Diversity & Inclusion 3 Part Series

Diversity & Inclusion 3 Part Series

Presented by Kelly McDonald, Founder, McDonald Marketing

The U.S. population is increasingly diverse, and in some industries, the composition of the workforce is 70% minority. This shift in demographics is a permanent one and brings many changes to our society and our workforce. These changes also bring unique challenges to employers and workers as values sometimes differ between various cultures.

This series includes:

How to Be a Culturally-Ready, Culturally-Friendly Employer
This presentation will focus on how you can best reach and retain diverse workers by understanding varying levels of acculturation, differences in values, and how to increase productivity and retention among your diverse workforce. Length: 1 hour

How to Work With and Lead People Not Like You
This session will cover the many ways we can be different from one another and how those differences manifest themselves in work situations. It will show how employees can succeed in today's diverse workplace without losing their minds or becoming frustrated by approaches to work that may differ from theirs. For those in leadership positions, or those who aspire to manage and lead others, this session will identify key ways in which you can effectively communicate, guide, and lead associates and colleagues who are not like you. Length: 1 hour

How to Market and Sell to People Not Like You
Our marketing environment has become more complex, and consumers have become more sophisticated. Diversity marketing is the new norm, and this doesn't simply mean racial diversity. Diversity comes in many forms: gender, race, age, life stage, language preference, sexuality, and hobbies or special interests are all ways in which people's differences are recognized. By recognizing these differences and tailoring your product, message or marketing efforts to reflect consumers' uniqueness, you are validating the importance of a consumer group. Length: 1 hour

    Presented by Kelly McDonald, Founder, McDonald Marketing

    We all know that a diverse workforce leads to better decisions and solutions - it has been proven to grow business and profits.

    But when the person in the next cube or office is different from you, friction can arise. Different people may not see eye-to-eye on an issue. They may have vastly different approaches to work. Their communication styles may be very different. Cultural backgrounds and norms can differ. How do you work alongside someone who may be quite different from you, respect those differences and be effective in your role?

    And what about leading a diverse team? Leaders face daily the challenges of inspiring, communicating and executing strategy with their teams. How does one motivate and lead groups of people who come from different backgrounds? How do you do that when people are motivated by different values and view the world and work through different lenses?

    This session will cover the many ways we can be different from one another and how those differences manifest themselves in work situations. It will show how employees can succeed in today's diverse workplace without losing their minds or becoming frustrated by approaches to work that may differ from theirs. For those in leadership positions, or those who aspire to manage and lead others, this session will identify key ways in which you can effectively communicate, guide, and lead associates and colleagues who are not like you.

  • This third presentation in a 3 part series will discuss the complexity of diversity marketing and how recognizing differences and tailoring your product, message or marketing efforts to reflect consumers' uniqueness will validate the importance of that consumer group. Member Price: $99

    Presented by Kelly McDonald, Founder, McDonald Marketing

Diversity comes in many forms: gender, race, age, life stage, language preference, sexuality, and hobbies or special interests are all ways in which people's differences are recognized.

    By recognizing these differences and tailoring your product, message or marketing efforts to reflect consumers' uniqueness, you are validating the importance of a consumer group. It may be counterintuitive to focus on differences rather than similarities, but this can really stretch your marketing muscles and bring incremental results.

    • Learn the key emotional drivers for important target segments and how your business can leverage those in marketing messages.
