KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• I don’t want people to fear HR.
• Leaders leaning into their own vulnerability and admitting they don’t have all the answers is important.
• You can’t just post and ghost as a leader.
• Getting to the root of things, hearing feedback, having hard conversations, and feeling not equipped, can cause leaders to shy away, but we need to do the hard things... We have to get to the root of things, or it will continue repeating itself.
• Privilege does not have to be a dirty word.
• Talent benchmarking and succession planning are important - the higher you go in an organization; the less diverse it becomes.
• Recognition and awareness are great places to start! Take a step back and understand who you want to be. Start with little things… asking questions and getting curious.
• My work is always about people!
• Just because you’re different doesn’t mean you have to treat people different.
• The power of community and the power of collectiveness is the strength as DEIB continues to be under threat. You don’t have to do it alone; we elevate it together.
