We often think about diversity, equity, and inclusion only in terms of underrepresented groups, but it’s really about balance and representation across the organization, and it helps those we often think of as the majority, more often than you may think.

We are honored to be named as a top DEI firm in the US. And we're even more proud of our customers who are staying the course as they look beyond today's adverse winds, and set their sights on where their workforce and their customers are and what they value most. 👏👏👏

We are on the right side of history and intend to stay here!

Does a "warrior" have to look a certain way? Straight? Male? Tough on the outside? This Pride Month, that question has come roaring back—because on June 3rd, right as the month began, the Administration announced it would rename the US Navy Ship Harvey Milk, because, they want to “reestablish the warrior culture.” 🤔

We celebrate heritage months year after year—with events, flags, and hashtags. But this is the year we find out what they’re really about, and who we are as a people.

Will we stay quiet when one of our most powerful institutions tries to erase the names of civil rights leaders—not despite Pride Month, but during it?

Or will we finally stand with a community that has served to defend our honor, because their honor is in at risk now, and this country is big enough to honor all who’ve served it?

🔥 Over a 100 years later, Tulsa is taking action to right a historic wrong. For the first time, there’s real movement to address the devastation of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre—one of the deadliest racial attacks in U.S. history.

Tulsa’s Monroe Nichols (the city’s first Black mayor), just announced a $105 million reparations initiative to invest in the city’s Black community. It’s called the “Road to Repair.”

This isn't about assigning blame to individuals today (read further about this)—or even about money. Its about acknowledging the wrong that was done, and starting the healing process, not just for the Black community, not just for the People of Color, but for all of America. 👏

Google just agreed to pay $50M to settle a racial bias lawsuit. But the real story? The warning signs were there years ago—and they were ignored.

If you’re re-thinking your DEI strategy in this new environment, I encourage you to read the full story (link to be posted in the comments) and feel free to add a comment or DM me. Let's get the conversation going. The stakes are too high to get it wrong.

🧭 It’s time we stop treating DEI as a “nice to have” that can change with the way the wind is blowing—and start seeing it for what it really is; a core business function that protects and propels organizations. Because when inclusion is real, everyone wins. 👏

✨ There are modern tools that make this kind of listening easy: text-based, AI-powered, and instantly actionable. (No apps. No logins. No excuses.)

💬 What’s your org doing to listen to employees before they burn out or bounce?

Would love to hear examples—from the floor, the road, or the back office.👇



🚨 Qualtrics, Gallup, SurveyMonkey and the like are not enough! So many of my friends who lead large manufacturing, transportation and logistics organizations say, “I have no idea why my people are leaving!" "Did you ask them why?" I say. "Yeah sure, we have annual engagement...

In 1976, a young Oprah Winfrey was demoted from her job as a news anchor. The reason? She was told she was “too emotional” for the role. She clearly had merit based on what we all know now. So the issue wasn't her; it was a system that was not ready for Black woman in her field.

Fast forward to 2025, and the story of Black women in the workplace still echoes with familiar challenges.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to build an inclusive workplace — not just in words, but in action. And one thing is clear: If we don’t make it easy for every employee to share honest feedback, we’re missing the mark on building a truly inclusive workplace.

When frontline workers feel heard and valued, they stay. Not just out of duty—but out of loyalty because they feel their employer cares about them. 👏

🗣 How are you creating a culture of listening on your frontline? Drop a comment—I’d love to hear. 🙏

Recently I heard from a friend, an Ops Manager at a national warehouse brand. They are dealing with a challenge that most companies can relate to: frontline turnover is off the charts. Workers are burnt out and checking out—physically and emotionally. Exit interviews reveal that people feel discon...
