5 Things / Everybody In
This week the U.S. Congress passed a significant and transformative climate bill that President Biden is expected to sign. Among many other things, the law will provide many incentives for shifts to clean energy, including rebates for car buyers.
5 Things / The Awakening of the 4-Day Work Week
A coordinated and formal pilot 4-day workweek campaign has been launched in the UK. Other countries such as Ireland and New Zealand are piloting this as well. The number of U.S.-based companies adopting 4-day workweeks is also increasing.
5 Things / an inclusive future
This week is Transgender Awareness Week and today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, which honors the lives lost to violence. I'm a better human for having great transgender friends and team members in my life. Not because they're trans, but because they're just wonderful people beyond that tiny detail of their identity.
5 Things / community
This week my friend Rhodes Perry invited me to join in conversation with his Belonging Membership Community. Rhodes is a fellow DEI consultant who's built an incredible community of DEI practitioners (internal and external) who learn together, share with each other, and uplift one another. It was wonderful to spend an hour with that community, and a reminder for me that this work cannot be done alone. Changing the world can sometimes feel lonely.
