In a world of cancel culture and micro aggressions, how can we bridge the gap for white men, who want to do more as active allies or sponsors to bring women and BIPOC into leadership,  but are afraid that one misstep may cost them their careers or reputation?

“When we think of diversity in the United States, we tend to start and end with the visible things that we can see, race and gender, which are really important. But I think if people really want to get the most out of your people, you've got to really appreciate everything that makes people unique,” explains Beth Ridley, organizational transformation consultant, speaker, author, and CEO of Ridley Consulting Group. Today, she talks about organizational culture consulting and DEI.  In order to create a culture of belonging in the workplace, leaders need to be intentional about diversity, equity, and inclusion. When there's a true culture of belonging, employees will feel all four C's, comfort, connection, contribution, and commitment. In order to create this culture, leaders have to get the ball rolling by being an example and sharing what makes them unique. Everyone is diverse in their own ways. And when you can think of diversity from this perspective, it becomes more relatable for all employees. There is more to DEI than just looking at race and gender and when leaders can incorporate that, more employees will feel seen and understood. Authentic leadership is the foundation of a sustainable DEI strategy. From childhood experiences to the fun hobby you enjoy, you should be sharing what makes you unique. When you open up and are willing to be fully authentic, employees will feel safer to be brave and speak up about their own experiences.  Quotes: “When we think of diversity in the United States, we tend to start and end with the visible things that we can see, race and gender, which are really important. But I think if people really want to get the most out of your talent, you've got to really appreciate everything that makes people unique.” (3:45-4:03 | Beth) “What we can do is broaden our definition of diversity to make sure that everyone appreciates that everyone is diverse, there's not some diverse people and non diverse people.” (11:18-11:28 | Beth) “Sometimes caring for others starts with just being more self-reflective.” (26:51-26:55 | Beth) “It really takes those first couple of folks to come in and not expect that they're going to fit into the culture, but really create a culture where they're proud to stand out.” (31:10-31:20 | Beth) “The only way to be a little bit more savvy about cultural context is to broaden your data points around the human experience. The more people you know and learn from, you can start to minimize some of those blind spots around the cultural common context and at least, replace it with a little bit more empathy and understanding.” (55:19-55:41 | Beth) “Authentic leadership is really the foundation for a sustainable diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy. And it really starts in the most simple way of you deciding to be more authentic in sharing who you are and what makes you unique at work.” (57:00-57:21 | Beth) Links: Mentioned in this episode: Learn more about Mike Horne on Linkedin Email Mike at mike@mike-horne.com Find more about Leading People and Culture with Authenticity   Learn more about Beth Ridley: Website: ridleyconsultants.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/beth-ridley-a92b8b5 Email: beth@ridleyconsultants.com   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Over the past few years, the term “Gig Economy” has been trending -- and for good reason. The Gig Economy refers to 36% of US workers who parted ways with traditional nine-to-five jobs to be their own boss through freelance opportunities, independent contracts, and other revenue-generating side hustles. On this episode of The GoGedders Podcast, you'll hear from Sarah Ferrance, who previously held positions at Bon-Ton, Kohls, and Harley Davidson before leaving the corporate world to start her own consulting firm, Hyacinth Nembhardt, who has a side hustle catering frozen/blended beverages, and Beth Ridley, who recently left a successful corporate career to launch a career wellness company.

Since I launched The Designer CEO Podcast, I've been sharing advice on the business of retail and fashion and offering how-to's, strategy ideas, and interviews for fashion brands and Designer CEOs but I haven't told you too much about myself or my own journey. And I'm so excited to share this week's episode with you because I'm the one being interviewed! My friend Beth Ridley recently made the move to entrepreneurship and launched her own content and consulting company The Brimful Life and her podcast “The Brimful Life Podcast”, where she shares stories and advice from people who will inspire you to never settle in your pursuit to live fully. When Beth invited me to be a guest on her podcast I was absolutely thrilled to chat with her about my very own entrepreneurial adventure in this very special crossover episode. I'm finally sharing MY entrepreneurial origin story so if you've ever been curious about why and how I started Mod. Merchant, now's your chance to hear it. I'm telling Beth all about the lessons I've learned and practical tips that have helped me embrace and thrive in my new entrepreneurial life. I'm sharing my “why” for quitting my corporate job on a Monday to become an entrepreneur, the challenges that I've faced and how I'm achieving success by learning to maintain a positive mental mindset, letting go of perfection, and pushing myself to try new things and meet new people.  Join Beth and I on this special crossover episode of The Brimful Life Podcast's Interview with yours truly, Sarah Ferrence.
