What's 5 Things? I discovered that there were a lot of inspirational actions being taken to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive world, but typical news stories focus more on negativity. I decided to begin sharing what I consider to be "good vibes" in a weekly newsletter to provide a little bit of hope -- to others, and to myself! 5 Things caught on quickly and now thousands of leaders around the world receive 5 Things and share them with their organizations, families, and friends. Each week a special guest and I discuss these 5 Things, right here, in just 15 Minutes, starting your week off with Good Vibes in DEI.
