In today’s episode, I'm going to discuss who should be leaving conversations around diversity and inclusion, and specifically around bias prejudice race within the workplace.

Should it be your Diversity Committee?

Should it be volunteers from across the organization?

Should it be the minority employees and individuals in the organization?

I explore the challenges, risks and outcomes related to allowing these conversations to be led by the wrong internal employees and stakeholders.

Episode Highlights:

• Why these conversations can be complex and often avoided altogether by organizations
• The risks and challenges of allowing individuals with ‘lived experience’ to lead these conversations.
• Factors to consider when using volunteers to lead these conversations
• How unpredictable and challenging it can be when employees share personal experiences
• There emotional labor involved with this work, even for practitioners

And so much more!
