For years, we have been told the lie of the benefits of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” Known as DEI. It has infested governments, schools, colleges and universities, and even many of the corporate and media entities. However, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” has morphed into “Perversity, Deception, and Delusion.” Bob explains what this means and what we must do.Now, do you believe in this ministry?

There's been a lot of talk in the media about diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, but what does DEI actually mean? Why do so many people seem to misunderstand its intent? In recent years, many companies moved quickly to implement DEI programs that addressed inequities in recruitment and hiring practices, mentorship, and other opportunities. But just as quickly, backlash arose to these policies. In this episode, Carol and Jeevan speak to Dr. Camellia Bryan, an assistant professor at the UBC Sauder School of Business, about the importance of DEI and how backlash can actually be a sign that real progress is being made.LINKS FROM THIS EPISODEContact CarolContact JeevanFrom Here ForwardBeyond Backlash: Advancing Dominant-Group Employees' Learning, Allyship, and Growth Through Social Identity ThreatAbout Dr. Camellia BryanContact Dr. Bryan (00:00) - Introduction (01:28) - What is DEI and Who Does it Include?

In this podcast episode ... As Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are struck off from federal websites by the new administration. It's down to state organizations to be there for everyone in the community regardless of age, gender or race. Plus we take a look at other stories from around the region.

This week on Revenue Rehab, our host Brandi Starr is joined by two powerhouse guests, Sharon Nyangweso and Anna Radulovski. Meet Sharon Nyangweso, the innovative founder and CEO of Quake Lab. Sharon champions a radical problem-solving approach with an equity lens that is measurable, strategic, and grounded in design thinking. Her work revolves around dismantling invisible systems to promote inclusivity and equity in businesses. Anna Radulovski is the visionary founder of Women Tech Network, boasting a membership of 150,000 across 179 countries, along with leading initiatives such as Coding Girls and Executive Women in Tech. Anna is passionate about breaking barriers and redefining the tech landscape for women. In this Problem Solving episode, Brandi, Sharon, and Anna explore the critical importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as fundamental business drivers. As companies reconsider their DEI strategies under external pressures, our guests delve into the damaging myths around DEI, the impact on revenue, and why prioritizing equitable practices is not just morally right but strategically essential for sustainable business success. Episode Type: Problem Solving Industry analysts, consultants, and founders take a bold stance on critical revenue challenges, offering insights you won't hear anywhere else. These episodes explore common industry challenges and potential solutions through expert insights and varied perspectives. Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers:  Topic #1 The Business Imperative of DEI [07:47] “Our big original sin when it comes to this space... is thinking about equity as a moral imperative rather than a business imperative," Sharon Nyangweso notes. "The challenge is... you decide, oh, this is no longer beneficial to me because the social capital is either reducing or it has come up against too much backlash... However, for the organizations that started seeing it as a business imperative, that does have a moral aspect, but it is first and foremost a business imperative.” This approach demonstrates the potential long-term impacts of DEI on business metrics such as market share and customer loyalty.  Topic #2 Diversity Beyond Ethnicity [16:55] “I think there is this misconception that DEI is strictly race, gender, and sexual preference," Brandi Starr mentions. She highlights the often overlooked segments like people with disabilities or mental health issues. "By doing things that help to accommodate some means, you are actually benefiting more." This discussion emphasizes how inclusivity in policies, like remote work, impacts a diverse range of individuals, ultimately benefiting the organization comprehensively.  Topic #3 The Curb Cut Effect and Inclusivity [34:13] “If you are designing for the population who is most kind of marginalized... you are inadvertently going to capture the largest amount of people," Sharon Nyangweso explains. "A great example is with these curb cuts... initially created for people using mobility devices, yet they benefited an incredible influx of other people." This example illustrates how solutions designed for inclusivity often provide broader benefits, increasing operational efficiency and market reach.  Rapid Fire Round In the rapid-fire round, Brandi Starr asked Sharon Nyangweso and Anna Radulovski four critical questions about tackling DEI challenges.  When asked, “If your company has a DEI problem, what's the first step you should take?” Anna emphasized the importance of analyzing data to pinpoint specific issues, as DEI challenges are often nuanced.   In response to, “What's one red flag that signals a company has a DEI problem but might not realize it yet?” Sharon highlighted that relying solely on training is a warning sign, indicating a lack of deeper systemic change.   When asked, “What's the most common mistake people make when trying to fix DEI challenges?” Anna pointed out that companies often expect underrepresented groups to solve DEI issues simply because they belong to those groups, which can lead to tokenism instead of real progress.  Finally, to the question, “What's the fastest action someone can take today to make progress on DEI?” Sharon recommended conducting an organizational audit to uncover challenges and guide targeted action.  Links: Sharon Nyangweso  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thequakelab/  Links: Anna Radulovski  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annaradulovski/  Subscribe, listen, and rate/review Revenue Rehab Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts , Amazon Music, or iHeart Radio and find more episodes on our website RevenueRehab.live

We're talking about DEI programs and how they impact the very people they're meant to include, including people of color, LGBTQ people, individuals with disabilities and the elderly.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 8! Today's episode impacts AANHPI communities, but it's not necessarily solely focuses on our history. We're going to talk about The History of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. This is an extremely scary topic to some people… especially the leaders of the Republican Party in the U.S. If you believe what they rant about, DEI is at the heart of unqualified candidates, accidents, and probably hurricanes. But when you listen closely, you'll realize that as much as DEI has become a target, some of the people complaining the loudest actually don't know much about it. So we take a moment to explain what it is, the history, some myths, and the actual benefits and facts based on research. In our short recurring segment, we have a new one called The Message, where we give a short message… a call to action so to speak.  If you like what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.

Abbie and Adrian discuss the backlash against Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) programs amidst changing federal policies and ongoing cultural debates. They explore the tension between maintaining an inclusive workplace and the pushback against such initiatives, emphasizing the importance of open dialogue, factual evidence, and continuous learning. The conversation touches on "merit," the value of diverse voices, and the responsibility of businesses to foster inclusive environments and equitable practices. This episode offers a nuanced exploration of the challenges and opportunities in working together to create a better world. Read the transcript and notes for this episode on our website. Key Takeaways Diversity is a fact of nature and should be mirrored within workplace environments to promote inclusivity and equity. Policy shifts have impacted the traditional DEI landscape, raising questions about meritocracy and representation. Systemic biases are pervasive, and acknowledging personal biases is essential for fostering more inclusive spaces. Real progress requires open, honest, and sometimes tough conversations about race, equity, and inclusion in society. Leaders of companies and non-profit organizations should authentically communicate their stance on DEI issues, reflecting these values in their operations and cultures.

Even with both chambers of Congress at his disposal, Donald Trump continues to unilaterally bulldoze his way through government, consolidating power. At every turn the president flouts the proper channels and procedures necessary to accomplish his goals, and instead Trump chooses chaos. But it really doesn't have to be this way.

Murphy, and Chip Comstock discuss the critical importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within the fire service.

As of Tuesday, President Donald Trump has signed seven executive orders or proclamations related to DEI. They include ending virtually all such programs in the federal government, calling them "illegal," and "Ending racial indoctrination in K through 12 schooling." According to the Trump administration, that includes teaching "gender ideology and critical race theory" in the classroom.A number of private companies and institutions are following suit. Target, Google, Meta, Goldman Sachs, Deloitte, and PBS are just a few now changing or eliminating their DEI initiatives following Trump's orders.We explore what DEI actually means, and what happens when we just get rid of it.Want to support 1A?

Kemp and Fong agree. We need each other now more than ever. Steve Bannon predicted the strategy of this new administration. He declared, “We're gunna flood the zone with sh*t.” He was prophetic. The Zone has experienced a flash flood. The two Kens thought the new President's intent would be to drain the swamp - but the flash flood of Executive Orders, the defunding, the closures, the pardons have all had the intended effect. None of us, not the politicians, not the media, not the pundits - none of us can keep up. The two podcasters review several articles that have been illuminating. One tells the story of Hungary: Viktor Orbán's takeover of their vibrant democracy, turning it into an authoritarian state. The Atlantic published a thorough review of the history of Hitler's first 53 days - in which he dismantled Germany's democracy by using the Constitution to accomplish that goal. And then, V.P. J.D. Vance emerges as an amateur theologian, justifying the neglect of the marginalized by coming up with a “God-ordained hierarchy” that in essence, gets us off the hook for caring for our neighbors. It's a collaboration of the Two Kens to stay on the alert, speak the truth, and maintain our vigilance.

Those three leters - DEI - and what they stand for have been in the news cycle quite a bit this new year, but is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion now a bad idea? If you are anything like us, you probably have been having and hearing a lot of conversations on the topic of DEI, and you may be feeling a bit nervous about where we are and where we may be headed. As of Februrary 2025, these are my thoughts on how we can all do our part to make sure the principles of this work are not lost or unlearned.

On his first night back in the Oval Office, US President Donald Trump signed a series of sweeping executive orders that effectively dismantle federal diversity, equity and inclusion programs, and revoke a landmark Civil Rights-era anti-discrimination rule. This comes as major American companies, from McDonald's to Walmart to Meta, have been rolling back their own diversity policies, which have recently faced growing legal and cultural backlash.Does this spell the end of DEI? And what could that mean, in the US and beyond?Today Washington Post business reporter Julian Mark joins us to break it all down.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

I know many people are concerned or worried about the move to do away with DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives and programmes. Many see this as being detrimental to achieving equality, justice, and fairness. However, I offer a different perspective and talk about it in this episode. I also talk about how to embrace the change of facing job loss as a result of organisational change, particularly for those who work in the DEI space whose jobs are currently at threat.

By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan The bigotry embedded in Trump's plans to “Make America Great Again” is stark–purging people of color and LGBTQIA people, not only from employment in the federal government, but from public life.

https://linktr.ee/thunderinglegion Today we are continuing our monthly "Big Question" series where we wrestle with personal questions or questions submitted by listeners. Today we will be digging into the question "How should Christians in Military Think about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)?” Resources: Oath of Commissioned Officers Department of Defense Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Strategic Plan DELETED after recording - WhiteHouse.gov executive order: 2021/06/25/executive-order-on-diversity-equity-inclusion-and-accessibility-in-the-federal-workforce/ Commentary: Equity vs. Equality By Andrew Duffield, Ed.D AFIMSC Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Episode Notes: Why should anyone care about this question? How does our answer impact how we live our lives? Prevalent in any western society, including social institutions like the military. Military leaders will have to decide if they will promote DEI policies Clarify definitions from common sources: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility What can we all observe about this question based on the human experience, realities of life, nature, our consciences, etc. (Paint as wide of a brush as possible): Is diversity really unity? Is equality a guarantee? What does the Bible have to say about DEI? “No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of this life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.” 2 Timothy 2:4. Gospel is not fair - God always promised to save a remnant. Diversity - “After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.” Revelation 7:9. Equality vs Equity. Inclusion - Choice, parable of the talents How can we practically apply our answers to everyday life? Oath, Constitution, Christian Mindset, Stand on principle  Challenge: Continue asking big questions and seeing big answers. Be willing to follow the truth where it leads. Reflect: What does this episode reveal about God's character? How does this episode cause us to see our need for a Savior?  How can we apply lessons learned from this episode to our life? Follow Christ today: ✝️ “Choose this day whom you will serve...” ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭24‬:‭15‬ ‭✝️ “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬  Next steps: Share with an armed forces member Follow Instagram, Facebook, Podcast https://linktr.ee/thunderinglegion
