Self-Diversity:

In this session, Imme Gerke & Jacques Drolet turn the conventional definition of diversity upside down and shift the paradigm from diversity being a quality of groups to an individual characteristic that can be developed and honed. Known in German as “eigenvielfalt”, self-diversity is a personal journey of growth, catalyzed by the influence and integration of knowledge, experience, and interaction with others and the world around us.

Blending expertise in sociology, anthropology, and ethology, Imme and Jacques discuss how cultivating self-diversity enhances our ability to navigate ambiguity and complexity while thriving in today’s ever-changing world. More specifically, they share how this skill is a core practice for inclusive leaders in enhancing wellbeing and strengthening our relationships and teams.
