Diversity and Confusion

Diversity and Confusion

Is our current discussion and hyperfocus on ’diversity and inclusion’ a REAL indication that change is happening in corporate America? Does the feminism movement belong in the workplace? Are African Americans in leadership roles as the token ’face’ of diversity, or do they really have the power to make a difference? And, am I the only one wondering how white men feel about all of this? (stop rolling your eyes...) In this podcast, I’m talking about all of the things we’re secretly thinking when it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. As always, I’ll be adding my unconventional insights to challenge the status quo, and expand our thinking on all things DEI. You don’t want to miss it!

People have been shamed for their weight, their race, their gender and a lot of things. Now, in the name of DEI, people have been shamed for not knowing the letters or the terms to use, or even their behavior around people. It is bullying. This behavior divides, rather than unites people. Dr. Brandi doesn't like bullies... especially the ones who claim they're passionate advocates for DE&I. She's sharing her perspective on the hypo...

How about demonstrating some emotional competence? How about showing mutual respect? Those rules still apply and Dr. Brandi is calling people high...
