C-SUITE PERSPECTIVES

Inclusion: Embracing Our Differences

10 OCTOBER 2022

Author Ruth Rathblott sits down with Steve Odland to discuss the importance of incorporating disability into conversations around DEI.

“Disability doesn't discriminate. You can be any race, you can be any age, you can be any gender. You can be born with a disability or acquire it at some point in your life…So disability needs to come back into the conversation for it to feel truly inclusive.”

In this episode, author Ruth Rathblott sits down with The Conference Board President and CEO Steve Odland to discuss the importance of incorporating disability into conversations around Inclusion.

  • How do we expand the conversation around diversity to be fully inclusive?
  • What drives people to hide their disabilities?
  • We are taught as children not to talk about disability. How can we overcome that deeply ingrained message?
  • Why is it important to welcome discussion about our differences?
  • What mistakes do companies make around inclusion in the workplace?
