How do you stay committed to fostering diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility even when the political climate feels hostile? Join me as I sit down with Dr. Christopher Riddick, an authority on DEIA, who shares his compelling journey from management consulting to becoming a leading voice for inclusivity. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, Dr. Riddick reveals the intrinsic motivation that drives his work, despite the challenges. His reflections on creating a more equitable society are both inspiring and thought-provoking, offering valuable lessons for anyone passionate about breaking down barriers. Ever wondered what it takes to discover and embrace your true calling? I recount my own lifelong passion for equality, from high school advocacy to professional milestones. The pivotal year of 2020 led me from change management consulting into the heart of DEIA work, a transition fueled by personal hardships and crucial support from family—especially my mother. These experiences underscore the vital role equity plays in shaping opportunities, serving as a poignant reminder of why this journey is so important. Balancing a career while being present for your family is a challenge many face, and the pandemic has only amplified this struggle. Our conversation explores the significance of truly engaging with your children, not just being present. We delve into the transformative impact of remote work and the necessity of creating a welcoming home environment. By sharing personal stories and examining broader implications through the DEIA lens, this episode provides a comprehensive look at navigating work-life balance in today’s complex world.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
