Podcasts about diversity council

Why are Black women still expected to carry everything without complaint? They keep telling Black women to be strong, to push through, to hold it all together. But what they never address is the damage that message leaves behind—mentally, physically, emotionally. The burnout, the silence, the pressure to succeed at the expense of our well-being. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and still paying too high a price, you're not imagining it. You're navigating systems that were never designed with your safety in mind. In this special National Black Girl Month™ episode, you're invited into a powerful conversation with Dr. Vanessa Perry, global thought leader, psychologist, and CEO of The Perry Group. Alongside Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown, we explore what Superwoman Syndrome actually costs Black women—and how to stop carrying what was never ours to begin with. This episode answers the unspoken questions so many Black women ask themselves: Why do I feel like success is wearing me down? Is it possible to lead without losing myself? How do I reclaim peace when the world expects performance? Dr. Perry shares insights from over 25 years of research and executive advising in Fortune 500 companies, federal agencies, and high-level leadership spaces. Together, we discuss how to name the cycle, build supportive community, and create spaces—personally and professionally—where Black women no longer have to prove themselves to belong. This isn't just about workplace equity. It's about redefining what thriving looks like on our own terms. → Learn more and access your free toolkit at nationalblackgirlmonth.com → Join our virtual community: facebook.com/groups/nationalblackgirlmonth → Connect with Dr. Venessa Perry: https://www.linkedin.com/in/venessam/ → Connect with Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown: www.instagram.com/dr.rikesha → Connect with Felicia Ford: www.threads.net/@friendscallmefe Join Momentum Lab: https://lab.feliciafordandco.com About Dr. Venessa Perry: Dr. Venessa M.

The demand for AV services accelerates, and the industry is facing a growing labor crisis. According to Field Nation, 72% of AV integrators say talent shortages are their most pressing challenge, driven by a wave of retirements, increased project complexity, and rising demand across sectors like education, healthcare, and retail. AV Integrators risk project delays and margin erosion without a new generation of skilled professionals. This puts everything from timelines to long-term growth at stake.So, how can the AV industry tap into untapped talent pools and raise awareness among future professionals?On Pro AV Today, host Ben Thomas and Kim Lonas, the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Program Lead & Talent Acquisition Lead at DCC Technology, discuss how the industry can evolve its recruitment strategies. Together, they explore the urgency behind workforce development and how inclusivity, education, and mentorship impact everything from awareness to long-term retention.Key Takeaways from the Episode:Rethinking recruitment pipelines: Organizations must look beyond traditional AV circles, reaching into adjacent industries, educational institutions, and nontraditional talent pools to find the next wave of professionals.IT convergence as a gateway: As AV solutions rely more on networking and data, individuals with IT skills—especially in analytics and platforms like Power BI—are increasingly essential to integrator success.Mentorship as a growth tool: Programs like those from AVIXA and WAVE are helping to mentor, educate, and retain new talent, making the industry more accessible to those unfamiliar with its career opportunities.Kimberly Lonas is a seasoned leader in equity, inclusion, and talent acquisition with over 20 years of experience in executive search, HR strategy, and workforce development across North America and global markets.

Hello Libration Nation! This week's book is Daring Greatly by Dr. Brené Brown, and I'm talking about it with my fellow librarian and library advocacy rockstar - Sonya Durney! Sonya is a passionate advocate for libraries and open education. Sonya is the Scholarly Communication Research & Teaching Librarian at the University of New England, is past president of the Maine Library Association, a member of the American Library Association Policy Corps, and serves on the executive board of the Maine Freedom of Information Coalition. As the Scholarly Communication Research & Teaching Librarian at the University of New England, Sonya liaises with the College of Business and the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences while actively contributing to various university committees, including the Open Educational Resources Steering Committee, Equity and Diversity Council of Chairs, and the University Faculty Assembly.

The challenges librarians face today echo Brown's idea of “being in the arena.” Whether it's addressing book bans or advocating for community resources, stepping up despite the fear of criticism embodies the very essence of daring greatly, and Sonya shares her experiences and inspiration pulled from Brené Brown's work.

We highlight thought leaders who are constantly evolving their strategy and can provide insight to folks about how to address new business challenges.  AllVoices is on a mission to create safe, happy, and healthy workplaces for all, and we're excited to learn from experts who share our mission. In this episode of Reimagining Company Culture, we're chatting with Angeles Valenciano, CEO of the National and Global Diversity Council. Ms. Valenciano has 20 years of experience in human resources, primarily focused on diversity, organizational change, and development.Tune in to learn Angeles' thoughts on impactful and meaningful strategic partnerships, the intentionality of companies, measuring progress, and more!About AllVoices In today's workforce, people often don't feel empowered to speak up and voice their opinions about workplace issues, including harassment, bias, and other culture issues. This prevents company leadership from making necessary changes, and prevents people from feeling fulfilled, recognized, and included at work. At AllVoices, we want to change that by providing a completely safe, anonymous way for people to report issues directly to company leaders. This allows company leadership real transparency into what's happening in their companies—and the motivation to address issues quickly. Our goal is to help create safer, more inclusive companies.

Workplaces of all types have changed considerably since I started my newspaper journalism career in the late 1990s.  Inclusion at work was not even thought of but it is a wonderful thing it has become a major goal for offices, factories, and political environments the world over.   My guest today is an expert on workplace inclusion. Gloria Tabi is an Author and the Managing Director at EVERYDAY INCLUSION and Founder of Voice Everyday Racism. Gloria's research specializes in Social Analysis on Race, Social Inequalities, and Anti-Racism.

Gloria provides proactive, relevant, and impactful training frameworks that are tailored to your business for a safe, productive, and sustainable future.   Hear from Gloria on: Why has workplace inclusion become such a major focus for companies who perhaps even a decade ago? Is it about profit as much as people – why or why not? It can start with hiring and having a D&I policy but how does everyday culture in an organization need to operate to succeed with having a more inclusive workplace that thrives financially as well as socially? The Diversity Council of Australia has a yearly index they share. We began tracking the state of inclusion in the Australian workforce in 2017. The stats don't lie! It appears to be workplace inclusion and diversity means success. What is holding companies back from making such changes or keeping them up in your view?
