"DEI fatigue" is real, and we definitely need a new approach! I love the shift from initiatives to embedding diversity, making it the heartbeat of company culture. Focusing on a customer-centric perspective, where diverse talent fuels business success, could overcome internal polarisation. How can we build clear KPIs & measurable impact for new DEI strategies beyond external pronouncements? #FutureOfDEI #IntegrateNotIsolate #BusinessDrivenDiversity https://lnkd.in/gFN6RA9P

I love to coach women leaders in technology to connect to their true power so they can create the purpose-driven impact they feel called to make, and have the time, energy, and financial freedom to live life fully.
Next week I'm headed to the Kentucky SHRM convention. SHRM stands for Society (for) Human Resource Management. I'm excited for this opportunity and have been searching for a way to meet the people for whom I can be of the greatest service. Last week one of my accountability partners suggested that I create and wear a large campaign button. The button will say, I Promote Women Leaders in Technology. It will be black lettering on a fire engine red background. I'll wear it on a dark jacket. Yes, talking about women leaders in technology at a human resource convention may not make a lot of sense. On the other hand it is a demonstration of what I believe women need to do more of. We need to stand up and speak out for what we believe in, not in an obnoxious way but with confidence and surety of purpose. What is your passion, your purpose? What is the problem you want to solve for your company, your clients, your community, and the world? What is important enough to you that you are you willing to stand out in a crowd? Great things are happening today. Let's get going! Jane Barr Wake to a weekly note of encouragement or an idea to start your day with enthusiasm.

Driven to deliver employee experience and customer success strategies at the intersection of people and technology. Keen on leveraging data and leading cross-functional teams to navigate initiatives and improve results.
Please check out the video starting at 4:47 if nothing else. More than a discussion of ageism its focus is on being a #humancentric workplace - "meet more people on their terms." - Ravin Jesuthasan, CFA, FRSA, @Stephen Bailey and Lindsay Kaplan There is rarely an obvious or agreed-upon strategy to do so. If you can start with a look at communication, decisions, and behaviors you might find a path forward allowing you to see others for what they can contribute be seen as an organization that helps people be their best see yourself smiling more in the mirror (even as you too make mistakes, grow, and mature) Thank you Mercer for this pragmatic consideration. #DEI #leadership #organisationaldevelopment

2moMcKinsey Institute for Black Economic Mobility, This insightful discussion highlights a crucial shift in hiring practices. By focusing on skills and experiences rather than traditional qualifications, companies can unlock untapped talent pools. The conversation between Darius Bates, Carolyn Pierce, and Byron Auguste makes it clear: when organizations embrace diverse perspectives and backgrounds, they not only foster innovation but also create a more equitable workforce. This approach not only opens doors for many but also ensures that every individual has a fair shot at contributing to and benefiting from their professional growth. Changing how we hire is more than a strategy—it's a step toward a more inclusive and effective workplace for everyone.
