Inclusion often seems like a lofty concept, but what does it actually mean to be inclusive, and how can we embody this in our daily lives? The answer lies in practicing intentional inclusion—actively making choices to ensure everyone feels respected, valued, and heard.

Intentional inclusion is not just the responsibility of HR departments; it’s something we can all contribute to, every day. Whether at work, in our communities, or in our personal relationships, we can play a role in creating environments where everyone feels welcome. Small gestures, like inviting a quiet colleague to share their thoughts in a meeting or making an effort to include a neighbor at community events, can have a profound impact.

When we practice intentional inclusion, we not only enrich our own lives but also foster creativity, connection, and belonging in our communities. Each of us has the power to contribute to a culture of inclusion, and it starts with the small, everyday choices we make. So, let’s ask ourselves: Who is missing from the conversation, and how can we bring them in?
