Diversity Conversations challenges readers to manage their personal beliefs and biases, recognize the legitimacy of opposing perspectives, and find common ground. This book encourages personal growth through examining the conversations we have on diversity with ourselves, those who are like us and those who are different. A balance of real-life experiences, useful research, and practical tips are presented that enable readers to become more thoughtful when facing diversity conflicts. John E. Pepper retired Chairman and CEO of The Procter & Gamble Co. and Retired Chairman of The Walt Disney Company said the following: "This is an honest book, loaded with learnings and insights expressed in real-world terms. It will be a rare reader who leaves this book without being more aware of his or her own beliefs and better able to appreciate those of others and, as a result, being able to live a more satisfying life."
