Can We Bring Joy to Doing the Work of DEIB Transformation_
August 29, 2021
S2:E5: Can We Bring Joy to Doing the Work of DEIB Transformation?
Whether it is a systemic pattern of failing to promote people on the basis of their group identity, or an inequitable distribution of services or resources in segregated communities that result in economic violence, or a pattern of brutality that leaves specific communities living in fear of those in authority, pain is usually at the root of the situations that compel institutions to initiate DEIB programs.
Focusing exclusively on pain can be exhausting and undermine commitments to sustained effort. Is there room for balance? How can one insert joy into work that is often so rooted in sorrow?
My guest this week is Kate “Sassy” Sassoon. Sassy has spent over 20 years turning her passion for efficiency, effectiveness, and equity into a thriving consultancy offering facilitation, training, and organizational design to social enterprise organizations.
She develops inclusive collaboration frameworks, energetic dialog spaces, and authentic connections. Her work is known for being joyous, empowering, and deeply caring. She brings all that energy and a lifetime of experience with co-ops to the role of Director of Cooperative Membership at Zebra’s Unite Co-op.
She holds 2 degrees from UC Berkeley - one in art and one in science, and approaches the world (and the work) with one foot firmly in each. She delights in deep questions, unexpected connections, and doing well by doing good.
Please join us this week to talk with Sassy about how to sustain positive energy and joy in the face of trauma and pain. We invite you to Come Abide Here. Come Hungry/Leave Transformed.

Can Your Organization Change and Stay the Same_
Have you ever heard of the glass cliff? One of the biggest obstacles against achieving true DEIB in your organization is the expectation that things can change without actually being different.
In this installment of our series on resistance to change, we examine the ways that individuals and organizations resist change by trying to keep things the same while going through the motions of change. We use the glass cliff as an example of how this dynamic works and we also identify the one crucial element that must be present for true, substantive, transformative organizational change to happen.

How to Recognize and Avoid Resistance to Change in Your Organization's Policies
August 15, 2021
Just Tea Sundays Episode 3:
How to Recognize and Avoid Resistance to Change in your Organization’s Policies
How is it that a law intended to protect citizens became a tool that allows police officers who use force that is excessive in the opinion of conventional wisdom to be legally absolved of brutality?
There are many ways by which an organization can use its policies to resist DEIB change - even unconsciously.
In this episode I continue my series on unconscious resistance to DEIB change by looking at how even the best policies with the best intentions can be derailed by one specific area of unconscious bias: Whom your policies center.
On today’s show I will talk about why more policies are usually not the answer and I will share the one policy-mindset shift that can neutralize attempts to co-opt your DEIB policies and revolutionize the way your policies function.
I invite you to Come Abide Here. Come Hungry/Leave Transformed.
