In Today's Episode of #ThePathwaysofPeakPerformance, I welcomed back Lined Mason, from Ameritas to discuss the importance of personal commitment and initiative for success.

Lined and I discuss how she has been working hard collaborating with others to develop Inclusion and how Ameritas has expanded new Resource Groups to be available to all walks of life.

She and I speak about the implementation that Ameritas has done with their study and resource groups. I have been part of such study groups and believe that the community element of learning from others, can truly help your practice and that can help your clients.

Highlights from this episode are:

- Hiring based on skill regardless of race/ethnicity
-Tapping into diverse markets
- The link between HR/recruiters and diverse candidate pools
- Statistics and benefits of mentorship and mentoring programs
- Inclusion and diversity and their foundations
- Implementing resource groups and being inclusive for better companies
- Leadership as key component in DEI initiatives and creating diversity inclusion Council
- Surveys and resource groups created for DEI initiatives

Some of the Current Ameritas Resource Groups:

Ameritas Growth Leaders
Ameritas Women Elevated
DEI Counsel
Young Bison
Babs Black American Resource
Disability
LGBTQ+

It is very important to Team up and don't try to do this alone.
