When we feel "belongingness," we experience not only connection and acceptance, but we feel that we are part of something bigger than ourselves. The DEIB: It Begins With Us series provides concepts of belonging and othering, focusing on how we can foster more diverse and inclusive spaces for ourselves, our workplaces, and our communities.
At each session, Dr. Rebecca Baumgartner will present on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB), alternating fireside chats with interactive workshops. Although we encourage you to come each session, you can start at any time.
Join us every-other month to...
Begin the internal work of belonging and self-acceptance
Learn and implement inclusive leadership skills at home and at work
Identify the impacts of socialization on stereotypes and bias and ways to mitigate these
MARCH 10TH SESSION: YOU CAN CLEAR THE WAY TO WORKPLACE EQUITY
Last year, author Tara Jaye Frank wrote a book called The Waymakers: Clearing the Path to Workplace Equity with Competence and Confidence. The book is an insightful and straightforward look at how you, as individuals and leaders, are the most valuable tool in creating workplace equity.
Join Dr. Baumgartner as she explores the themes, steps, and insights from the book. No need to read the book to join, but it is definitely one to put on your TBR list!
Dr. Rebecca Baumgartner is the Vice President of Human Resources for the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce. As a champion for personal and professional wellbeing, Rebecca brings her extensive background in human resources, organizational development, and diversity, equity, and inclusion to help others strengthen their personal awareness and build new skills to more powerfully navigate their journey. She draws from skill sets such as emotional intelligence, positive psychology, resilience, and courageous leadership to support others in their goals to become more inclusive and more impactful leaders to themselves and others.
