In this episode of The Present Professional, we delve into the vital topic of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and its significance in today's workplaces and organizations. Our Director of Talent and Diversity, emphasizes the importance of integrating DEI into our daily mindset rather than treating it as a separate topic. He introduces the foundational concepts of DEI—diversity, equity, and inclusion—and discusses how these elements should be at the forefront of our awareness as we navigate a diverse world. The conversation highlights the need for ongoing engagement with DEI principles to ensure they remain relevant and impactful in our personal and professional lives.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are essential for building successful and innovative organizations. Diversity brings unique perspectives by embracing differences in race, gender, age, and background. Equity focuses on addressing systemic barriers and tailoring resources to meet individual needs, ensuring fair opportunities for all. Inclusion fosters a culture where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute fully.
By integrating DEI, organizations enhance creativity, connect with diverse markets, and build stronger teams. Empathy, equity-focused policies, and continuous commitment are vital for dismantling barriers and creating a fair, inclusive environment that drives success and innovation.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
