KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM JAYA:

1. Our society has a positive view towards extroverts, but we need all personality types in our workplace and society.

2. We do not need to talk about aspects of our identity in silos.

3. There is NO singular way to be a successful leader.

4. There needs to be an understanding of what our roles are in the race conversation, it does no one any good to be silent.

5. DEI is so very interesting because there are constant evolutions.

6. Just because something worked at one company doesn’t mean it will work in another, you do want to adapt your work.

7. To ensure DEI work is sustainable - really make sure there is the leadership commitment, a strong culture of measurement and accountability, and think boldly around initiatives related to inclusion.

8. If you have inclusion - diversity is the outcome.

9. Hold onto hope… it is natural to be disheartened, but remaining hopeful is vital.
