Presented by Kelly McDonald, Founder, McDonald Marketing
We all know that a diverse workforce leads to better decisions and solutions - it has been proven to grow business and profits.
But when the person in the next cube or office is different from you, friction can arise. Different people may not see eye-to-eye on an issue. They may have vastly different approaches to work. Their communication styles may be very different. Cultural backgrounds and norms can differ. How do you work alongside someone who may be quite different from you, respect those differences and be effective in your role?
And what about leading a diverse team? Leaders face daily the challenges of inspiring, communicating and executing strategy with their teams. How does one motivate and lead groups of people who come from different backgrounds? How do you do that when people are motivated by different values and view the world and work through different lenses?
This session will cover the many ways we can be different from one another and how those differences manifest themselves in work situations. It will show how employees can succeed in today's diverse workplace without losing their minds or becoming frustrated by approaches to work that may differ from theirs. For those in leadership positions, or those who aspire to manage and lead others, this session will identify key ways in which you can effectively communicate, guide, and lead associates and colleagues who are not like you.

Diversity & Inclusion 3 Part Webinar Series
presented by Kelly McDonald
The U.S. population is increasingly diverse, and in some industries, the composition of the workforce is 70% minority. This shift in demographics is a permanent one and brings many changes to our society and our workforce. These changes also bring unique challenges to employers and workers as values sometimes differ between various cultures. This series will discuss how to be a culturally-friendly employer and how employees can work with and market to people not like them.
