To the 25 witty yet inspiring stories in this collection, Robbins has added tips and suggestions for putting these key learnings into action, and questions and an exercise at the end of each chapter to help readers further explore each topic. Combined, What If? offers a powerful lens into the human experience.

Rating:  - Fantastic way to invoke those tough conversations
This book isn't of the typical academic nature that makes you groan about having to learn more about diversity and inclusion in a work environment.

Some concepts of the workplace aren't taught up front. "What If? Short Stories to Spark Diversity Dialogue" is a series of twenty six stories written to teach those in the workplace what they need to know to truly understand diversity and inclusionary concepts, and how to apply these principles in every day business. "What If?" should be considered essential reading for every manager, and is highly recommended for community library business collections.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I liked how Dr. Robbins shared personal stories then was able to dig deeper and compare it the work place. I was also fortunate enough to be in a book club with Dr. Robbins being the facilitator. He is certainly a dynamic speaker! Thanks!
