October Weekly Activities for your Team!
ECA Chicago is proud to continue our partnership with Leadership Surge to create inclusive work environments in which all people feel as though they belong.  In September, Leadership Surge’s Alex Willis discussed ways to build trust and respect in our work environments and overcome bias.  In October, Alex is exploring overcoming judgment and broadening your window of tolerance. 
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion October Mini-Activities

The DEI Weekly Activities are for Company Employees to do on their own or with their team at work. They can be done in small group meetings, as a Tool Box talk, or simply when it best fits your Company's schedule. They typically only take a few minutes, and will help further the discussion from the Webinar held each quarter.
