5 Things / Managing Yourself
As an entrepreneur, I’m used to uncertainty – and sometimes the feeling that I’m hanging on for dear life, especially when so much is out of my control (especially anti-DEI). I’ve trained myself to look for the pivots and the opportunities. I’ve also learned to manage my mind and body because often, the only thing I can control is how I respond.
5 Things / Connection First
This week I met with a keynote client that found, when they issued return to office mandates last year, that productivity was higher when people worked remotely. As a result, they backtracked on the mandates and now the vast majority of employees work at home.
5 Things / Not DEI
I had a conversation this week with a very kind senior DEI leader who wanted to help me help the company. They gave me some words to say that they thought might help get buy-in from the boss. This person encouraged me to pitch our Inclusive 360 Assessment as an “organizational improvement methodology”, not DEI. Our future work together as “change management”, not DEI.
