Answer: The little things, subliminal messages we don’t talk about but that profoundly affect performance and morale.

Question: What are Micro-inequities?

Question: What are Micro-affirmations?
Answer: Small, subtle signals we send to other people through our words or behavior that cause them to feel encouraged, appreciated, valued, and supported.

The “little things” are behaviors we all use, intentionally and unintentionally. They can make our organizations highly productive or erode their power, innovation and productivity. Designed by a pioneer in the field of diversity and inclusion, Little Things Mean A Lot™ shows how the ways we value and devalue our colleagues impact our workplace and its effectiveness.

This program combines a compelling business case with practical strategies individuals, teams and leaders can use to counter micro-inequities while building high performance work environments.
