What if diversity training actually worked—and made business better?


In this powerful episode, Danielle Ralston and Tim Blonsky introduce ND Visionary Partners, a consulting initiative redefining workplace inclusion through MERIT: Mindfulness, Equity, Respect, Inclusion, and Transformation.


Together, they uncover why traditional DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) programs often fall short—and how data-driven, merit-based hiring practices are the key to sustainable success, especially in a changing workforce shaped by retiring baby boomers, economic pressure, and the need for real equity, not just equality.

✅ Improve retention and engagement
✅ Harness neurodivergent and disabled talent
✅ Leverage data to future-proof their workforce

• The power of data-informed hiring and retention strategies
• The economic realities shaping today’s labor force
Equity vs. Equality: What your team really needs to thrive
