    Inclusion, Empathy, and Kindness, with Jessica Ellis-Wilson

    What if the power to change the world starts with small, intentional acts of kindness—and the courage to uplift those whose voices are pushed to the margins? I’m sharing my conversation with the dynamic Jessica Ellis-Wilson—a passionate leader and community connector with nearly three decades of experience creating inclusive spaces in healthcare, the arts, and beyond. From her early work in the mid-90s developing safe space trainings for queer students during a time of crisis, to leading health centers for HIV/AIDS patients and launching a radically inclusive theater company, Jessica has dedicated her life to lifting up those who rarely stand in the spotlight. Her mission? To leave every place, person, or situation just a little better than she found it—and to empower organizational leaders to do the same. 🌟 In This Episode, We Dive Into:  ✅ The real-life impact of allyship and advocacy in times of adversity  ✅ How Jessica pioneered anti-bias and DEI work long before it was mainstream  ✅ The interconnectedness of privilege, power, and opportunity in our everyday lives  ✅ Why organizational culture must put people first—and how that leads to measurable business success  ✅ Practical, heartfelt ways to nurture community, connection, and belonging (from everyday kindness to systemic change)  ✅ Letting go of perfectionism and embracing imperfect, authentic action—even when you don’t have all the answers Jessica’s story is a testament to the ripple effect of compassion and the quiet power of consistent, behind-the-scenes leadership. Whether you’re a business owner, community member, or just someone wishing to make a difference, her wisdom will inspire you to do one small thing—today—that might just change the world for someone else. ✨ Ready to feel empowered, connected, and seen? This episode will help you reconnect to your purpose and remind you: the seeds you plant today become tomorrow’s harvest of hope. 📌 Connect with Jessica Ellis-Wilson and Practical Management & Leadership Consulting:  Website   Facebook LinkedIn → Mention "Women Finding Clarity" when reaching out to Jess for consulting or leadership coaching services and receive 30% off current rates!
