Belonging and being valued are basic human needs. Inclusive leadership helps meet these two critical needs and improves performance, collaboration, attendance, and reduces turnover. This life skill is helpful for everyone, yet it is essential to create cultures, schools, teams, and organizations that produce equitable outcomes for historically marginalized and minority populations. This talk explores a four-part, iterative, reflective, and reflexive framework for developing into an inclusive leader. Consider this a green light to sharpen a work lens and essential practices that center diversity, equity, access, inclusion, and justice. Dr. Meagan Pollock envisions a world where personal and social circumstances are not barriers to realizing potential, and where kindness, inclusivity, and conservation prevail. As an engineer turned diversity, equity, and inclusion educator, Meagan focuses on creating equity in education and the workplace. Her company, Engineer Inclusion, helps people intentionally and systematically bring equity and inclusion into their organizations: achieving positive outcomes and effectively supporting employees and the community. As an international speaker, teacher, engineer, and equity leader, her mission is to provide services, tools, and resources that raise awareness and spark action. This talk was delivered at a TEDx event in the TED conference format, but was independently organized by a local community. For more information, visit https://www.ted.com/tedx
