Founders know that incorporating practices of diversity, equity and inclusion is an integral step of building their companies. But knowing that something is important is different than putting it into practice. In our Fall LIVE@LIFT series “Building and Growing Inclusive Teams,” we want to enable founders by diving deep into three areas: Pipeline & Hiring, Managing & Community, and Company Culture. In each session, we will share tactical tips from experts that you can put into practice at your companies.

Leaders of a startup must make deliberate efforts to create an inclusive workplace that values, protects, and creates opportunity for all of its employees. In managing diverse teams, you are responsible for bringing together people of different backgrounds and experience levels and creating a safe, productive environment in which they can accomplish shared goals. In the second session of our series, we will be joined by Rashaad Lambert, Director of Culture & Community at Forbes, Chris Anderson, Director of Learning & Love at Guru, and Alicia Agnew, People Operations Manager at Guru.
