Extended discussions of common problems
faced by managers, supervisors, leaders, and teams.
The papers are formatted for easy reading on your computer screen – and – yes – even on your mobile device. With the exception of the Glossary, they’re all presented in landscape layout instead of the typical portait orientation, they’re equally suited to printing (if you must!) since they use a sidebar-plus-main-content structure.
Enjoy!
A glossary of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging terms
Confused about what people mean when they talk about cisgendered? Wondering what the + means in LGBQTIA+?
And more.
So was I. And I realized that if I was confused, others might be too. So I built a glossary. And it grew. And grew. There are still plenty of things missing, and I’m sure it’s not just incomplete, but also occasionally inaccurate.
Still, I hope it will help you do better, understand more, and communicate more clearly.

It takes discipline, but it doesn’t take much time.
“I’ve used the Reflective Review process for the last three weeks, and while it does take discipline to work through the questions, it has truly helped keep me grounded and much more objective and aware of myself inside my new job.”
