Thank you, Juan Taveras, MBA, SPHR for having me on your podcast!
Here are a few takeaways from the conversation:
✅ Deb defines heart-centered leadership as honouring your connection with people without expecting anything in return.
✅ Many leaders struggle with past conditioning and biases that impact their leadership style.
✅ Imperfection, vulnerability, and the courage to admit what one doesn't know are strengths that can lead to more genuine connections and growth.
✅ Hiring people from diverse backgrounds simply to meet diversity quotas without a genuine commitment to creating an inclusive culture is not okay.
✅ Leaders must stay curious, ask questions, and remain open to learning from others because DEI is a journey, not a destination.
✅ Deb advocates for a more heart-centered approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), where the focus is on meaningful change rather than superficial achievements.
