    Deconstructing DEI with Lily Zheng

    Diversity, Equity & Inclusion strategist, consultant, and author Lily Zheng reminds us that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are outcomes, not intentions. They return to the podcast to brainstorm how to turn our good intentions into action, impact, and measurable outcomes that benefit everyone, especially marginalized groups disadvantaged and disenfranchised by our current systems. In this episode, we discuss identity at work, the expectations of employers and senior leaders – and what each of us can do to impact DEI outcomes.

    Lily Zheng on DEI without the performative fluff

    Companies purport to care about DEI, but when it comes to their commitments on racial equity and gender parity, they often come up short. In their new book, “DEI Deconstructed: Your No-Nonsense Guide to Doing the Work and Doing it Right,” Diversity, Equity & Inclusion strategist and consultant Lily Zheng claims that organizations have been naive in their approach to DEI and discusses the need to center on desired outcomes and accountability to drive real change. Join us for a no-nonsense look at DEI and how to become an effective DEI changemaker. Resources: Lily Zheng’s website: www.lilyzheng.co Lily’s books: https://lilyzheng.co/home/books/

    Minda Harts on the Importance of Trust

    Why return to normal when we can (and should) go for better? Workplace equity consultant and author Minda Harts returns to the podcast to talk about why we can’t rebuild a better workplace if we’re not anchoring everything in trust. And why transparency is a must. Companies and leaders often talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion, but it’s not always demonstrated in ways that are most beneficial to the people in their organizations. Don’t miss this important conversation about pay transparency, stipends for ERG work, and getting back to the core value of trust. Resources: Minda Harts: www.mindaharts.com

    What is a male ally with Jeanette Thebeau

    The number of women advancing in leadership roles isn’t changing. One reason is that a key part of the equation is often missing – men. Many corporate gender initiatives focus on changing women – how to gain confidence, take a seat at the table, negotiate for themselves, and be heard. While these skills are important the underlying structural issues thwarting women’s advancement remain. Building a culture of respect and equal opportunity is not a cause for women to champion alone. Men still dominate leadership roles, control decision-making, and significantly out-earn women. In order to achieve sustainable change and create a culture in which both women and men can excel, men must be a part of the conversation and stand as allies for women. Jeanette Thebeau, Chief Acceleration Officer, of Integrating Women Leaders Foundation, discusses the first nationally-focused study to measure the perceived practice of allyship to women in Corporate America today. Join us for this timely conversation. Resources: IWL: https://www.iwlfoundation.org/ IWL Allyship-In-Action Study: https://www.iwlfoundation.org/allyship-in-action-research-study

    Benchmarking allyship in action with Jeannette Thebeau

    Most men don’t know that their behavior is less than ideal or supportive of their women co-workers. Understanding what allyship is and living it is foundational to establishing equitable workplaces for women and other marginalized or underrepresented groups in organizations today. Jeanette Thebeau, Chief Acceleration Officer, Integrating Women Leaders Foundation, discusses the first nationally-focused study to measure the perceived practice of allyship to women in Corporate America today. Take this opportunity to learn more about proactive and reactive actions that are at the heart of allyship.
