When Steve Long-Nguyen Robbins was growing up, his mother routinely told him, "Long, you walk on a path cleared by others, so it is your responsibility to clear the path for others." Her insightful guidance and self-sacrificing example are the forces that drive Robbins's corporate work around diversity and inclusion today.

His goal is unwavering: to clear the path for others and recruit more "path makers" - to honor his mother and to make a better world for everyone. In What If?, Robbins provides twenty-six inspiring, lively, and sometimes deeply personal stories illustrating diversity and inclusion concepts. He offers insight and practical advice on how to reconcile unity with diversity and reframe our organizations for competitive advantages. He adds tips and suggestions for putting keylearning into action in your organization, ending each chapter with questions, an activity, and an assignment to inspire you to be more open-minded and inclusive and to discover how the ideas presented in the book might apply to your daily life at work and at home.

Steve L Robbins is founder of S.L. Robbins & Associates, a consultancy specializing in diversity, inclusion, cultural competency, and myriad other issues increasingly affecting organizations in a global world and marketplace. Born in Vietnam, he immigrated to the United States with his mother during a time of heightened anti-Vietnamese sentiment and rose through the challenging circumstances of poverty and discrimination to receive a BA with honors from Calvin College and MA and PhD degrees from Michigan State University. Robbins works with for-profit and not-for-profit organizations of all sizes, drawing on his compelling life journey to bring insightful perspectives on the power of caring and inclusion, and a keen understanding of the human condition. He is highly sought-after as a keynote speaker and has worked with organizations including Toyota, Microsoft, PepsiCo, Boeing, NASA, the NSA, General Mills, and Pfizer.
