Tonight’s show was focused on diversity, equity, inclusion training (DEI or whatever set of initials you use). We talked about what types of training we’re doing, what organizations need (e.g,, DEI 101), creating an environment that fosters compassionate curiosity, and more including being connected to the history of our locales. On the call were Diane Huckbay, Maurice Coleman, Paul Signorelli, Andrea Snyder, Tom Haymes, and Jill Hurst-Wahl.
We used to end our shows with the question of what we were going to do next based on what the show conversation was. We did that as a group after the recording ended. We hope that you’ll do the same. Now that you’ve thought more about DEI training, what are you going to do?
