on the five essential skills needed to block bias to nurture diversity, equity and inclusion at work.

What can I do? It's a question that often prevents us from doing anything at all. What can we say or do? How can we nurture inclusive relationships with our colleagues or create an environment that values diversity beyond a set of numbers and quotas? It can be tempting to treat diversity, equity and inclusion as an issue for others to deal with, but whether you are the most junior team member or the most senior executive, inclusion means all, not some. Each one of us has a role to play in nurturing inclusive workplaces. In The Art of Active Allyship, Dr. Poornima Luthra gives us the answers to the question - what can I do. Through 7 identified behaviours, Dr. Luthra gives us the tools we need to take the first steps towards inclusive workplaces. With concrete solutions and real-life examples, she paints a picture of active allyship, one which encourages us to show up everyday as an active ally not to some, but all.

Is your workplace truly diverse? In this gem amongst diversity, equity and inclusion books, Dr. Poornima Luthra challenges us to address the inequality in the 21st Century that exists by expanding the dimensions of diversity in the workplace we address; to define diversity in the workplace in a way that truly represents our whole diverse selves. When you think of diversity, what comes to mind? Gender? Ethnicity? Age? Sexual orientation? How about physical abilities or neurodiversity? What about educational background, experiences, personality, beliefs, socio-economic background, ways of working or parenthood choices? These are all dimensions of diversity that make up our diversity thumbprint. The questions we need to be asking ourselves are: are we embracing this level of diversity and inclusion in the workplace? how do we make this a reality? and what does this inclusion in action look like? This book contains everything you need to develop a solid understanding of the various dimensions of diversity and the biases that arise from them. Poornima provides us with the tools needed to address our biases, have inclusive conversations and be an active ally of inclusion. Whether you are an individual employee, team manager, or CEO, Diversifying Diversity is your guide to active allyship in the workplace.If you are wondering what this inclusion in action looks like, case studies from Maersk Tankers, Carlsberg Group, IKEA Retail, Telia Company, Be My Eyes, Project Access International, Stack Recruitment, and Kromann Reumert provide inspiration, and a blueprint for inclusion in the workplace is included.Dr. Poornima Luthra is the founder and CEO of TalentED Consultancy ApS, a TEDx Speaker and external Faculty at the Copenhagen Business School.
