Joining our Healthcare Experience Matters show for the second time in as many weeks is Elisa Grace, the vice president of coaching here at the Healthcare Experience Foundation (HXF).
You can check out her podcast with us from last week “Coaching’s Measurable Impact On Improving Patient Experiences” here.
Elisa brings us insights on the power of embracing inclusion and belonging in healthcare while outlining the need for inclusive healthcare leadership and the challenges surrounding the language of DEI, the evolving terminology and brewing political debates, and the need to understand the historical context and evolution of language overall.
She drew from her personal experiences to highlight the impact of labels and the journey towards self-identification. Emphasizing the importance of dignity, respect, and equal opportunities, Elisa stressed the need for respecting differences while striving for inclusion, belonging, and equity.
The discussion also highlighted the leadership challenges in promoting cultural inclusion and emotional intelligence within today’s healthcare organizations.
Shaping Cultural Through Education
Elisa emphasized the need for leaders to unlearn outdated practices, acquire new skills, and champion a culture of continuous growth and development.
As this conversation wrapped up Elisa talked about the importance of investing time in training and education on these issues.
There is an exponential impact an educated and curious leader can have on shaping the organizational culture. If you are ready to learn more? You can earn your certificate in Foundations in Inclusive Leadership and embrace the power of inclusion.
