    Episode 53 - Meet Keir Bradford Grey - Her Mother's Civil Rights Victory Shaped Her into a Civil Rights Powerhouse

    In this episode, I spoke with Attorney Keir Bradford-Grey. We talked on the Philadelphia morning radio show "Wake Up With WURD". We discussed changes afoot at the EEOC; specifically what it might mean if the EEOC does away with certain types of neutral data collection that shows subtle, even unconcious bias against historically disenfranchised groups. These are called "disparate impact" claims. For Keir, these disparate impact scenarios are more than just possiblities, they impacted her family. Listen in as Keir shares her own story about how disperate impact discrimination impacted her mother's work and the courage her mother had to fight back.

    This Bears Repeating - The Time to Talk about Workplace Abuse is Now

    On my August 5, 2025 podcast, I explained that I was inspired by a sign I saw in a bthroom stall. It encouraged people who had been bullied in the workplace to reach out to a phone number. I was intrigued by the posting since I was already discussing the topic through my training program at www.christelbesttraining.com. In that episode, I provided 3 key strategies for managers to avoid being a part of a workplace culture that allows bullying to persist.  I didn't know then that almost a year to the date later I'd be participating in the "Leverage Lab  - A National Convening" conference on August 28, 2026 in Washington, DC. At the Leverage Lab we'll educate, support, inspire, motivate and take tangible steps at stopping bullying and workplace abuse.   Today, I'm replaying that episode from one year ago. The subjuect and the timing align perfectly. Have a listen and then consider participating at the conference. Get your tickets to the Leverage Lab at www.fairpathproject.com/national-conference.
