Can diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives truly be both a moral imperative and a financial boon for businesses?

Join us in a compelling conversation with Paolo Gaudiano, a former aerospace engineer turned DEI advocate, as he unravels the intricacies of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Despite his conventional background as a white, cisgender, heterosexual male, Paolo offers a transformative perspective on how leveraging privilege can bridge cultural gaps and foster a more inclusive workplace. Discover why DEI efforts face resistance and how they can be reshaped to yield both ethical and financial rewards.  

Memorable Quotes:
  1. "Inclusion is what you do, diversity is what you get, equity is what you want."
  2. "If we can convince leaders that they can make more money by treating people better, then I think there is a chance to do that."  

Key Points:
  • Paolo Gaudiano's unconventional journey from aerospace engineering to DEI advocacy.
  • The significance of using privilege responsibly to foster change.
  • Understanding and addressing resistance to DEI initiatives.
  • The business case for equity and how inclusivity enhances financial performance.
  • The importance of focusing on inclusion over diversity metrics.
