Unfortunately, depending on where you sit on the U.S. political divide DEI or diversity, equity, and inclusion can mean wildly different things. But as I shared at the start of my TED talk, what I really do is teach people how to be good humans. Despite what has been portrayed by some folks, I do not spend my workdays contemplating ways to change children’s genders or force companies to hire underqualified talent. I teach people how to consider the broader implications of their actions and beliefs as they navigate the world. I give people the language to speak up and hold people accountable for their actions. I encourage people to be better listeners and leaders and connect across their uniqueness. What I do isn’t clinical. It is about helping all humans be successful, thoughtful, respectful, resilient, and well-connected leaders.
