Full Q&A - Belonging and Dignity in the Workplace

In this session Marie Charlot, President, Leaders Choice, talks about her experience centering dignity for a Fortune 500 company.

Topic: Belonging and Dignity in the Workplace

As Victor Hugo said, “Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.” Dignity’s time is now.

Dignity is an internal state of peace that comes with the recognition and acceptance of the value and vulnerability of all living things.

Dignity is a birthright.

Dignity not only explains an aspect of what it means to be human, but also is a hallmark of our shared humanity. Everyone wants to be treated in a way that shows they matter.

We build belonging by honoring dignity. Through dignity we can foster belonging within ourselves and for people we are in relationship with.

Our guest, Marie Charlot, will share her experience centering dignity and belonging at a Fortune 500 company and helping them to more than double their sales. Her approach? Dignity and helping all people experience inclusion.
