5 Things / Doubling Down

Listen to this episode:



When people ask me if we’re going backward [about DEI], I say we’re only moving forward. We’re doubling down.”

Wise words from a white male executive whose employer (my client) is based in a very conservative area, in a very conservative industry. I’m finding myself in a lot of similar conversations recently, speaking to leaders committed to systemic change…so much so that I’m co-hosting a LinkedIn Live on this very topic on Tuesday.

Join Julie Kratz, founder of Next Pivot Point, and I for an upbeat conversation “Alive and Well: A DEI Double Feature.” Despite what the headlines say, I’m as optimistic as ever. I hope you’ll join us as we discuss why!
