    This course covers a very important topic that top companies are conducting extensive research on: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). These concepts are integral to the Social aspect of ESG. I appreciate how this course's bibliography is heavily grounded in research, experiments, theories, and examples. It provides students with important articles, speeches, videos, and other materials to reinforce learning and prepare for exercises and activities. This demonstrates the importance of the course content. Regarding exercises, the course utilizes a third-party tool called Gamut to create a workbook of mandatory activities known as "Actions." These Actions are part of a collection named "your Action Plan Workbook." I found this structure to be well-organized and beneficial. The Actions are diverse and enhance overall performance, encouraging the creation of long-term and short-term goals based on the SMART framework for the work environment. However, this course is not without its flaws. In my opinion, there are several shortcomings that actually demotivated me and almost led me to quit. Although the course emphasizes the importance of cultural diversity, some lessons were delivered too quickly or rushed, as seen in the "Introduction to Measuring and Publishing DEI Metrics" and "The Diversity Bonus." This can be particularly impractical for non-English speakers. While materials are shared to serve as a foundation for completing the next Action Plan exercise, some materials are not directly related to these exercises. For instance, in the "Metrics of DEI work" section in Week 3 or the "Implication of Bias" section in Week 2. I recommend better filtering of these materials. There is also some redundant or repetitive information, especially concerning Bias, mostly in Week 2. Many materials repeat information throughout this section of the course. It would be beneficial to specify which parts to focus on in these materials. Additionally, some of the actions in the Action Plan Workbook assume that the student is CURRENTLY working as a leader while taking the course. However, not everyone might be taking the course solely for leadership purposes. Some participants may be employees or individuals INTERESTED in becoming leaders or simply learning about DEI or the impacts of diversity at work. Consequently, I found it challenging to complete the final Action Plan lessons for each week, as I did not have a clear view of what goals to achieve, given that I was not in a leadership position or employed at a company. The major demotivating factor for me was the length and monotony of some materials, particularly the articles. While they occasionally contained relevant content, reading through them felt repetitive and tedious. This information could have been more effectively summarized in a video lesson or similar format. Moreover, the course seems to prioritize reading or watching materials over providing proper video lessons, giving the impression that the course organizers did not put much effort into preparing engaging lessons and instead opted to provide a plethora of reading materials.

    This course has excellent content, intelligent instructional design (good mix of media, challenging, but not overwhelming, weekly assignments), and provides real-world tools to further the learner’s DEI journey. The instructor is easy to understand and knows her information inside and out. I got a lot out of taking this course which will be put into practice ASAP.

    This was a very comprehensive course with everything needed to gain a robust understanding of Leading Diverse Teams and Organizations. I compared this to several other similar courses both on Coursera and through other MOOC's and this stands out among the rest. The Instructor did an excellent job of bringing all the concepts together with relevance .

    There was so much great content. It really helped provide more in depth knowledge around the value and importance of DEI, how to work on our internal bias along with recognizing external bias, how to advocate and be an ally, best practices for leading a diverse and inclusive team, and great strategies for creating change within our own organization.
