DAISY'S KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• We don’t get rid of marketing or product functions when the economy changes, but we do this for DEI. We need to use this time to restrategize and execute this work better, not giving up. It’s to companies detriment when you give up on DEI. 
• Acknowledge that some things didn’t go as planned, but that’s life. Use this time to make it better, that’s business. 
• DEI has always been questioned and DEI practitioners have always been devalued... this isn’t new. Ebs and flows always happen with DEI work. Society is reactive and the media plays into it. 
• Sensationalizing DEI for clicks and likes, makes light of terms that affect people’s life and how they are treated in society. 
• Simone Biles, brought to the forefront wellbeing and moving away from something you love for mental health and coming back. She represents strength and resilience on her own terms. 
• Reshaping systems is always met with push back. 
• Radical Sabbatical to deal with years of stress, chronic health problems, and burnout. 
• To lead well, we have to live well: https://www.daisyauger-dominguez.com/books For managers of people. 
• There’s only one side of DEI work... inclusion is for everyone. We need a collective and inclusive approach where everyone feels included. You can’t be on the wrong side of DEI. 
• Allyship during this election. Find your what and why? How do you leverage your power to include a Black or Brown person. 
• Allyship: Think about the stories you include/know and the ones you are overlooking because they’re uncomfortable. 
• The pursuit of DEI is a shared responsibility and business imperative.
