October 25, 2021 Inclusion Strategies for Small Businesses with Alison Tedford
Next on the #3UNIQUES podcast - - We went LIVE with Alison Tedford, Diversity and Inclusion Consultant to talk about inclusion strategies for small businesses.
We don't need to leave diversity and inclusion to government groups or mega businesses like Amazon or Google. Every small business owner can do their part for the communities they serve. Alison shares some great tips on how to get started and how to consistently show up. The purpose of our business can stretch further than revenue growth, profitability...we can have an impact on the greater good.
With over a decade of experience doing inclusion work in government and seven years experience with inclusive marketing, Alison's impact sits at the intersection of inclusion and communication. More than just tactics, Alison gets strategic about creating a truly inclusive business.
Alison is also an author. Her first book Chronic Profit came out in 2021, and she has finished her 2nd book (not out) and has a third book in the works.
