What if creating an inclusive environment wasn't as hard as it seems?
In this episode, Dr. Helen Fagan explores the profound impact of “lightbulb moments” in inclusion work with Dr. Karen Kassebaum, Global Inclusion Lead at Hudl. Together, they discuss building a culture of inclusion through self-directed accountability and practical principles. Karen reflects on how small but intentional actions can spark meaningful change within organizations and beyond.
