DIVERSITY WITHOUT DIVISION

In our era of epidemic loneliness, tribalism, and noise, how can organizations ensure that every stakeholder feels a sense of belonging? 

The renowned Oxford scholar and internationally bestselling author Irshad Manji answers: by honoring both individuality and commonality. In short, by practicing “Diversity Without Division.”

Prof. Irshad Manji is the founder of Moral Courage® College, which equips people worldwide to turn contentious issues into constructive conversations and healthy teamwork. She reveals the research-backed, road-tested secrets to hearing others — and being heard by others — in times of awkward tension, high emotion, or deep division. 

Her uniquely unifying approach is shaking up the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion industry. And it’s valuable beyond work, healing disagreements between spouses, conflicts with children, or friendships under pressure thanks to cultural and technological manipulation.

Cohesion may seem like a lost cause, but with Irshad Manji as your guide, there’s more than hope. There’s a toolkit. In her signature interactive style, she will teach you and your teams how to:

•  Reduce anxiety when entering discussions that could become debates.
•  Build trust with people whose views dramatically differ from your own.
•  Ask questions that are sincere rather than judgmental.
•  Listen in a way that motivates the “other side” to hear you.
•  Deal with someone who doesn’t have these skills.
•  Leverage your skills to foster an environment that’s both inclusive and innovative at the same time.
