"Last year, I was tasked by my organization's CEO to present a training on diversity and inclusion in the workplace to our senior-level management team. I was asked to put this together on pretty short notice. To start the process, I discussed with our CEO to understand his goal for the training. Knowing that he wanted to help build awareness among the leadership staff on the benefits of a diverse and inclusive workforce, I was able to pull some great materials and information and put together a great presentation for our senior leaders. I presented the information at a monthly meeting that the group had and was given 30 minutes. Knowing that the information would generate great discussion, I planned my presentation for 20 minutes, and the open time at the end was left open for the group of 12 people to discuss questions and thoughts. While I was initially nervous about doing this with the team, it ended up working out great and my CEO was very happy with the results. I would say the most challenging piece was tailoring my presentation to a leadership level, where they could take information and disperse it among their staff."
