Real Talk on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion—From Both Sides of the Aisle
Episode Highlights
1. Two Worlds, One Conversation: A liberal and a conservative come together to explore the real meaning behind diversity, equity, and inclusion—without political talking points.
2. The Roots of DEI: We examine the original purpose of DEI programs—how they aimed to increase awareness, opportunity, and fairness in workplaces and communities.
3. Where DEI Went Wrong: Jackalyn and Nigel reflect on how poorly delivered DEI training, often led by unqualified individuals, has created fear and backlash instead of understanding.
4. Defining the “Little d, e, and i”: Stripping away the politics, we redefine DEI as a personal, relational journey that deepens awareness, reduces bias, and enriches organizations.
5. Benefits Beyond Buzzwords: From productivity to profit, we outline how real DEI work strengthens teams, boards, and leadership effectiveness when grounded in emotional intelligence.
6. How to Rebuild Trust in DEI: We offer solutions for how companies and communities can reframe DEI in language and purpose that resonates across political lines.
7. Respect Across Differences: This episode models how respectful conversation between different political perspectives can create insight, empathy, and unexpected agreement.
8. A Friendship Forged Through Dialogue: Nigel and Jackalyn reflect on how these deep talks have grown their respect, admiration—and a lasting friendship rooted in shared purpose.
