Hello friends! Today, I’m joined by Erica Courdae, an entrepreneur, coach, and consultant who is dedicated to expanding how multicultural professionals, managers, lawyers, coaches, and creative small business owners interact with the world through the lens of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion.
This DEI conversation is a big one, which is why I want to get your wheels turning for how you can start leveraging your business and your platform to create more change no matter what phase of business you’re in.
As I mentioned in Episode 51: The Power of Money, which PS if you haven’t tuned in, definitely go have a listen as we talk about what’s really keeping you from stepping into more earning, but in that episode, I started sharing a few big shifts that have been happening over here at Wild & Holy headquarters (aka, my soul) these past 2 years, especially in regards to seeing the opportunity we have as business owners to leverage our platforms for more awareness and change.
If you’re new to me, first of all WELCOME! I’m so glad you’re here J But if you’re new, just to catch you up, I think it’s incredibly important that our businesses are an extension of our values and for the most part we might think of this concept in terms of what we choose to be vocal about, what we choose to take a stand on, what organizations we choose to publicly support and so on. And no doubt, those things are important. We have such massive opportunity to use our platforms to raise awareness for causes we care about and if you follow me on social, you know that’s a big way of how I continue to challenge myself to use mine, but today, I want to talk about some other ways you can also use your business to love the world forward because chances are, you’re probably overlooking some subtle shifts that can have a huge impact on:
- serving a more diverse audience,
- making your work accessible to more people,
- creating an inclusive workplace and company culture as you grow, and
- starting to tackle disparities that can help others level up – whether that’s directly through your business’s offerings or ways you choose to give back, create a movement, or put forth energy to create systemic change.
