In this latest episode, we dive deep into the challenges and changes happening in the corporate world regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Key Takeaways from the episode: 1️⃣ Different Tactics for Different Situations: As advocates for DEI, it's essential to develop a diverse set of skills and approaches. Direct communication, questioning, reasoning, or even demanding may be needed based on the context. Remember, different situations require different tactics! 2️⃣ Mindful Communication is Key: How we communicate our ideas and opinions matters. It's vital to be aware of our language and approach to gain support and have a positive impact. Avoid aggression or alienating others. Let's nurture a space for constructive dialogue. 3️⃣ Patience and Persistence: Building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture is not an overnight job. It requires ongoing effort, resources, and conversations. We must be patient and persistent, even when faced with short-term expectations. Let's advocate for long-lasting change.
