What happens when your commitment to inclusion is tested? In this interactive session, you’ll step into a leadership scenario where equity efforts are facing resistance, whether it’s subtle discomfort, overt backlash, or behind-the-scenes disengagement.

• How to lead when inclusion efforts are questioned or politicised

• Navigating pushback tied to intersectional identities, including race, gender and culture

• Building support without polarising the room

• Tools to hold steady, keep people engaged, and model inclusive leadership under pressure
