Mary-Frances Winters
Founder and President of the Winters Group Inc.
Inclusive Conversations encourages effective dialogue across different dimensions of diversity, such as race, gender, age, religion, or sexual orientation, which fosters a sense of belonging and inclusion, and in turn leads to greater productivity, performance, and innovation. Whether in the workplace, faith communities, or educational settings, our differences can tear us apart rather than bring us together if we do not know how to communicate. Recognizing our collective responsibility to earnestly address our differences and increase understanding and empathy will not only enhance organizational goals but will also lead to a healthier, kinder, and more compassionate world.
