According to the Washington Post, in 2020 between early March and early June, job titles such as Chief Diversity Officer, Diversity and Inclusion Recruiter, or D & I program manager fell nearly 60 percent. 

That’s until our country had a racial awakening and suddenly we witnessed new corporate commitments for diversity & inclusion.    

In June of 2020, the same category of jobs rose 50%. 

It’s why I was so excited to talk with Sara Salam, Director of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging for the San Jose Sharks - a new position for the organization.  

Sara and I dove right in and talked about:

• What diversity, inclusion, and belonging is and isn’t 
• How to approach being hired to a position that is new for an organization 
• How’s she flying the plane while it’s being built 
• What three things you should do in a new role How she works to make the hardest part of her job easier 
• What it was like going back to sports after running her own business
