This is Inclusion Begins with Me: Conversations That Matter. I’m your host, Dr. Cindy Pace, Vice President and Global Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer at MetLife.

From our communication style, to the way we connect with colleagues and lead teams, inclusion impacts our everyday lives. How do we practice inclusive behavior, and make ourselves better humans in the workplace?

We’ve always believed that it starts with a conversation.

Imagine a world that celebrates difference, is free from bias, and full of diversity. That’s the world International Women’s Day is trying to build with the themes such as Inspire Inclusion and Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress. All of the guests on our show are helping to push us toward that inspiring world. In this episode (recorded on International Women’s Day) we go Beyond the Conversations we had with 3 of the most inspiring women I know.
