As in all fields of study, the field of diversity management continues to evolve,  with "cultural competency" at its core.   While diversity management was once thought of as simply being aware of differences of race and ethnicity, we now know that it is much more, with the term" cultural competency"  covering a far broader span of areas such as gender and generational differences, and religious and cultural beliefs and customs, just to name a few.  As our society becomes much more multi-cultural and our organizations progressively more global in scope, it  becomes more and more apparent  that this skill is vital for  today's leaders
 
Join us tonight as Lisa Pasbjerg, executive coach and CEO of Focused Coaching, LLC interviews  William Appleton, President of Kairos Consulting.  and  a CDP (Certified Diversity Professional.)
 
 Prior to founding Kairos, Bill worked as an Organizational Effectiveness Consultant at the Cleveland Clinic, where he served as team lead for the design and facilitation for a system-wide (40,000 +) cultural change initiative and acted a resource for more than a dozen facilities and hundreds of leaders, designed and delivered numerous courses  for the Center for Leadership and Learning and developed the organization's diversity councils throughout the system.
 
A true leader in this field, Bill will share with us his deep expertise on this critical competency required for any progressive business or organization, including, the first steps that you and your organization should be taking immediately in order to stay abreast of this important requirement  for our evolving workplaces.
