In this powerful continuation of last week’s dialogue, Eric Ellis (President & CEO, Integrity Development Corporation) and Tommie Lewis (President & CEO, Make It Plain Consulting) invite you into an honest, strategic, and deeply human reflection on worth—both personal and organizational.
As Diversity Conversations celebrates 7 years and over 375 episodes, Eric and Tommie pause to evaluate the journey through multiple lenses:
• Alignment: Living and leading with purpose
• Growth: Evolving through challenge and change
• Resilience: Responding to adversity with courage
• Relationships: Strengthening authentic, meaningful connections
• Joy & Fulfillment: Creating space for what makes us come alive
This episode blends heartfelt storytelling with executive-level insight as they discuss:
• The shifting landscape of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
• Strategic adaptation during disruption
• The role of faith, inner guidance, and accountability in leadership
• Real-world examples of pivoting through uncertainty
• Why personal worth is foundational to professional impact
Eric and Tommie also share transparent reflections on sustaining this work over nearly a decade—largely self-funded—and express deep gratitude for the global community that continues to show up every week.
