The Equity Equation

Over the past month, I’ve seen a shift in how organizations are approaching psychological safety. The requests coming in aren’t for one-and-done trainings—they’re for deep, long-term work that creates real cultural change at the team level. Organizations are realizing that true inclusion isn’t a box to check; it’s about sustainable impact. That’s why we’re focusing on organizational change, learning and development, culture actualization, and more—all rooted in data to drive meaningful results. If you’re ready to move beyond surface-level efforts and build a workplace where psychological safety is embedded in your culture, let’s connect. The work starts now. #PsychologicalSafety #InclusiveWorkplaces #CultureChange

This week's episode of DEI After 5 could not have been more perfectly timed. As many of us grapple with the outcome of this year's election, we have to be mindful of how we got here. Social progress isn't a lazy climb up a mountain - it's a relentless tug of war where you can't rest or you'll slide back! Historically, this struggle is peppered with key moments that have shaped today's challenges. During my conversation with Patrice Lumumba Jones, we discuss the event that laid the groundwork for systemic racism in America - Bacon's Rebellion of 1676. That's a tough history lesson, but it's crucial for understanding today's social dynamics and driving change. Let's remember, as Vice President Harris eluded: Progress is ongoing and demands our constant effort. #SocialProgress #HistoryMatters #RacialEquality #Leadership #ContinuousImprovement #CommunityEngagement

Transparency and connection are your superpowers in challenging times! When facing layoffs, many leaders struggle with acknowledging the impact. It’s important to remember that a part of your team’s identity is shaped by those who leave. Here’s how to navigate the aftermath with grace: - **Be Transparent**: Communicate openly about what’s happening and prioritize healing. - **Embrace Learning Moments**: When unsure, say I don't know, but commit to finding answers. - **Show Respect**: Value your team by following up and providing solutions. By doing this, you not only engage in transparent leadership but also strengthen the respect and trust within your team. How do you foster trust and transparency when the going gets tough?
