Episode Summary:Diversity, equity, and inclusion are important values in the workplace because they foster a work environment that is fair and inclusive. They also benefit employees by making them feel valued and appreciated.

Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts! “If you're talking to the same people, you are going to get the same answer. If you've got the same people in the room, I guarantee you you're going to get the same answer [about diversity].” - Fields Jackson, Jr. When people are held accountable for budgets, sales, etc., you clearly see who can measure up. When a leader is held accountable for any type of diversity measurement and metric, the same clear picture emerges. The only difference is that so few have been held accountable for diversity - until now. Today's Finding Brave expert guest pulls back the curtain on what leaders and organizations have to start doing right now if they are truly committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. Fields Jackson, Jr. is the Founder and CEO and Chief Cheerleader of Racing Toward Diversity Magazine, and adjunct professor, teaching Principles of Business at Shaw University. He also teaches at South Carolina State, Southern University, and is the former Executive Director of the HBCU Business Dean's Round-table. Fields has been recognized by Diversity Best Practices as one of the Top Diversity Thought Leaders on Twitter, and has been identified by Onalytica, of London, England as #13 of the top 100 global influencers focusing on Gender Equality and Diversity. I'm so grateful for Fields' deeply honest sharing and candid views about diversity and how we build more diverse cultures starting today. His approach makes the work of creating and sustaining a diverse and inclusive workplace simple, but that doesn't mean it's easy. As we discuss, the effort generates tremendous opportunities and transformation, and by following what he shares in this episode, I am confident that you too can move the needle in your workplace, towards greater inclusion.

Joe has worked with Fortune 100 corporations, small non-profits, government entities, and everything in between. He speaks at numerous conferences and summits and is a featured contributor for the Workforce Diversity Network Expert Forum. His insights have been published in Diversity Best Practices, Diversity Executive, HR Executive, numerous other print and on-line journals, and he co-authored the book Social Gravity: Harnessing the Natural Laws of Relationships.

Joe grew up on a family farm in NW Iowa, served four years in the United States Marine Corps, including participation in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, attended Iowa State University and then spent 6 years working in management and business development for technology and communication companies. He then made a career change and went to work for a grassroots non-profit organization, and this is where he found himself drawn to issues related to diversity and inclusion and then became actively involved in that work. Today, Joe believes that we can ill afford to continue applying a 20th century approach to an increasingly critical set of 21st century issues. A strong advocate for resetting the diversity and inclusion conversation, Joe sees diversity and inclusion as poorly understood and often misunderstood. What you’ll learn about in this episode: How Joe came to work in diversity, equity and inclusion through working in the nonprofit sector What factors Joe believes have contributed to our slowed progress in diversity, equity, and inclusion, and why leaders often see confuse this work with compliance issues Why Joe isn’t a fan of best practices since organizations and their needs vary so greatly from each other Why organizations often forget that inclusion is separate from diversity and often don’t understand why inclusion matters What major challenges organizations are facing today, and why the global pandemic is having a major impact on diversity and inclusion Why our society is more polarized than ever, and why organizations must work for clarity on the behavioral component of the issue Why diversity, equity, and inclusion within organizations isn’t inherently partisan or political and why organizations must set a standard of expected behaviors What Joe hopes we will be doing differently in this work ten years from now, and why organizations who are doing the work now are laying the foundation for a strong future What advice Joe would offer to new practitioners in this space, and why getting clear on why the work is important to you matters Why you should define and work toward the unique contribution you can make within the realm of diversity, equity and inclusion Additional resources: Website: www.joegerstandt.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/joegerstandt/ Twitter: @joegerstandt

Some sobering statistics emerged from the recent #Inclusive100 survey of the media/marketing industry: Women and people of color are actually declining in the executive ranks. In this conversation with survey creators, Lynn Branigan, president and CEO of She Runs It, and Carol Watson, senior director at Diversity Best Practices, tell MediaVillage how we can do better and get it right - starting with the need to benchmark where we're at now. Learn about the three goals of "100" that inspired their #Inclusive100 survey. “Companies really want to know how to move forward. ... You can't just say you've been doing a lot, you have to measure, and understand what's happening with LGBTQ shifts, disability, veterans...all of those things. It's a very holistic, data-based approach which has been really missing in the marketplace. ...It’s like going to the doctor for your annual checkup. It's not a five-minute visit, it’s a great diagnostic scan and we all have to take our medicine,” Watson says. Learn why marketing + measurement are the biggest drivers of success through this podcast, and through MediaVillage’s Advancing Diversity initiative. In fact listen to the previous interviews with all of this year’s inductees to the Advancing Diversity Hall of Honors. There will be more coverage on MediaVillage of the forthcoming Honors, Council meeting, the Diversity Job Meet-Up and the Creative Tensions® experience all taking place during CES on January 8th in Las Vegas.

She is the CEO of Simone Morris Enterprises LLC., a company whose focus is on inclusive leadership and women's empowerment. Show Notes: “Diversity is being invited to the dance, and inclusion is being asked to dance” - Verna Myers. Perhaps you've heard of the age old saying that there is unity in diversity. Well that is what my guest on this week's episode of The Entrepreneurial You advocates for. Are we being hypocritical when we talk about diversity? Do we only speak of diversity when we are outside of the door? What happens when we get on the inside, do we still advocate for the others who are not yet in? When we talk of diversity, what are we really talking about? How can we create a culture of inclusivity and acceptance for all? Can diversity be measured? Why should we care about diversity and inclusion? What are some of the ways that inequity present itself?
