195 - Deconstructing the Meaning of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion with Meg Bolger

Meg Bolger is one of a few returning guests to this show, originally featured in episode 133 (’The conversation I wish I heard when I started facilitating’).Our conversation this time was a far cry from discussing what we wished we’d heard at the start of our careers. Instead, we focused on Meg’s area of expertise after 12+ years of development and practice: facilitating diversity, equity, and inclusion workshops and processes.We stripped things back to their basics in search of universal language, juggled with contradictions, and explored the wider aims and outcomes of committing to a DEI process.I learned a great deal in this episode and I hope you will, too!Find out about:Why language is holding back progress in the DEI spaceHow to bypass buzzwords and reach a place of unity and understandingHow to facilitate DEI processesHow to consider DEI in your facilitationWhy exclusivity can sometimes be used effectively to create inclusivityWhat to do when you feel friction or dissent against the workshop’s goalsDon’t miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.And download the free 1-page summary, so you can always have the key points of this episode to hand.LinksWatch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Meg’s wonderful Facilitator CardsEpisode 133 (Meg’s previous appearance on the show)Connect to Meg:On LinkedInOn TwitterSupport the Show.**Click here to navigate through all episodes via this interactive podcast map.**If you're inspired by our podcast and crave similar conversations, consider joining Dr Myriam Hadnes' NeverDoneBefore Facilitation Community. **If you're keen to master the art of facilitation, discover our expert-led live, online Facilitation Courses at the NDB Academy. **If you enjoy the show, consider a one-off donation and contribute to the ongoing costs of running the podcast.
