Leading Beyond Any Title: Leading through difference: Inclusion and belonging that connects and elevates
Inclusion isn’t an initiative, it’s a leadership skill. If you’re not leading inclusively, you’re leaving trust, performance, and innovation on the table.
In today’s workplaces, teams are more diverse than ever, across culture, generation, identity, and role. But diversity without connection creates friction, not progress. It’s the quality of your connection across difference that determines whether your team collaborates, or fractures.
This session is about the kind of leadership that works where it matters most – the people. Jennie and Craig will explore how inclusive leaders build bridges; not just between ideas, between people. You’ll learn how to notice who’s on the margins, how to lead with a sense of belonging, and how to create spaces where everyone can contribute fully.
As always, you’ll walk away with a big idea that will help reframe inclusion as connection, not compliance, two practical strategies to help you and at least Three reflection questions to challenge your lens.
Connection is the leadership advantage. Join us to learn how to use it.

SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
