24. Navigating DEI Backlash: A Balanced Approach for Women Leaders

In this episode, I equip you with frameworks to speak confidently about DEI in ways that are emotionally grounded yet focused on business imperatives and outcomes. This isn't about picking sides—it's about finding solutions that benefit everyone while driving innovation and profitability for your organization.
