Developing Inclusive Leaders - Exploring Invisible Diversity

In workshops designed to help leaders develop skills around inclusion I have been using information about the invisible diversity inside the room. 

Especially for groups of leaders from the same organisation / function / department it can be a real eye-opener to see just how much diversity there is among their peers. 

A pre-workshop survey, interactive voting or physical movement in response to questions can all work well in capturing and presenting real data back to the group. 

The debates triggered around issues like attitudes to work/life or conflict management are very powerful.

I've shared some of the materials used on Slideshare.
