Summary

“It’s virtually impossible to be successful in one’s work in any kind of group – be it a corporation， a deep-sea fishing crew， or a rock and roll band – without feeling a sense of belonging。 Most of us have had the experience of working where we didn’t really fit in， and sure， we can pull in that paycheck for a while， make do， hang in there， but how long do those jobs ever last， especially if we want to be honest with ourselves or have a healthy work-life balance？ It’s easy to say， 'No job is ever perfect。 You’re not supposed to like it; that’s why they call it work！' But why settle for barely adequate productivity， creativity， or new hire return on investment when you can harness the synergy of belonging？ Leaders and aspiring leaders who want to succeed should look to Rhodes Perry for inspiration and guidance。 Belonging at Work really does matter” - Jamison Green， Ph。D。， Author， Educator， Community Leader， and Corporate Executive

“Rhodes Perry is an invaluable and important voice on our emerging understanding of what makes truly great workplace cultures: the ability for all of us to bring our full selves to work。 He clearly lays out what gets in the way of this， particularly for those who are underrepresented， and historically undervalued， both from a personal lens of his LGBTQ experience， and on behalf of so many other lost and marginalized voices。 Make no mistake， organizations and their bottom lines suffer from unexplored exclusionary practices。

Book？ Great！ 5/5Audiobook？ Not so much。 2/5There were multiple times were things "in the print version of this book" were mentioned， and it wasn't until the VERY end that it mentioned you could get the worksheets and see the figures on Rhodes' website with a password mentioned in the book。 I would have appreciated at least an attempted description of the figures， to make sure I'm getting all I can out of the book。 Overall？ 3。5/5， but I rounded up because I think the content is better than the do Book？ Great！ 5/5Audiobook？ Not so much。 2/5There were multiple times were things "in the print version of this book" were mentioned， and it wasn't until the VERY end that it mentioned you could get the worksheets and see the figures on Rhodes' website with a password mentioned in the book。 I would have appreciated at least an attempted description of the figures， to make sure I'm getting all I can out of the book。 Overall？ 3。5/5， but I rounded up because I think the content is better than the downsides of the audiobook 。。。more

Diversify Your ThinkingAs our nation struggles through the throes of racially based violence and discussions， all of us should look to understand other points of view beyond our own。 Grappling with topics like critical race theory， racism and inclusion can be uncomfortable and challenging。 This book will provide insights and exercises that will challenge your assumptions and help you think about the environment we live and work in。 You don’t have to agree with the author to try and understand th Diversify Your ThinkingAs our nation struggles through the throes of racially based violence and discussions， all of us should look to understand other points of view beyond our own。 Grappling with topics like critical race theory， racism and inclusion can be uncomfortable and challenging。 This book will provide insights and exercises that will challenge your assumptions and help you think about the environment we live and work in。 You don’t have to agree with the author to try and understand their perspective， and I would encourage anyone responsible for a diverse workplace to read the book in an attempt to better understand these issues。 An important read。 。。。more

I found this book to be pretty surface level （DEI 101） at the beginning， but thought the action steps in the last couple of chapters were very helpful。 DEI work can be tough to wrap your head around especially when it comes to the specific steps to take， and Perry breaks it down in an easy to understand way。

I really enjoyed this book。 It was very informative and provided well-written definitions of various terminology。 It has actionable items and sets you up with the structure needed to begin working on creating and fostering DEI at your company， regardless of your role。

Inspirational Book Discussing Diversity， Equity and Inclusivity It is very well written and I highly recommend to anyone who is in interested in making a positive impact。 Many need this leadership style to be common place in many organizations。 It takes patience， empathy， perseverance and continues effort to learn and improve the understanding the most sustainable ways to instill a sense of belonging。

Amazon recommended this one， and I was about to lose Kindle credit， so。。。here we are。Reading a book on diversity and inclusion from a writer who shares my background was novel experience for me。 He did a good job presenting the topic of belonging， which is a more nebulous and hard to pin-down concept。 That said， I very much wish he had used the more standard EDI rather than DEI to talk about equity， diversity， and inclusion。I liked that each chapter included a written assignment， although I only Amazon recommended this one， and I was about to lose Kindle credit， so。。。here we are。Reading a book on diversity and inclusion from a writer who shares my background was novel experience for me。 He did a good job presenting the topic of belonging， which is a more nebulous and hard to pin-down concept。 That said， I very much wish he had used the more standard EDI rather than DEI to talk about equity， diversity， and inclusion。I liked that each chapter included a written assignment， although I only found a few of them useful。I work for a government agency （public library）， so applying A LOT of this isn't a possibility for me。 This is a common failing of EDI books。 How does one make the business case for diversity when working for something that isn't a business？？ Somebody needs to answer that。That said， the book is more practical than philosophical。 Most readers， I believe， would get something out this， especially those looking for EDI issues that impact the queer community。 That's a particular strength with this book vs others on the topic。 The glossary is helpful， but has some weird omissions （AFAB， but not AMAB？）。Overall， it is a good book with a refreshing perspective and a lot of basic info on EDI （DEI） topics， but it has limitations and will not standalone as the only guide a person would need on this topic。 Still， surprisingly good for something bought as an e-book on a whim。 。。。more

Rhodes brings humanity to the trite canon of "business case for diversity" literature。 The research was digestible and really situated the inherent human need for belonging and purpose as a driver for inclusion at work。 The exercises at the end are perfect for anyone new to diversity and inclusion fields as they personalize concepts like intersectionality， microaggressions， inclusion and help readers arrive at clear action steps no matter their organizational role。 I do think chapter 3 and secti Rhodes brings humanity to the trite canon of "business case for diversity" literature。 The research was digestible and really situated the inherent human need for belonging and purpose as a driver for inclusion at work。 The exercises at the end are perfect for anyone new to diversity and inclusion fields as they personalize concepts like intersectionality， microaggressions， inclusion and help readers arrive at clear action steps no matter their organizational role。 I do think chapter 3 and section II became a bit repetitive conceptually。 。。。more

A lot of good information for a Diversity & Inclusion practitioner。 Great resources。

Núria Aloy ，

A core message in this book is that anyone at the workplace， regardless of their role， is in a position to exercise inclusive leadership and contribute to the creation of a more diverse， inclusive and equitable environment。 People will thrive at work only when they've got a sense of belonging and purpose。 A great introduction to how DEI plays out at work， with base terminology and practical advice for creating psychological safety， surfacing unconscious bias， and championing DEI。 A core message in this book is that anyone at the workplace， regardless of their role， is in a position to exercise inclusive leadership and contribute to the creation of a more diverse， inclusive and equitable environment。 People will thrive at work only when they've got a sense of belonging and purpose。 A great introduction to how DEI plays out at work， with base terminology and practical advice for creating psychological safety， surfacing unconscious bias， and championing DEI。 。。。more
