Regardless of your current level in any organization (traditional student, adult learner, intern, entry-level, employee, manager, or leader), you will soon experience a changing workforce that will become majority minority as early as the year 2030 according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Dr. Eileen Taylor offers a unique model of mindfulness and inclusion as a pathway toward workforce unity.
Diversity of Perspectives is a purpose driven student engagement tool. The model helps students reflect upon personal diversity brought to class on day one; learn about the differences and similarities of others; and make informed decisions about how personal behavioral choices in an increasingly diverse world contribute to intended results.
At the very beginning of the model, students are introduced to a reflection lens for learning. The lens will provide students with the necessary foundation needed to guide them through the model. As students continue to progress through the text, they are encouraged to keep it in mind during discussions, assignments, and presentations. Diversity of Perspectives also becomes common language used by students when connecting theory to practical application.
Students learn that the ability to communicate with others who have individual values, assumptions, beliefs, and expectations that may or may not be different from their own is crucial in the ever-growing global market. The vision and mission of an organization is not different for some employees. It is the intended purpose for which all are employed. Diversity exists in the workplace beyond federal protected classifications of race, gender, ethnicity, color of skin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, etc. Individual values, assumptions, beliefs, and expectations also exist and contribute to organizational results. The ability to effectively communicate that diversity is personal, global, and a behavioral choice that directly connects to delivering products and services to customers is added value to any organization.

Dr. Eileen Taylor is a Lecturer of Communication at Butler University, College of Communication, Department of Communication and Media Studies. Her research and expertise in organizational leadership communication with a focus on change and diversity of perspectives is complimented with a Bachelor of Science in Management, MBA, Master of Advanced Leadership Studies, and Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership. Dr. Taylor is a First Generation student who was the first in her family to attend and graduate from college. She earned the credentials from Indiana Wesleyan University as an adult learner. At a young 45 years of age, Dr. Taylor officially retired as a federal government career professional with 27 years and 7 months of business administration experience that included both human resources and financial management.
Dr. Taylor believes the essence of leadership is communication. She teaches organizational communication, financial management, introduction to human resources management, principles of marketing, leadership and communication, communication ethics, speech for business, and public speaking at the college level.
Dr. Taylor’s professional philosophy is partially rooted in opportunities to live throughout the United States and Europe as a military dependent. At the time, a 5-year residency in Europe was pivotal in preparing Dr. Taylor to embrace the 21st century of globalization where technology continues to transform the method and scope of communication. This inclusive mindset has been the cornerstone of her personal authenticity and work ethic throughout the years. It has helped Dr. Taylor positively influence others in profit and not-for-profit organizations. As a leader and researcher, she inspires others to strengthen their personal foundation of individual values, assumptions, beliefs, and expectations that add value to any organization. The ability to also learn about and understand others who may be different from you is a crucial skill in an ever-growing global market.
Organizations benefit from Dr. Taylor's ability to demonstrate theories and practical experiences while she serves as Guest Lecturer, Keynote Speaker, and Professional Trainer. Dr. Taylor's positive leadership perspective may help organizations overcome challenges that become future success stories.
