Episode 272: Overcommitting begins one "yes" at a time -- until you have said yes SO many times you run out of hours in the day. This is especially dangerous if you are overcommitting to volunteering.

This week, I spoke with Kelsey Casselbury, PCM, CDMP of the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) about the lessons she has learned from her own experiences volunteering. She learned quite a lot when she agreed to be the chief volunteer leader of TWO nonprofit organizations during the 2020 lockdown. And yes, both organizations relied on in-person events for revenue. Are you gasping yet? Kelsey also shares her advice from the staff perspective about helping our organization's volunteers have a balanced schedule of volunteering. You don't want to miss this one!

In Episode 84 of Crime and the Courtroom, John Collins explores why forensic science is distinct from traditional sciences and often misunderstood. He examines how forensic methods—such as fingerprint and bullet comparisons—are rooted in stochastics, the study of randomness and unique patterns. Addressing past criticisms, Collins argues that forensic science is a leading preventer of wrongful convictions, not a cause of them. He calls for forensic professionals to uphold ethical standards and embrace their field's scientific legitimacy. This episode provides crucial insights for those interested in forensic evidence, justice, and the evolving role of expert testimony.

In this inaugural episode of Crime and the Coutroom, John Collins shares what he describes as "the craziest case I ever experienced in a forensic science laboratory." As he explains, sometime in late 1995 or early 1996, John conducted what started as a routine forensic analysis of a firearm used by a police officer in a shooting invovling an armed suspect. As it turned out, nothing about the case was routine, and the experience helped to galvanize John's perspectives on the risks of policing and the greater risks of dysfucntional police culture. John closes with some encouragement for police organizations doing their best to enable healthy, productive, supportive, and efficient organizational environments for their sworn and civilian team members, as well as the communities they serve.

On July 9th, in a statement on LinkedIn, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), announced its decision to drop the "E" from DEI. SHRM is the world's largest HR association dedicated to creating better workplaces that "work for all," and positions itself as being "the voice of all things work." SHRM's statement on LinkedIn said: "While we shift to I&D, our commitment to advancing equity remains steadfast. Equity will be integrated under the broader inclusion framework, continuing to be a priority in our strategy and leadership decisions." If you have read my most recent book, Imagine Belonging, you know the true ingredients required to make a commitment – one of those ingredients is being able to say out loud what you are committed to. Using this logic...a commitment to equity can't be real if we're afraid to say it. When the announcement was first made, I immediately knew who I wanted to talk to...the person who wrote the bestselling book on the topic of equity, Minal Bopaiah. Minal had a lot to share, and as she was offering her take, I thought to myself, "why not turn this exchange into a podcast episode?" When I invited Minal to the show, she was all in! I'm excited to welcome you to this exclusive interview with Minal Bopaiah, Brevity & Wit Founder and bestselling author of Equity. Minal combines her experiences and interests in human-design, DEI, psychology, and strategic communications to help her clients achieve the change they desire.   During our conversation, you'll:   --Discover why prioritizing inclusive behaviors alone will set your colleagues up for failure if they lack the systems and structures to support these practices. --Explore the unintended consequences of SHRM's decision on entire programs, positions, and departments that have the word "equity" in their titles. --Gain insights on how to respond to objections and push back that employers and colleagues may have, feeling emboldened because of SHRM's recent decision.   Today's conversation is designed to support people like you – visionary people leaders, and those on their way to joining us. Savor this insightful talk, and if you're looking for more ways to connect with inspiring leaders like Minal, be sure to join the Belonging Membership Community. The Belonging Membership Community is a practice space where we can try putting our shared values of belonging, community, collaboration, and joy into action.

There's been a growing backlash against DEI programs in recent years. But for meetings and events, diversity, equity, and inclusion is still important.  For planners, the goal is to expose attendees to a wide range of viewpoints, and for everyone to feel connected – regardless of the political environment.  “We've made DEI this big scary thing,” said Dr. Brandi Baldwin, an organizational and leadership psychologist and CEO of Millennial Ventures. “You don't do DEI. Just be someone who honors differences. Be someone who is willing to show up as your authentic self and allow others to show up as their authentic self, even if they vote for a different political party than you do. That's where I think the opportunity lies,” she said on the Skift Meetings podcast. Some organizations are doing it better than others. “Some companies will say we're all about diversity, equity, and inclusion, and it's really a misrepresentation,” said Bea Boccalandro, who advises corporate boards and executives on social purpose issues. “And then there are other corporations that are less public about their DEI efforts but “are just full throttle ahead,” she said on the podcast. The urgency of DEI programs ebb and flow. After the murder of George Floyd, there was a rallying cry about the importance of these initiatives. Recently, there have been some headwinds, they said. Decades of research show diverse companies are more engaged leading to financial success. As a result, most are committed to a culture that supports DEI. For many, meetings and events are a place to start. By including speakers and attendees from different backgrounds a variety of thought will be offered.   “We've made DEI this big scary thing,” said Baldwin. “You don't do DEI. Just be someone who honors differences. Be someone who is willing to show up as your authentic self and allow others to show up as their authentic self, even if they vote for a different political party than you do. That's where I think the opportunity lies,” she said. Boccalandro cites a Pew Research Center survey in which 56% of those surveyed said that focusing on increasing DEI at work is a good thing. She admits that “DEI washing” does happen in corporate America. “Some companies will say we're all about diversity, equity, and inclusion, and it's really a misrepresentation,” said Boccalandro. And then there are other corporations that are less public about their DEI efforts but “are just full throttle ahead,” she said. What's in a Name? The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the world's largest human resources organization, created an uproar when it announced it was dropping the word equity from its inclusion, equity, and diversity focus. Its new acronym is now I&D which stands for inclusion and diversity. Boccalandro says it's important not to get hung up on the terms but “the initiative and efforts behind them.” Keep it Simple Baldwin stresses that DEI doesn't have to be overly complicated. “We've made DEI this big scary thing. You don't do DEI. Just be someone who honors differences. Be someone who is willing to show up as your authentic self and allow others to show up as their authentic self, even if they vote for a different political party than you do. That's where I think the opportunity lies,” she said. Explore the business of events on our website, www.skiftmeetings.com and follow us on social media.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again:AI isn't smart, it's fast.It can't "take" your job, especially if you're staying on top of things. Yes, there's a steep learning curve to using generative AI. But if we're honest, that curve is less about the technology and more about the fact that humans are just naturally obstinate creatures.To help drive this point home, we're on with Ray Hayden, Senior instructional designer at the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM to its friends), who shares his thoughts on why it can be hard to learn something new, and why the success of AI is impossible without the human touch.

Drastically improve your process for hiring people AND applying for a job. Starting today. Post-COVID the science of interviewing has advanced radically. Today's guest, Anna Papalia, is a career influencer and TikTok Interview Expert that lays so many game-changing truths on us. Because 90% of hiring managers aren't trained on how to interview, they fall prey to their implicit bias when judging candidates and making hiring decisions.
