Week 6 Discussion: Continue the Discussion

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Professional Communication

This week, you will embark on a self-assessment journey focused on your skills as a professional communicator and how you as a future healthcare leader can promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). You will also explore how emotional intelligence impacts your interactions as a healthcare professional and Capella student.

Join us in the conversation! Here are some ideas to get you started. You can pick one of these, or post something else related:

• As a future healthcare leader, how do you view your role in promoting DEI while addressing microaggressions and unintentional bias within your team or healthcare organization?
• How do your skills as a professional communicator come into play in creating an inclusive environment?
• How does emotional intelligence impact your interactions as a healthcare professional and as a learner in a program like Capella?
• What outside resource (image, video, article, self-recording) best reflects your own experience with emotional intelligence? Share the link within your post. Why did you pick that item to share?
• What about this week’s content is relevant to your own professional or academic career?
