Ep 101: What is Conscious Inclusion?, with Juan Cortés

On this episode of THRIVE — sponsored by Workamajig — Kelly and Juan Cortés discuss how creative and technology agency owners typically think about diversity and inclusion as it relates to attracting and retaining team members, but there are many other opportunities for us to create conscious inclusion.

Juan Cortés and I cover these points and more:

• How we can educate ourselves about those around us who are different than us;
• What we mean when we say “conscious inclusion”;
• Larger ethical and business reasons to consider focusing on conscious inclusion;
• Ways that smaller agencies can still create ERGs that work for their company;
• Impacts of conscious leadership in AI and machine learning.

Be sure to tune in to all the episodes of THRIVE to get practical tips on becoming a conscious leader, growing your agency, and more. Thanks for listening, and I’d love to hear your takeaways!
