We all know there's a need for diversity in the work place. Most of us recognize that, yet diversity training rarely works.

There's a lot of talk about diversity in the work force, but what does that really mean? And, how can we successfully integrate a diverse workforce? Is it possible that we are looking at diversity in completely the wrong way?

Well stay tuned because we are going to take a deep dive into the truth and lies of diversity and diversity training with our guest.

Our guest on this episode is Jessica Pettitt, M.Ed., CSP. Jessica pulls together her standup comedy years with 15+ years of diversity trainings in a wide range of organizations to serve groups to move from abstract fears to actionable habits that lead to teams that want to work together. With a sense of belonging and understanding, colleagues take more risks with their ideation, converse precious resources through collaboration, and maintain real connections with clients over time.

Jessica Pettitt is referred to as the "Margaret Cho" of Diversity Trainers.

• The truth and lies of diversity
