What if our automatic assumptions are causing a more divided society? In this talk, Justin Jones-Fosu shares practical ways to challenge our assumptions and encourage meaningful connections with others. Learn how to communicate better, learn from others, and make diversity/inclusion an everyday reality. A reality where we will not be defined by our divisiveness but rather by the deliberate depth of our relationships! It's time to stop taking the exit on people and drive toward a better humanity. Justin Jones-Fosu challenges people to see diversity and inclusion as someone they choose to be rather than something they are supposed to do. He is a full-time dad-e of two high-energy kids and a highly sought-after business consultant, social entrepreneur, and diversity/inclusion researcher. He is the founder and CEO of Work. Meaningful., where they partner with companies, organizations, and associations in the US and internationally to embrace meaningful work and diversity/inclusion. His latest book, "The Inclusive Mindset: How to cultivate diversity in your everyday life," encourages people to see diversity/inclusion not as a mandate but rather as an everyday mindset. Justin embraces his heritage as a dual-citizen of both Ghana and the US, and you can usually catch Justin wearing something from his Ghanaian heritage.
