S2E25: From Emmy to Inclusion : SVP, NBCU News Group, Yvette Miley Lead With Your Brand!™
-
- Careers
We’re still celebrating Pride On Brand for LGBTQ+ Pride Month! This week, Jayzen is excited to welcome Yvette Miley to the show. Yvette is the SVP of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for the NBCU News Group. Her responsibilities include recruiting and retention, training and development, employee engagement, strategic partnerships, and editorial initiatives across all four networks.
She has worked for NBCUniversal for 27 years and is the recipient of many of the industry’s highest honors. She received three Emmy Awards, including an Emmy for the MSNBC and NBC News coverage of the Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage in 2016 and ten Edward R. Murrow Awards, among many others.
In celebration of Pride Month, the Lead With Your Brand Podcast has partnered with Out & Equal Workplace Advocates, the premier organization working exclusively on LGBTQ workplace equality. Each week in the month of June, we’ll be featuring an out leader each with an amazing career story to share. In addition, I’ll be hosting two special roundtable episodes where we’ll explore issues around the trans experience and intersectionality of race and LGBTQ+ in the workplace. Out & Equal will be providing discussion guides for shows, so we encourage you to use the podcast as a virtual “book club” with your ERG or group of friends. Listen to the episodes and schedule your group discussion with the discussion guide as part of your own pride programming. Check out https://www.leadwithyourbrand.com/pride for more information and to hear some of our favorite shows from Season 1 and 2 that also feature LGBTQ+ leaders
Happy Pride!
