Inclusive Language: Driving a Culture of Belonging
Inclusive language is the daily practice of intentional word selection that conveys respect to all people. By choosing inclusive language, we acknowledge and honor the diverse and intersectional identities of every person, making them feel valued and inviting them to contribute their best.
Yet, inclusive language might not come naturally, even for people who value diversity. It takes practice, and it takes humility. This course will help you become more intentional with your language and begin to create environments where people feel valued and respected.
In this course, we share best practices for inclusive language, including: • Why inclusive language matters • How to speak up • Guidelines for inclusive language • Alternatives to more than 100 common non-inclusive words and phrases
who is this course for?
This course is designed for anyone who wants to become more inclusive in their daily communication.

The inclusive language course was terrific! We had an energetic and open team discussion following completion of the course, and it has been a topic of conversation at the company ever since. In a short period of time, it has made a tangible difference in the language we use as a company and has been a great learning experience for all involved.
