Intentional Conversations with Nika White Consulting And Co-Host Dr. Shelton Goode | Ep. 2

In this episode of Intentional Conversations with Nika White Consulting, we are joined by Dr. Shelton Goode to discuss DEI efforts that yield measurable and sustainable results and DEI in a post-Covid world.

Here are the Key Takeaways from this #IntentionalConversation:

1. We are in a new world where employees are voting with their feet. They are asking for what they need upfront.
2. What’s hindering management is a denial of reality of what we’ve gone through and what we are going through post pandemic. We can’t have gone through this without the impacts affecting “business as usual.”
3. Create a space where conversations can take place, It is important for the phychological safety of all. Companies owe it to the organization to create these spaces for people to have these kinds of conversations. The problem is we don’t have people equipped to have them.
4. The work we do has always been about trying to help the organization and everyone in it to be better. It was never designed for an example to only benefit women and people of color at the expense of white men.
5. If your workplace is toxic, you are not going to be in the best place to acquire the best talent.
6. Leaders need to listen before they learn and learn before they aim to fix.
7. We need to continue to identify inequities that are impacting everyone from reaching their potential.
8. Meet people where they are so they can understand you and what you are trying to accomplish. There is no us and them, we all want the same thing, healthy communities and companies and a country that lives up to its expectations.
