In the third episode of Young Life’s Forward podcast, we discuss the mission priority “Together”, which details our diversity goals for the next 5 years. Ann Shackelton (SVP HR Mission Care & Enrich), BeBe Hobson (Chief Diversity Officer), and Carolyn Harrison (Metro Director) discuss realities for various staff who are underrepresented (1:47), including leaders of color, women, and differing abilities. They talk positive change (4:00), results if Forward is successful (5:13), and fears and misconceptions that might hold us back (7:44). Near the end, we talk about effeciency vs. effectiveness in working on a diverse team (14:43). Finally, each guest answers questions in a speed round (21:15). 

Let’s Go — Forward.
