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.

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.

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.

In her third book, “You Are More Than Magic: The Black and Brown Girls’ Guide to Finding Your Voice,” author and workplace equity consultant Minda Harts shares her insights and tools for finding the unique path to success with young readers (and adults). (Hint: Success isn’t magical, but Harts says girls already have all the tools they need to figure out their next best move!) Join us for a conversation about cultivating young allies and helping young people to advocate for themselves through healthy dialogue and courageous listening.
