'An excellent, example-rich and immediately practical book which will no doubt stay close to hand and dog-eared with use for years to come.' Dr Pippa Grange Psychologist and Author of Fear Less

Talk to anyone about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and it sparks a whole range of emotions. Why? Because DEI, at its very core, is about values and beliefs, and it's about change. So it is no surprise then, that despite putting in place a DEI strategy and multiple initiatives, so many organizations get stuck.

Beyond Discomfort reveals a new model of inclusive leadership, which describes four belief systems and associated emotional responses to DEI.

Discover:

• real life stories and expert insights to deepen your understanding of why DEI is so knotty and complex;
• self-understanding and new perspectives to better connect with your learned leadership values and beliefs;
• reflective questions, practical tools and activities to help develop your inclusive practice.

Reviews

A compelling read for those seeking to excel in diverse social landscapes and move beyond traditional social structures. - Elena Amber, bestselling author of The Gift of Sensitivity

In an industry and space that is constantly facing backlash, this book will serve as a benchmark for many other DEI practitioners, and leaders, to help us all drive true change, and feel less alone! - Amazon 5*

A fresh and thought-provoking approach to inclusive leadership offering a clear and pragmatic 'Way of Being' framework grounded in psychological theories. It is inspiring as well as practical. - Amazon 5*

Consciously inclusive leaders understand that internal, organisational structures cannot help but be influenced by the wider world and systemic imprinting of what is regarded as "normal". It takes courage to break through norms which lead to some people being marginalised, ignored and/or mistreated. Are you willing to better understand and lean into the discomfort of inclusive leadership? Then I'd certainly recommend Beyond Discomfort - Jiten Patel, Conscious Inclusion Thought Leader, LinkedIn
