Join us and be inspired in this replay episode from Women Acquiring Assets, featuring Asheli Atkins, a PhD in race and ethnic relations and an MBA who focuses on the intersection of growing wealth among women, particularly women of color, and the implications for legacy and financial empowerment. She highlights the rapid growth of women's wealth, emphasizing the importance of providing access to financial education, coaching, and products tailored to their needs. This growing wealth has the potential to reshape how legacy is built, but Asheli stresses that businesses must recognize and engage authentically with women and Black communities to support this transformation. A key aspect of Asheli's work is her critique of performative allyship in corporate diversity initiatives. She argues that many organizations make surface-level statements about diversity and inclusion without implementing meaningful, long-term changes. Asheli calls for companies to go beyond symbolic actions and ensure consistent engagement with marginalized communities, particularly Black businesses, and to build genuine, ongoing relationships. She emphasizes the importance of diversity across various aspects, including race, gender, and sexuality, and believes that companies must reflect the communities they serve in their leadership and practices. Asheli is also deeply involved in supporting Black entrepreneurs and marginalized groups, including through initiatives like Black Restaurant Week, which connects Black farmers and restaurateurs to promote economic empowerment. She advocates for intentional efforts to expand networks and engage with diverse individuals, encouraging organizations to invest in long-term, authentic relationships. Ultimately, Asheli's work is driven by the belief that true diversity and inclusivity require sustained commitment, self-reflection, and the willingness to foster real change across communities and industries.

What do you love about the show? Let us know! In this episode of Discover Daily, we explore South Africa's groundbreaking decision to become the first country to explicitly permit heritable human genome editing. This controversial move has sparked intense debate within the global scientific community, as it contrasts sharply with the prohibitive policies of over 70 nations. We examine the implications of these new guidelines, which focus on preventing genetic disorders and enhancing disease resistance.We then turn to Paris, where Notre Dame Cathedral marks a significant milestone in its restoration journey. The cathedral's historic bells rang out together for the first time since the devastating 2019 fire, alongside three new additions including a bell from the 2024 Olympics. This emotional moment comes just weeks before the cathedral's scheduled December reopening, representing the culmination of an 800-million-dollar restoration project funded by 340,000 donors worldwide.Finally, we delve into the fascinating Law of the Magic Third, exploring how reaching approximately one-third representation in any group can trigger significant social change. From corporate boardrooms to social movements, this principle has shown remarkable influence in transforming group dynamics and decision-making processes, offering insights into how meaningful change can occur without requiring an absolute majority.From Perplexity's Discover Feed: https://www.perplexity.ai/page/south-africa-allows-human-geno-oPwtLkKYRPaH3OVtooFj6whttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/notre-dame-s-bells-ring-again-MHC3flBXTO2n_lGe7kgH6whttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/the-law-of-the-magic-third-IBB1uZTSSRqe27sWDLrJSAPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

When Jamie Shields joined us from Northern Ireland, little did we know just how much his journey through the labyrinth of disability rights would both educate and inspire us. His personal transformation from battling disability to leading global advocacy efforts, and co-founding Unlearning Ableism, sets the stage for a profound discussion on the intricacies of ableism and the silent barriers it creates. Jamie's story is one of triumph and tenacity, and it lays bare the impact of ableism on mental health and social inclusion, revealing why our understanding of this issue needs to evolve.The word 'ableism' might seem straightforward, but as Jamie eloquently uncovers, the layers are many and the implications far-reaching. This dialogue takes you through the complexities of a world where pity and stereotypes have constructed systemic barriers, often invisible to the unaffected eye. We tackle the sensitive subject of ableism as a global issue, where language and cultural nuances can lead to misunderstandings, and emphasize the power of patience and the critical role of intent to navigate these waters. It's an eye-opening revelation about the psychological toll of ableism on individuals and the collective responsibility to unlearn and address these behaviors.Communication, the cornerstone of advocacy, is a delicate dance, especially within the disability community. Through personal anecdotes, Jamie and I contemplate the fear that often accompanies the potential for misspeaking and the resulting stilted progress in diversity and inclusion efforts. We underscore the significance of empathetic communication, the readiness to ask questions, and the importance of focusing on actions and intentions over words. By bridging the gap with education about ableism and the social model of disability, we aim to foster a more inclusive environment, encouraging listeners to join the conversation and contribute to dismantling ableism in all its forms.Support the showFollow axschat on social mediaTwitter:https://twitter.com/axschathttps://twitter.com/AkwyZhttps://twitter.com/neilmillikenhttps://twitter.com/debraruhLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniovieirasantos/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/axschat/Vimeohttps://vimeo.com/akwyz

Alex speaks with Akshaya Kamalnath about her work on Corporate Diversity, the social pressures and cultural trends that corporations are facing, as well as the jurisdictional realities of handling diversity, amongst other issues. Episode Notes: Akshaya's page at ANU: https://researchers.anu.edu.au/researchers/kamalnath-a Akshaya's blog: corporatelawacademic.wordpress.com "Legal and Market Initiatives to Increase Diversity in Corporations—A Cross-Jurisdictional Analysis" by Akshaya Kamalnath https://digitalcommons.law.seattleu.edu/sulr/vol46/iss1/5/
This Day in Legal History: Congress Permits Voting Machines in Federal ElectionsOn this day in legal history, February 14, 1899, Congress marked a significant technological leap in the electoral process by approving the use of voting machines for federal elections. This decision opened a new chapter in how votes were cast and counted, moving away from the traditional paper ballots towards a more efficient and potentially more reliable mechanical method. The introduction of voting machines was seen as a revolutionary step forward, aimed at reducing fraud and errors that marred earlier elections. Like swapping a horse-drawn carriage for an automobile, this shift promised to propel the American electoral system into a new era of speed and precision, ensuring that the will of the people was registered and reported with unprecedented accuracy. This legislation not only reflected the innovative spirit of the age but also underscored a commitment to refining and advancing democratic processes.In a Bloomberg Law exclusive, Fenwick & West is laying off nearly 10% of its attorneys and staff amid challenges in the tech-focused legal market. The decision, communicated by firm chair Richard Dickson, comes after an evaluation of both current and anticipated future demands, affecting just under 10% of the firm's professionals. Fenwick & West, a key player in Silicon Valley legal circles with clients like Apple, Oracle, and Meta Platforms, is responding to a downturn in transactional markets that has similarly impacted other tech-centric law firms such as Cooley and Goodwin Procter. The firm had ramped up hiring from 2020 to early 2022 to meet a surge in demand, but the subsequent slowdown in transactional activity has led to misalignment between the firm's talent levels and client needs. Despite the layoffs, legal recruiter Summer Eberhard remains cautiously optimistic about the future of corporate transactional practices. Affected employees will receive a minimum of 13 weeks of base pay and health benefits, with the longest-tenured staff eligible for up to 40 weeks of compensation. Fenwick & West Laying Off Nearly 10% of Attorneys, Staff (2)A recent judicial decision has created significant ripples within the litigation financing sector, particularly impacting Burford Capital Ltd and its involvement in price-fixing lawsuits alongside plaintiff Sysco Corp. Magistrate Judge John F. Docherty ruled against the substitution of a Burford Capital affiliate as the plaintiff in pork and beef price-fixing cases, a move that challenged the firm's $140 million funding arrangement with Sysco. This decision underscores the tension between the objectives of litigation funders and the public policy against financial speculation on legal claims. The case has drawn attention to the broader litigation financing industry, valued at $13.5 billion, especially in the realm of antitrust claims, where the costs of litigation are notoriously high and outcomes uncertain.The clash between Sysco and Burford has ignited debate over the influence of third-party funders in litigation and prompted calls for increased transparency within the industry. Critics, including the US Chamber of Commerce, argue that such funding arrangements can unduly influence the course and outcomes of legal proceedings, pushing for legislation that would require disclosure of financing agreements in legal cases. Meanwhile, proponents of litigation finance see the judge's decision as a specific instance rather than a systemic problem within the industry, emphasizing its role in enabling costly antitrust litigation to proceed.The ruling, pending review, has not only put a spotlight on the practices and impacts of litigation finance but also sparked discussions on potential regulatory responses. As the industry navigates this challenging landscape, the case between Sysco and Burford may serve as a catalyst for reevaluating the balance between the needs of litigants for financial support and the integrity of the judicial process.Judge's Order Deals Blow to Sysco, Burford Capital in Pork SuitsAlphabet and Microsoft have diverged from the Nasdaq's recommended format for reporting board diversity, opting instead for a more visual representation using dots and check marks, while Tesla and Amazon have adhered more closely to the suggested templates. Since Nasdaq's rules requiring annual diversity disclosure took effect in 2022, companies listed on the exchange have adopted varied approaches to reporting, complicating direct comparisons between them. The regulations also mandate Nasdaq-listed companies to maintain diverse boards or explain the absence of diversity, a requirement that has withstood legal challenges from conservative groups. Despite the differences in reporting styles, experts like Amy Augustine of Boston Trust Walden Co. view the overall trend towards disclosure as progress, providing investors with crucial information previously unavailable. The use of symbols for disclosure, as seen in Alphabet and Microsoft's reports, is defended by some as offering more detail than Nasdaq's templates, though it presents challenges for analysis, particularly by computers. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s move towards machine-readable data in proxy statements, such as requiring XBRL for pay-versus-performance data, contrasts with the less standardized board diversity information, which is not required to be XBRL-compliant. This discrepancy highlights the ongoing challenge of making diverse corporate disclosures more accessible for automated analysis. By way of very brief background XBRL, or eXtensible Business Reporting Language, is a global standard for digitally sharing financial and business information. Think of it as a translator, turning human-readable reports like financial statements into machine-readable data. This data is tagged with specific meanings, allowing computers to easily understand and analyze it. XBRL benefits everyone: companies save time and effort, investors gain deeper insights, and regulators get better data for analysis. It's revolutionizing the way business information is shared and used.As the SEC contemplates broader board diversity disclosure requirements for all public companies, the landscape of corporate reporting on board composition is poised for further evolution. This movement reflects a growing recognition of the importance of diversity in corporate governance and the need for transparency to support investors' decision-making processes.Alphabet, Microsoft Pivot From Nasdaq Diversity Reporting FormatElon Musk has vocalized concerns that Delaware, a jurisdiction chosen by a majority of large public companies for incorporation due to its predictable legal system, is attempting to thwart companies from relocating, particularly in light of a court decision that invalidated his $56 billion Tesla compensation package. Musk's reaction, notably on social media, suggests an urge for companies to consider moving their incorporations out of Delaware, citing the state's alleged efforts to "lock the doors," as exemplified by the Tripadvisor case.The TripAdvisor case revolves around the company's desire to relocate its incorporation from Delaware to Nevada, a move that reflects broader corporate discontent with Delaware's legal environment, despite its reputation for business-friendliness. TripAdvisor's move, endorsed primarily by chairman Greg Maffei despite opposition from a majority of minority shareholders, aims to benefit from Nevada's more lenient laws on self-dealing, where directors face fewer legal challenges. This case not only underscores the tension between corporate interests and shareholder protections but also signals a potential shift in the landscape of corporate registrations, with states like Nevada and Texas vying to attract businesses away from Delaware. The outcome of TripAdvisor's attempt to move could set a precedent affecting Tesla's and other companies' relocation plans, amidst ongoing debates about the balance between corporate governance and shareholder rights.Delaware's legal framework, historically favored for its specialized Chancery Court and non-jury trials, has been perceived as facilitating rather than obstructing corporate moves to other states. Recent legislative adjustments in 2022 have simplified the process for companies wishing to reincorporate elsewhere, allowing such moves with majority shareholder approval, a shift from the previous requirement for unanimous consent. This modification ostensibly makes Delaware more accommodating for companies contemplating relocation.However, the Delaware Court of Chancery's ongoing examination of reincorporation efforts, especially those potentially advantageous to controlling shareholders, introduces a layer of complexity. The Tripadvisor litigation highlights this scrutiny, with allegations that a planned move to Nevada could enable easier self-dealing by significant stakeholders, suggesting Delaware's courts may critically evaluate such transitions to ensure they do not undermine minority shareholder interests.The situation with Tesla underscores a broader dialogue on corporate governance, shareholder rights, and the legal mechanisms in place to safeguard these interests. While Musk's significant influence at Tesla has been acknowledged by Delaware courts, the specific dynamics of Tesla's proposed shift to Texas—where legal protections differ from Nevada—might not directly align with the concerns raised in the Tripadvisor case.The impending ruling in the Tripadvisor case is anticipated with interest, as it will offer further clarity on Delaware's stance towards companies seeking to relocate, especially those with intricate shareholder structures. This decision will be pivotal, potentially setting precedents on the degree of judicial oversight Delaware will exercise over such moves, and elucidating the balance between corporate autonomy and the protection of shareholder interests.In summary, while Delaware has been characterized by Musk as obstructive, the state's legal amendments and judicial attitudes suggest a more nuanced approach, aiming to balance the flexibility for companies to reincorporate with the need to protect minority shareholders. The outcomes of ongoing legal deliberations, including the TripAdvisor and Tesla situations, will likely contribute significant insights into the evolving landscape of corporate governance and relocation.Explainer: Did Delaware 'lock the doors' to stop companies from leaving, as Musk claims? | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Addressing the Challenge and Cultivating Balance Closing the conversation, Watchen addressed the specific scenario of a manager who struggles to express vulnerability at work.

Christopher Holmes, co-founder of RiskVersity, brings over 15 years of risk management expertise to the forefront of the insurance industry. In this episode, Christopher shares his journey from being an intern at Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. to becoming the CEO of RiskVersity, a company dedicated to changing the insurance landscape by creating opportunities for minorities. He discusses the unique challenges and progress in diversity within the industry, his commitment to fostering an inclusive environment, and his vision for the future. Key Takeaways: A little bit about Chris and his role at RiskVersity. How did Chris come up with the name RiskVersity? How did Chris get into insurance? It certainly wasn't on his vision board! Chris recently went through a physical transformation and shares some of his secrets to keeping fit. Chris's motivation to stay healthy stems from his son as well as his father, whom he lost when he was 13. When Chris got his start as an intern at Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., what was that experience like? Chris didn't want to make a bunch of money and just be miserable in his position. He needed joy and passion in whatever career field he was in. How did Chris transition to Wells Fargo? Chris was the Vice President of the Corporate Diversity board at Wells Fargo. Chris shares the type of conversations they were having back then. There's been a lot of progress that's been made in the last 15 years, and Chris educates his son on how much work and how far so many minorities have come. Chris gives an example that he heard about a lynching in 2002 near his hometown in South Carolina. There's progress, but there's still deep racism and we can't forget that. Have things gotten better in the insurance industry when it comes to diversity and making it more friendly for future generations? It's so hard to be yourself when you're the only one in the room. You are very conscious about avoiding becoming a “beacon” of a certain stereotype. Chris is also a marriage counselor, what made him pursue this certification? If you really love your partner, you have to go to the gym to maintain a happy and healthy relationship. So many of us, though, don't even know what types of weights to lift to achieve that. Chris talks about Legacy Investment Funds, an initiative that helps African Americans discover and pool their capital to reach better investment opportunities.

Welcome back to "On the Mic with Ray White," the podcast where we dive deep into the world of equity, inclusion, and organizational development. In today's episode, we're tackling an important and timely topic: the challenges faced by Chief Diversity Officers in today's corporate landscape. We're living in a time where business decisions often seem to take priority over human-centric positions. It's disheartening to see CDOs being cut, programs being slashed, and commitments being walked back, all because they're not producing immediate results. But as we discuss today, patience, understanding, and long-term commitment are crucial when working towards cultural change. As an equity inclusion strategist and organizational development strategist, I've been observing the changing landscape and the struggles faced by those who advocate for inclusive and valued spaces within institutions. From the overturning of laws associated with identity to the rising prominence of Chief Diversity Officers, the conversation around diversity and inclusion has taken center stage. But with the financial challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, some CEOs are quick to see diversity and inclusion departments as non-revenue generating and opt to cut them. What they fail to recognize is that these strategies take time and constant resources to bear fruit. It's a short-sighted view that can have detrimental effects on the progress we've made thus far. Additionally, we'll explore the overwhelming responsibilities shouldered by Chief Diversity Officers in their attempts to understand business goals, individual employee needs, and the overall path toward success. Is it fair to expect one person to single-handedly address systemic racism and oppression within an institution? We'll dive into this thought-provoking question today. This episode will also examine the surge in demand for Chief Diversity Officers following the events of 2020 when the urgent need for change in systemic oppression and racism became apparent. Join me as we delve into the fast-paced nature of the diversity, equity, and inclusion space, where staying informed and navigating deeply rooted discriminatory ideologies is an everyday challenge. We'll explore the difficulties of leading organizations through strategic change to combat limiting beliefs, biases, and oppressive behaviors. Would like to hear from you! What are your perspectives on the recent DEI program and roles cut in the Corporate sector? What impact do you think that will have on DEI as a whole?

Rhythm & News interview with Sheila Winston, a senior business consultant with Chase Bank, about Black History Month and about corporate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Interview by Chris B. Bennett.
Walé Elegbede, M.B.A., PMP President, Rochester NAACP and Director, Mayo Clinic RISE for YouthFaizza Omar RISE Up Youth ScholarSafa Sheikhibraihim RISE Up Youth ScholarWe are all born with potential, but not all of us are given the opportunity to realize it. This is particularly true of young people of color. The RISE for Youth program seeks to bridge the gap, with a first-of-its-kind collaboration between Mayo Clinic and the NAACP (Rochester), designed to help underrepresented students find power against those odds. Featuring RISE for Youth program leader Walé Elegbede, and two rising star students, Host Lee Hawkins leads this candid conversation on the impact of representation on our youth's success.“The beauty about this is, we're not going to decide; they're going to decide what they want to do. So, if they want to work in the healthcare field, that's perfectly fine. We are going to support them. But if you want to, for example, become a restaurant owner or a small business, we're going to support you along that journey.”— Walé Elegbede"When you think about social determinants of health, education plays a critical role."— Walé Elegbede"I would say my biggest highlight is when I first started to put it on my institution, I noticed I could count all the black students on one hand. So in contrast to this program, the seeing, the diversity and people of color and having the same shared lived experiences with them, I feel seen and heard and empowered to grow as an individual just because there's a sense of...there's a sense of belonging."— Faizza Omar“Now I feel like I can truly be myself and thrive.”—Safa Sheikhibraihim
Fadi Adel, M.D. Clinician-Investigator Fellow, Mayo Clinic Jennifer Koehler Research Technologist, Mayo Clinic Patrick Decker-Tonnesen Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity Advisor, Mayo ClinicUncertainty over which pronouns to use with gender-diverse patients can spark anxiety for medical professionals and new acquaintances alike. But that anxiety is no match for the trauma felt by transgender, intersex, and other gender-diverse patients who deal with being misgendered every day. Host Lee Hawkins is joined by a panel of Mayo Clinic experts to unpack the medical importance of pronouns and why best practices in equity, inclusion, and diversity cannot be honored without using them properly.“To be honest, if I didn't have chronic health conditions where I do have to go to the doctor's office very often, I would probably avoid it, because no one likes to be misgendered. No one likes to feel that anxiety. I really don't like feeling that anxiety, especially since now that I'm farther along in doing things that do affect my gender, like wearing clothing that I feel affirms my gender, like surgery, my haircut in ways that affirm my gender. And then still being misgendered in a doctor's office really negates all that validation that I do have, even in my queer community, even within myself.”--Jennifer Koehler“My medical chart has my pronouns. I have only been correctly gendered twice, where my pronouns are actually used in the medical setting. And this includes my doctor's notes because as a patient, I do read my doctor's notes, and it usually feels like I'm not generally being seen.”--Jennifer Koehler“And when I was growing up, I was very much pushed towards being my assigned gender at birth. And so, for me, it was just feeling this deep incongruence with that and also with my body and how I was being perceived by other people.”--Jennifer Koehler
We've all heard the buzzwords: Equity, diversity, inclusion.For some, these terms evoke social change but for others, they conjure empty promises on a glossy corporate brochure or a workplace's ineffective policy statement at the bottom of a job listing.In 2020, when Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd, worldwide protests against anti-Black police brutality and racism prompted corporations across the world to rush to address anti-Black racism with statements of solidarity and, in many cases, affirmations of their commitment to anti-racism in the workplace.But University of Toronto Professor Sonia Kang says that without action plans to back up those ideas, those statements can actually lead to greater blocks to success for racialized employees and job seekers.Join us and listen to Don't Call Me Resilient as we speak with Prof. Kang to discuss tokenism and how institutions uphold institutional racism. Kang is a Canada Research Chair in Identity, Diversity and Inclusion and host of the podcast For the Love of Work.From performative allyship in the workplace to resume whitening practices in job applications to the grey area between being a diversity hire or the first racialized employee, explore the many facets of tokenism and how we can challenge and reshape the institutional practices that keep racialized employees from succeeding in the workplace.Follow and ListenYou can listen to or follow Don't Call Me Resilient on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts.

Maia Hightower, M.D., M.B.A., MPH Chief Digital Technology officer of the University of Chicago MedicineIvor Horn, M.D. MPH Director, Health Equity & Social Determinants of Health, Google Artificial Intelligence is full of technological and economic promise, but just like its creators, AI isn't free from subconscious discrimination. As AI becomes more commonplace in the medical field, questions of whether racial bias will be mitigated or expanded in the future are omnipresent. The solution will depend on how much effort is put into making AI more equitable. Join Lee Hawkins, Drs. Maia Hightower and Ivor Horne as they delve into this new frontier.“Algorithmic bias is part of our history. It is part of the history of medicine, part of the history of the United States, and part of the history of our world, for many reasons.”--Dr. Maia Hightower“The real-world bias is in the real-world data.”--Dr. Maia Hightower“I literally went into medicine to transform the way people behave in, the way physicians behave in health care.”— Ivor Horn, M.D. MPH“And when I think about technology, it's all about, ‘how am I giving people more information, more access,' so that when they walk through the doors of a health care system, like, they have the tools to say, ‘I know this, I understand this, this is my question for you, and this is what I expect of this health care system for me and for my family.'”— Ivor Horn, M.D. MPH“We know that data shows that more diverse teams have better outcomes. They're more, businesses are more profitable when they have more diverse teams sitting around the table. And it's really important not just to have the team but also give the team space to speak and confidence to have their voice and bring and be their full selves when they come to the room.”— Ivor Horn, M.D. MPH
Eddie Greene, M.D. Associate Professor of Medicine, Mayo Clinic Lewis Roberts, M.B., Ch.B., Ph.D. Peter and Frances Georgeson Professor in Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Mayo ClinicCorey Shy, M.D. Instructor in Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine St. Louis Only about three percent of the nation's doctors are Black men, which lives in stark contrast to the overall Black population. In this episode, Lee Hawkins gathers a panel of Black men to examine this disparity and the unquestionable ripple effect of representation—or lack thereof. Listen as three accomplished Black men in white coats dissect the hurdles to medical school and representation in healthcare—from opportunity and mentorship to the power of seeing a doctor in Jordans. “What we really need to do is expand that pool. And how we expand that pool is starting much earlier. So, getting to kids in elementary school, middle school."— Corey Shy, M.D. "The big challenge is that (medical school) costs so much money. It's an investment that's going to take a lot of time to see results from.”—Corey Shy, M.D.
Felicity Enders, Ph.D. Professor of Biostatistics, Mayo Clinic As a biostatistician, Dr. Felicity Enders spends much of her time analyzing medical research and crunching the numbers we read about in newspapers and medical journals. In this interview, Dr. Enders reveals how this behind-the-scenes work is actually the frontline in addressing racism in healthcare. Join Lee Hawkins as he learns about the new data-collection approaches being used to track patient health over time and how they reveal the devastating “accelerated aging” effects of racism and chronic stress. “We're getting better and better data all the time. We're really seeing improved measurement. We have amazing imaging. But while we have more clarity of the problem, we're not seeing that in terms of solutions for health equity. And we are seeing really tremendous differences in health, primarily by race, but also by other factors.”—Felicity Enders, Ph.D. “We have a lot of data in the now, but we're not looking back over someone's lifetime to see what may be impacting what's happening in their health today. And that's really important because we see in research that people who have a lot of stress over their lifetime can have accelerated biological aging, meaning that their bodies at the cellular level are aging faster. And that leads to chronic health diseases that really can impact lives and experiences and bring about premature death. And it's very problematic.”—Felicity Enders, Ph.D. “If you have a physician who has the time, they're trying to get a medical history, but that may not include the history of things that have happened outside of the person's medical experiences that could impact their stress over their lifetime.”--Felicity Enders, Ph.D.
Sharonne Hayes, M.D., Cardiologist and Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine, Mayo Clinic Michele Halyard, M.D., Vice Dean Mayo Clinic School of Medicine, Mayo Clinic Facebook @cbbaz As the healthcare industry works to address disparities in clinical trial participation, some Mayo Clinic doctors are trying new approaches. In this episode, Drs. Sharonne Hayes and Michele Halyard detail the deliberate exclusion of women from these studies and the dramatic effects on health outcomes for women, from decades of misdiagnosis of heart attacks and heart disease to delayed detection of breast cancer. Encouraging more researchers to diversify their patient pool is not enough; the most successful efforts around gender equity in research and treatment have relied upon community partnerships with groups like Coalition of Blacks Against Breast Cancer. “The number one reason that women do not participate in clinical trials is they were never asked.” —Sharonne Hayes, M.D.

It's a very social culture."Hollie: "How you leave is more important than actually everything you did. Because it's the only thing people will remember about you. So are you honest and transparent? Are you having authentic conversations, are you putting a good plan in place that leaves your team and the organization in the best possible state?" Hollie: "The more clear you are about the thing you're going toward, the better probability you'll have of landing that. In my experience, careers aren't linear. Sometimes things show up and you're like, oh I don't know, this is kinda risky. Do the assessment of your calculated risk but sometimes the most unorthodox thing that shows up will be the thing that is the best growth for you."Hollie: "What happens with people that are really good is an organization will tend to want to give them more, whether it's in their job description or not. If that's not happening for you and you want that, make it known. I always say, nobody cares about your career as much as you do."

Minnesota is super white, like in terms of people, and Molly opens up about her struggles and desire to form genuine relationships with people of color. We talk about ways to do that sincerely but how there's no one perfect answer to that problem. We talk about diversity in the corporate world and companies and how we can truly create a more equitable society. From here we wrap up with a little insight on her jumping into the acting world during the pandemic and what that journey has been like.New product drop: beanies! Grab one here.

Jane Rosenzweig and I had a beautiful, vulnerable, courageous conversation about her experiences as a white DEI practitioner, wrestling with helping majority white organizations integrate their DEI values into the daily behaviors of all associates. Jane has spent her career developing corporate DEI strategies anchored in social justice foundations. Through her 20+ years experience in this industry, Jane formulated a support and racial literacy program for white leaders and corporate stakeholders loosely framed 'make better white people'. This program grew out of her own experiences as a practitioner, noticing that white associates in corporations needed a different type of education and accountability than their BIPOC counterparts and these differences must be identified within the DEI implementation plan. Listen as we talk through a specific intervention that Jane participated in and what she leaned as a result. If you want to your values infused into every aspect of your team's work, let's have a virtual coffee (schedule at FaithClarke.com) to brainstorm some strategies specific to your team. About Jane Rosenzweig: As the first Head of DEI (CDO) at W.L. Gore & Associates (www.gore.com), Jane developed a philosophy and strategy that built on Gore's humanistic values and innovative business model. Relying on culture change and social movement methodologies, Jane galvanized the involvement of thousands of Associates from around the world. Using curiosity and conversation, teams deepened their understanding of identity differences and committed to disrupting bias in day-to-day life. Jane's approach is rooted in her belief that empathy and dialogue can solve most things. (Along with a strong focus on systems and structures!) Prior to Gore, Jane spent 11 years at J.P. Morgan Chase in NYC. As part of the Corporate Diversity team, she was responsible for the employee engagement and communication strategy. She began her career at the US Attorney's Office in Washington, DC, where she had her fist formal DEI role: EEO Investigator. Contact Jane by email: janerosenzweig1@gmail.com
Former Xerox Chair and CEO Ursula Burns and Ford Foundation President Darren Walker on the tough conversations that make companies stronger, more resilient, and future-ready. As board directors of companies including Uber, Exxon and Square, they are working to change corporate culture from the top down.
From Wall Street to Main Street to Washington, everyone is talking about inflation, which is having a real-life impact on all of our wallets. CNBC's Kristina Partsinevelos reports on the increasing cost of daily life. Meanwhile, the billionaires in the ProPublica report, on the shocking low taxes paid by the wealthiest individuals, didn't use complicated strategies to shrink their tax bills. For the most part, they used plain, vanilla deductions. CNBC's Robert Frank discusses why any attempt to reform the system won't be easy. Plus, It's been a year since corporate America pledged to focus on diversity and make institutional changes. A recent analysis shows some progress is being made in boardrooms, though the level of Black directors on corporate boards remains low. Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, discussed what she would like to see from corporate America when it comes to speaking out about diversity, equity and inclusion.
Companies are using a new approach to push their executives to prioritize diversity: Tying it to their pay. WSJ's Emily Glazer explains how this tactic came about, and former executive Steven Davis talks about the role boards can play in improving diversity.
In this "Inspiring TED Talks" HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) explores Joan C. Williams recent TED Talk, "Why Corporate Diversity Programs Fail & What to do Instead." See the video here: https://youtu.be/U8UyOE10Y1s. Video Overview: "In the wake of George Floyd's death, companies are finally feeling the pressure to do something about diversity, equity, and inclusion. We've spent over $1 billion on our diversity efforts with remarkably little to show for it. Why? The basic tools of the diversity-industrial complex haven't worked. In this persuasive talk, Joan C. Williams explains a better, data-driven approach to interrupt bias at work. Over the past 25 years, Joan C. Williams has played a central role in reshaping the conversation about work, gender, and class. She is a Distinguished Professor of Law, Hastings Foundation Chair, and Founding Director of the Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California, Hastings Law. She is one of the 10 most cited scholars in her field and is the author or co-author of 11 books including “What Works for Women at Work” and “White Working Class.” She developed “bias interrupters,” an evidence-based metrics-driven approach to eradicating implicit bias."

Why are there so few Black and women CEOs? Activist investors. Or so says James White, the former CEO of Jamba, and Thomas Lynch, senior managing director of the private equity firm Mill Road Capital. White recently joined Lynch's firm to be part of its newly created Progressive Governance Fund, which seeks to improve diversity at smaller companies through targeted investments. White and Lynch argue that activist investors ultimately hurt the long-term value of the restaurant companies they target. But they also argue that activists hurt diversity, frequently by pushing out Black or women CEOs or board members and then nominating mostly white men.

In today's Daily Download episode, Trina Scott, the chief diversity officer at Rock Ventures and 2020 HousingWire Woman of Influence, joins HousingWire to discuss what she'll be speaking on during her panel at HousingWire Annual on Oct. 8.For some background on the interview, here's a brief snippet of what Scott will discuss on her panel entitled: Business Strategy During Social Upheaval:HW: What's one piece of advice you would give to mortgage executives about starting the conversation on how to create a business strategy during social upheaval?Trina Scott: It starts with the culture of your organization. We're very proud of our culture, which is built off of our philosophies called “ISMs.” We are also very conscious that, even though we have a rich culture, we need to be able to make sure that our culture has continued to evolve and that we're continuing to challenge the status quo of where we are as an organization. I'd say the first place to start is to ask: who are you as an organization? Do you know that? If you don't, you need to establish that.The second thing is to understand the business imperative around diversity, equity, belonging and inclusion. If it's looked at as a programmatic, separate thing you will never incorporate it to systemic overall changes that need to be made to processes that exist. It's important to understand the “why” behind this effort, not just for this moment but where it's really driving the bottom-line impact.I challenge all of us to think about who we are as an organization, establish who we are and use that as our bedrock. Most importantly, understanding our opportunity to be able to influence the outcome by incorporating equity, inclusion, belonging and diversity in every decision we make and, therefore, those two things build on a solid foundation of creating a program that's sustainable.The Daily Download examines the most compelling articles reported from the HousingWire newsroom. Each afternoon, we provide our listeners with a deeper look into the stories coming across our newsroom that are helping Move Markets Forward. Hosted by the HW team and produced by Alcynna Lloyd and Victoria Wickham.HousingWire articles covered in this episode:· Rock Venture's Trina Scott on adjusting business strategy during social upheaval· The Great Acceleration- HousingWire Annual 2020· Business Strategy During Social Upheaval
