In this show we explore how to develop your leadership and capacity to advance DEI in your organization, build human-centric workplace culture, and make an impact. We use our expanded definition of DEI, DEI-LABB for: diversity, equity, inclusion, liberation, anti-racism, belonging, and being/well-being. If you ever worry about saying or doing something that could unintentionally cause harm or feel frustrated with the slow pace of change, you are in the right place.
