Quote: “What I’m seeing across the board, companies are looking at diversifying their makeup.” Phyllis Reid-Jarvis

The events of the past year have led to some very frank discussions about systemic racism and the effects it has on today’s society. This in turn has created the space for conversations directed around diversity and inclusion at home and in the workplace. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Phyllis Reid-Jarvis to have a conversation about how leaders can guide their teams through tough conversations and what employees can do to help themselves.
