Brown Davis Executive Search Partners’ Post

"Well, the first thing that I would say is that it's never too late. Every organization has to map out its own journey with respect to DEI work. And every journey has to start somewhere." Maureen O'Neill shares her and her team's own journey building out their DEI strategy. In our latest Diverseek podcast episode, Maureen reminds us of our moral compass, even through the changing winds of politics and life. She gives examples of how she has built creative pathways to engage clients and employees - including the creation of a Client Advisory Board! I loved the perspective she shared with me that she felt fortunate with her situation, and part of that was because it maybe was "late".

Every organization has to map out its own journey with respect to DEI work. And every journey has to start somewhere. Maybe you're just getting started because you're a new company. You're a startup, or you're a spin off of another organization. Maybe you're just getting started because your leadership in the past wasn't receptive to the work, but that's changed. Maybe they didn't understand the value of the work, but now they do. Whatever the reason is for being, quote, late. It doesn't matter, right? Just kudos for taking the first steps. But as far as those first steps, in my view, the most important thing is to come to an understanding of what the level of commitment is from your organization, from its executive leadership, and what resources are you going to have available to do this work.” #diverseek #dei #podcast #deistrategy #inclusiveleadership #diversity #equity #inclusion

Aden Nepom helps people build better habits around communication and collaboration to experience more joy in their work through her work with her company, Art of Change - Skills for Life. The feeling of joy as a conversational outcome is an interesting one, and Aden defines that joy as wholeness, excitement, and a sense of goodness in oneself. As Aden describes in this episode of Rethinking Communication, change requires experiencing it, and grief is a natural part of letting go of past expectations. Assumptions, fear, and joy often intersect in communication, and assuming positive intent and effective communication can drive positive change in the workplace. Aden encourages self-awareness, asking for what you need and want, and avoiding polarizing communication, as relational conversations and collaboration are key to fostering joy and satisfaction in work and in our personal relationships.

Do you ever think about making a career change but find yourself resisting? Maybe your identity is deeply tied to your current career and you don’t feel like you can walk away from it.
