Start by looking around you. Make an honest assessment of your touchpoints with different types of people. Are there people at the table who are different from you? Are you staying in your comfort zone or pursuing diversity in your interactions?

Try it. Make an active effort to connect with a more diverse range of people both personally and at work. Think who else might have value to add to your meeting and invite them. Ask questions that encourage real answers. Share your own vulnerabilities to create a welcoming environment for others to do the same. The proof will be in the pudding and you’ll get a new perspective on old or new challenges.
