In this episode, Ishreen introduces the groundbreaking DEIB 3.0 tool, designed to transform how organizations approach diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). Ishreen emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and personal beliefs in shaping an inclusive culture, encouraging listeners to share their insights with others to foster collective understanding. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The integral DEIB 3.0 tool emphasizes the importance of individual self-perception and beliefs about diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). Engaging in deep self-reflection is the first step toward fostering an inclusive culture.
• Sharing personal reflections with others is crucial for transforming individual perspectives into a collective understanding. This collaborative process allows for the evolution of beliefs and the creation of a shared reality.
• Integral thinking highlights that beliefs are interconnected and influence one another. Growth in DEIB is not linear but cyclical, requiring an understanding of past experiences while transcending them to create new insights.
• The tool acknowledges that not everyone is ready to engage with DEIB initiatives. It raises the need to recognize individuals or organizations that resist progress, emphasizing clarity over shaming.
• Unlike traditional approaches that focus on fixed goals and outcomes, the integral DEIB tool encourages organizations to create environments where positive changes can naturally emerge from collective action, fostering a culture of ongoing exploration and growth.

BEST MOMENTS

"This tool begins with you. It's designed to bring out your self-perception, your beliefs, your role, your expectations."

"The process of sharing is transformative. It's in the act of exchanging ideas that new beliefs and perspectives start to form."

"We need to consider that not everyone will come along for this journey."

"Imagine an organisation where everyone's role in DEIB is not defined by rigid policies or checkbox exercises, but by an ongoing collective journey of exploration and growth."

"If you're ready to take this leap, to not just talk about DEIB, but to live it, breathe it, and make it integral to everything you do, then this tool is for you."
