Diversity is often associated with clear categories such as gender and race. And still, in workplaces that prioritize diversity, many of us still feel like we don’t belong. True diversity goes beyond these categories and encompasses acceptance of individuals for who they truly are. This means acknowledging and valuing introverts, individuals with unique perspectives, and those with different priorities. The feeling of being an outsider in a workplace is not always linked to gender, but rather can stem from feeling like everyone else in the room is an alpha type while you are not.
