Five Questions to Ask to Be a More Inclusive Leader is now live on Coursera as part of the Human-Centered Leadership Specialization.

Now more than ever, it’s critical we finally reconsider the term "inclusive leadership" as a soft skill. It's the values alignment and competitive edge that can determine whether your team reaches its full potential or leaves valuable perspectives on the table. Too often, leaders are handed values without tools. They're told to build belonging, to lead equitably, to make sure everyone has a seat at the table, then left to figure out what that actually looks like in practice during a Tuesday afternoon one-on-one.

This course draws on over 15 years of Viva Asmelash's work in people operations, inclusion strategy, and instructional design, distilling the topic into three focused modules built around a deceptively simple premise: better leadership starts with better questions.
