The Four Freedoms of DEIB
Our primary holistic DEIB training is titled The Four Freedoms of DEIB. Each of the four freedoms helps individuals flourish at work. High-status group members often have more access to these freedoms (principles) than those in traditionally marginalized groups. This training will explain the four freedoms and give practical applications for leaders to foster an ecosystem where all realize these freedoms.
1. Freedom of Diversity: The freedom to embrace and celebrate the unique identities, backgrounds, and perspectives of individuals within an organization.
2. Freedom of Equity: The freedom to ensure fairness, equal opportunities, and treatment for all individuals, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or other characteristics.
3. Freedom of Inclusion: The freedom to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where all individuals feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their ideas and perspectives.
4. Freedom of Belonging: The freedom to foster a sense of belonging and community within an organization, where individuals feel accepted, supported, and connected to their colleagues and the broader community.
“We had the honor to work with Ryan to expound on our brand scope and to get laser-focused on our mission showing up clearly throughout our brand. He is a wealth of knowledge. Ryan can hear about a need or roadblock and quickly and succinctly help his client see a fuller picture. His insight was valuable to our process and helped us pivot aspects of our systems and team structure that were not serving us well. Additionally, it is rare to team with someone who is detailed and great with systems but also, a creative. His expertise lent both to our objectives. Ryan’s plethora of experience will add fresh perspective and expertise to your process.”
