1 Think of a time when you felt included in a work place or volunteer opportunity. What was it about this experience that made you feel included and valued? What, if anything, did the leadership of the organization, team, or experience do to increase your inclusion or sense of belonging? [if you cannot think of an example where you felt included, try to think of observing the inclusion of others on a work team or volunteer experience; if you’re still stumped, you can think about feelings of inclusion in another venue].
2. Think of a time when you felt excluded and/or not valued in a workplace or volunteer experience. What was it about this experience that led you to feel excluded and/or not valued? What, if anything, did leadership do to lead to not feeling valued? [same as above if you cannot think of an example where you felt excluded, try to think of observing the exclusion of others on a work team or volunteer experience; if you’re still stumped, you can
think about feelings of exclusion in another venue].
3. What are two things you think leaders need to know or do to increase inclusion and belonging at work. In your estimation, do you think inclusion is important in the workplace? Apart from goals like being nice or superficially good to do, why or why not?
