In Deloitte’s 2019 State of Inclusion survey, 92% of respondents agreed with the statement “I feel dedicated to supporting individuals of groups who are different from me.” However, despite being well-intentioned, a lot of people who think of themselves as allies engage in behaviors that can make coworkers from historically excluded groups feel uncomfortable, unseen, or unwelcome.

• What it means to be an ally 
• The importance of  “decentering yourself” and how to do so effectively
• How to have level 2 and 3 conversations that strengthen connection at a human level
