Our Differences Strengthen Us
We welcome, embrace, and celebrate all the different ways of being. When we bring our full selves, each of us benefits from the unique experiences of others by having our ideas challenged and our perceptions elevated. We believe that cultivating Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity takes intentional action. We are unapologetically anti-racism, pro-LGBTQ+, pro-feminism, anti-ableism, and anti-ageism. This means we, as WBO, take a stand and will continue to push the boundaries of “business as usual.” Anything short of this would be inconsistent with our values and a disservice to those who came before us. For each of us to show up as our authentic selves, it requires safety and trust. We are committed to creating that safe space for you to connect, share, collaborate, and experiment in your business. We are not always going to get it right. But as business leaders and as humans, we have a responsibility to do the work, learn from being uncomfortable, and use what we have to amplify voices other than our own. There is a place for you here. |
