DEI is Broader Than Just Race - Dyann McDowell emphasizes that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) isn't only about race—it includes disability, body type, age, religion, and more. Creating inclusive workplaces means considering everyone's needs.Eric here. I sit down with Dyann McDowell, a seasoned HR professional and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) expert with over 25 years of experience. Dyann shares her journey from traditional HR training to her pivotal role in DEI—well before it became a mainstream corporate focus. Together, we talk about the most pressing challenges facing today's workplaces: the evolving meaning of DEI beyond race, the resurgence of incivility, and why genuine inclusion and civility are more critical than ever.Dyann brings a fresh, honest perspective on what's working and what isn't in DEI, highlighting the danger of divisive tactics and the importance of true conversation and curiosity. She draws from personal and professional stories—from lessons on privilege to the very real impacts of workplace culture—to illustrate how organizations can move past surface-level initiatives and create truly welcoming, high-performing environments.Hear more about Dyann's latest project, “Civility Unleashed,” a new framework designed to help organizations not only address but transform toxic workplace behavior, build accountability, and foster real, sustainable change. If you're passionate about the future of work—or just want to be inspired by a candid, solutions-oriented leader—this episode is a must-listen.Here are three key takeaways that stood out to me:DEI Goes Beyond Race: Dyann emphasizes that diversity, equity, and inclusion aren't just about race. True DEI means considering all forms of difference—ability, size, age, gender, and more—to ensure everyone feels like they belong and can contribute fully.Civility Is a Business Necessity: The rise of toxic workplace behaviors and incivility isn't just a social or moral issue—it's a bottom-line problem. Dyann shares that only 16% of today's workforce is actively engaged, and uncivil behavior is a top driver of disengagement and turnover. Building a respectful, civil culture is non-negotiable for organizational success.Curiosity and Civil Discourse Matter: One of the most compelling parts of the discussion was the urgency to bring back curiosity and civil discourse. Dyann advocates for workplaces where difficult conversations happen with empathy and openness, rather than judgment or division. “If we're not opening up the conversation, then we're not advancing.”Key Moments04:12 DEI's Future Post-Election Analysis06:31 "Glasses and Unfair Blame"10:33 Generational Privilege and Education13:20 Debate Over Wilson School Naming17:20 Reevaluating Affirmative Action Beliefs19:41 Misconceptions About DEI22:32 "Curiosity Deficit's Societal Impact"27:42 "Six-Second Rule in Decision-Making"29:20 Rise in Workplace Misconduct Cases34:33 "Superstars' Behavior Excused at Work"35:39 Leadership's Impact Flows Downward44:50 Owning Mistakes with Grace45:44 Empowering Employees Against Microaggressions48:55 "Empowering Employees Through Constructive Dialogue"52:45 "Understanding Emotional Intelligence"55:54 "Leaning In to Listen and Learn"59:11 "Divine 3 AM Mosaic Vision"Dyann McDowell is a powerhouse in the world of Human Resources and Training.

What started as a simple favor - answering a CEO's question - turned into a writing gig, then a speaking opportunity, and ultimately a thriving consultancy. With roots in a family of General Motors workers and a background in psychology and employment law, Diane Faulkner, Founder of Human Resources, Made Easy, has become a trusted partner for small businesses navigating the complexities of people management. Unlike the scripted responses of corporate HR hotlines, Diane brings something refreshingly different: decades of hands-on HR expertise, empathy grounded in real-world experience, and a sharp eye for compliance. In a wide-ranging discussion on the A Better HR Business podcast, Diane and I talked about: ✅ Her journey from corporate HR executive to founder of Human Resources Made Easy, and what it really takes to go independent. ✅ How writing and public speaking became powerful tools to grow her consulting business. ✅ The most common HR compliance misconceptions small business owners face. ✅ Why tasks like I-9 audits, employee handbooks, and contractor classifications often trip up small businesses. ✅ How Diane's hands-on experience sets her apart from larger, impersonal HR call centers. ✅ The role of networking (both in-person and on LinkedIn) and content creation in building a client base. ✅ Her book “Don't Get Sued, Get Smart” and the critical HR laws small business owners often don't know they don't know. ✅ And much more!

Employment lawsuits in the U.S. remain a problem. A recent survey found that 37% of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) had faced an employee lawsuit in the past year. While large corporations have legal teams at the ready, small businesses often depend on a single, dedicated HR professional juggling everything. That's why Adam Daines, Founder and CEO of ADDA, didn't just observe the AI revolution in HR - he and his team created MyHRAlly: a secure, closed AI platform built specifically to empower HR teams in small and mid-sized businesses. AI isn't here to replace people. It's here to relieve HR teams from the flood of administrative tasks, so they can focus on what truly matters: fostering trust, driving innovation, and enabling growth within their organizations. In a wide-ranging discussion, Adam and I talked about: ✅ The challenge of pricing HR consulting, especially with unpredictable employee relations. ✅ How employees today are more aware of their rights, thanks to online resources and legal advertising. ✅ The complexity of delivering HR services across multiple states with different employment laws. ✅ MyHRAlly, the AI-driven HR platform Adam and his team developed. ✅ Why AI in HR should support - not replace - the human element. ✅The role of strategic partnerships in scaling MyHRAlly. ✅ And much more.
