In today’s polarized climate, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) often become targets of misinformation and misunderstanding. This eye-opening webinar separates fact from fiction by addressing the most common myths that stall progress and spark resistance. Through real-world examples, data-driven insights, and human-centered storytelling, we’ll discuss the true purpose and measurable benefits of DEI: stronger teams, safer workplaces, better business outcomes, and a culture where everyone can thrive. This isn’t about shame or blame—it’s about truth-telling and opportunity. Join us to explore how DEI, when done well, isn’t divisive—it’s a strategy for unity, innovation, and long-term success.
