(00:00):
Never in mylifetime have I seen so many jobs posted
looking for experts in this space.
The workplace needs to change firstfor you to bring your whole self to work.
Are those people in the room ableto bring all of themselves?
What are the responsibilities of someonewho is doing
diversity, equity and inclusion?

(00:22):
If I walk into a space and it'scompletely been designed by people
who aren't like me, I'mnot going to find that sense of belonging.
How are you uncovering your own belonging?

Is truthfully anyone,
the full experton every single experience,
relying on a singular personto be the expert
on behalf of all people is really settingourselves up for failure.

(01:30):
And so I think in this podcastwe really get to be better facilitators
of the conversation.
Yeah, I've always seen myself more as afacilitator and connector than an expert.
And it's funny because I was toldyou have to think of yourself,
Jade, as a personality.
And I'm like, well, I am,
because anybody who has met me,some of them have a personality.

(01:52):
But that being said, like for me,I always see myself as a facilitator,
first and foremost.
Absolutely.
