Unity through Diversity & Inclusion: It Begins with All of Us

What happens to our brains when we’re rejected in social situations or made to feel less than? Surprisingly, the neuroscience behind these reactions is similar to that of our early ancestors but their survival was at stake. Most of the threats that our brains now face involve inclusion (or lack of) in our workplace. In this talk, we will address diversity and inclusion, with a focus on inclusivity and the neuroscience behind it. Attendees should come away knowing that belonging is a global need, and that inclusion is more than being nice; It’s believing the experiences of others and supporting and validating those experiences.
