With the type of culture that workplaces have developed to in this time, I think it's time to realize the advantage that going into the military has now compared to going straight into college after high school.

Today, I want to share a personal reflection on why I am proud to be a DEI hire. My journey has been deeply shaped by the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and I believe these principles are essential for any organization striving for true innovation and growth. Being a DEI hire means more than just fulfilling a quota. It represents a commitment to bringing diverse perspectives and experiences to the table, which is crucial for solving complex problems and driving creativity. My background, shaped by a small-town upbringing, military service, and a career in technology and talent acquisition, has given me a unique lens through which I view the world. This diversity of thought has been a significant asset in my work, allowing me to connect with and understand the needs of a wide range of people. In every role I've taken on, from being a Navy officer to a diversity consultant and speaker, I've seen firsthand how inclusivity can transform workplaces. It fosters a sense of belonging, empowers individuals to bring their whole selves to work, and ultimately leads to better business outcomes. Being a DEI hire isn't just a point of pride; it's a responsibility to advocate for and mentor others from underrepresented backgrounds, ensuring they have the support and opportunities to thrive. I am proud to be part of a movement that recognizes the value of diverse talent and is committed to creating inclusive environments where everyone can succeed. Be intetional and continue to champion DEI in all that we do and build workplaces that are not only diverse but truly inclusive. Diversity is about all of us! #DEI #DiversityAndInclusion #TalentAcquisition #Leadership #ProudToBeDEI

Are you acknowledging Military Appreciation Month in the Workplace? May is Military Appreciation Month, a time to honor and recognize the incredible contributions of our military personnel, both past and present. It's an important reminder of the sacrifices made by service members and their families, and a great opportunity to integrate this recognition into our workplace culture. What Does Military Appreciation Month Mean in the Workplace? Military Appreciation Month in the workplace is about acknowledging and valuing the skills, discipline, and leadership that veterans and military personnel bring to our organizations. It’s also a time to foster an inclusive environment where their unique experiences are celebrated. Ways to Acknowledge Military Appreciation Month: Share Stories: Encourage employees to share their own or their family members' military stories in team meetings or company newsletters. Host Events: Organize events like a luncheon or virtual meet-up to honor military personnel and their families within the organization. Support Veteran Hiring: Promote veteran hiring initiatives and offer training programs to support the transition of veterans into civilian roles. Volunteer Opportunities: Arrange volunteer activities supporting veteran organizations or causes. Offer Recognition: Publicly recognize military employees and their contributions during company-wide meetings. Incorporating Military Appreciation with DEI: Celebrating Military Appreciation Month aligns perfectly with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. It emphasizes: Diversity: Highlighting the diverse backgrounds and experiences of military personnel. Equity: Providing equitable opportunities for veterans in hiring and career development. Inclusion: Ensuring that veterans feel valued, understood, and integrated into the workplace culture. By recognizing and honoring Military Appreciation Month, we not only show gratitude for the sacrifices made by service members but also strengthen our commitment to a diverse and inclusive workplace. #MilitaryAppreciationMonth #Veterans #WorkplaceInclusion #DEI #DiversityEquityInclusion #VeteranHiring #MilitaryStories #InclusiveWorkplace #SupportOurTroops #WorkplaceCulture #HonoringService #EmployeeRecognition #VeteranSupport #MilitaryFamilies #VeteransInTheWorkplace #Leadership #CommunityEngagement #TeamUnity #CorporateResponsibility #RespectAndHonor #DiversityInAction #InclusiveLeadership #EquitableWorkplace #WorkplaceCelebration #EmployeeEngagement #HRInitiatives

Disabled American Veteran and former nuclear field artillery and Special Forces officer.

Chapter 2, The Gatekeepers called Supplier Diversity managers and CDOs. Chapter 3, How to play Offense with Diversity. Chapter 4, The Billion Dollar Round Table and the MBE Carnival. Why White women get more support from DEI than all black folks combined. Chapter 5, True Stories about what White people say about MBEs behind our backs. Chapter 6, The reasons we proliferate the Myths. Chapter 7, Multicultural Marketing and the Failure of Madison Avenue to find talent among minority communities. Chapter 8, The Numbers tell all.

Reflecting on my journey from military service to multiple career paths, one truth stands out: the undervalued power of blue-collar work. As someone who's been on both sides of the employment spectrum, I've witnessed firsthand the dedication and impact of these roles. Let’s shift our perspective and recognize the integral role they play in our daily lives. A collective approach to valuing every profession can redefine success for many. #CareerReflections #BlueCollarSkills

Dear Vice President Harris: Embrace “DEI Hire.” Defuse the ugly intent by promoting the values that DEI represents—the American values that just so happen to be introduced plainly and clearly in the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Diversity: ALL are created equal Equity: All are created EQUAL Inclusion: ALL are endowed with RIGHTS, among these, LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. ALL people, every KIND of us. The worst of us are attempting to reframe DEI as a euphemism for the most primitively grotesque slur. The best of us need to remind The People that DEI is shorthand for exercising the Declaration of Independence IRL. D.E.I. = D.O.I.
