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 with four leadership belief systems and associated emotional responses to DEI.

Discover:

  • Real life stories to help deepen your understanding of why leaders find DEI so hard
  • Self-insight from the accompanying diagnostic tool to help you assess and better connect with your current leadership perspective
  • Practical tools and activities to help expand your thinking, with specific actions to be more inclusive

Nadia Nagamootoo is a Chartered Psychologist, accredited coach, MBA and Founder of Avenir, a DEI consultancy. Through her multiple keynotes and popular podcast show, Why Care?, Nadia has become a profound thought leader in DEI, guiding organizations on an accelerated path to creating inclusion and belonging.

Industry Reviews

A thought provoking offering that is well written, highly personal and engaging at every turn of the page...Nadia's greatest secret is her use of story telling. Leveraging this skill, she provides example after example..to provide an engaging narrative to illustrate her points, and making the book a great read...This book is a timely reminder we need to do more as leaders, coaches and colleagues to create workplaces where everyone is not only included, but places where everyone can thrive. - Jonathan Passmore, Henley Business School Professor, LinkedIn

I cannot recommend this book highly enough for anyone in a leadership role, and for those who coach and work with leaders on their development. - Dr Hayley Lewis, Chartered Coaching Psychologist, LinkedIn

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
