Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella outlined a commitment to increase diversity in representation and strengthen a culture of inclusion. We are fortunate to have two of the thought leaders helping to lead Microsoft's global channel inclusion strategy. Karen Fassio is the Director and head of Microsoft One Commercial Partner Group and is responsible for digital partner experience and operations, scale partner engagement and channel inclusion strategy. She is also a Co-Founder of Women in Cloud and has oversight of many programs and associations such as the IAMCP, WIC and BPGI. Regina Johnson is the strategy lead for Microsoft's Black Partner Growth Initiative, an initiative to increase Black representation within the Microsoft partner ecosystem. Karen believes that as a company, Microsoft holds itself accountable for the kind of impact they want to make in the world, and that includes rethinking their infrastructure, security protocols, as well as their partner ecosystem.Regina makes a point that you must first admit that there is a problem before you can truly solve or present a solution for diversifying key leadership or senior-level positions. She also believes that having honest conversations are a part of that first step. She makes it clear that for lasting change to take place, you must be ‘intentional'. This encompasses a foundational shift in both the mindset and culture of the organization. Karen furthers this point by stating how opportunities could be lost and the overall organization affected, including their partner ecosystem, supply chain, and customer base, all because of a lack of true representation. She stated that organizations on this journey cannot just bring in a single minority or underrepresented leader, and then expect there to be a magnitude of impact. The challenge will be to bring in at a minimum 3 key leaders. We must go beyond a quota and bring in the very best talent into these senior-level positions. We also ask Karen about her work with the Buck Leonard Foundation (www.buckleonard.org/) and to share about future growth initiatives. Please take a moment to listen to Episode 53: Leading a Campaign to rename the MVP, where we speak with Sean Gibson, the great-grandson of the legendary baseball player Josh Gibson.

I had a delightful interview with Stephanie Martin, who leads Microsoft's Partner Seller or "P-Seller" Program for the United States business. This episode should be of particular interest to those partners looking to better engage with Microsoft's US business in the field. The P-Seller program has gained significant momentum at Microsoft these last several years as Microsoft Sales leaders have focused greater emphasis on the importance of partners to help Microsoft customers along the digital transformation journey. "Partner Sellers" come in various forms and sizes from small SI's or System Integrators helping Microsoft customers deploy Microsoft Software as a Service (SAAS) Solutions such as Office 365 and Dynamics to Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) who have migrated their solutions to Microsoft's Azure Cloud and are delivering these cloud based offerings to specific vertical or point solution areas. In our discussion we dive in on the attributes of the program, recent changes, what makes a great "P-Seller" and how to engage with Stephanie and Microsoft's US Field Organization. Active Microsoft Partner Network (MPN) partners can access more details regarding the program here: https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/membership/partner-seller/about-the-program In each of my podcasts I spend a portion of the time discussing "the professional journey" and Stephanie's story should be particularly interesting to those earlier in career professionals. Stephanie is a 32 year old who joined Microsoft as a full time employee or FTE only after a five or six year journey working for vendors of Microsoft in various capacities. Stephanie's career journey is a great example of how one might enter a technology leader like Microsoft as a vendor and in her personal example "do great work, be recognized and be hired". I also wanted to note that Stephanie was part of a program at Microsoft for employees recognized for their potential - called "Next Steps" - and its where I got to better know Stephanie, her capabilities, capacity to grow and what really drives her. In addition, we discuss Stephanie's passions including her current mission to establish a Denver chapter of the International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners (IAMCP) Women in Technology segment. As I promised, here is the link to IAMCP and Women in Technology in this organization. Stephanie's Favorite Quote - "Play Hard, Work Hard, Dream Big!" And one of Stephanie's favorite books, "Your a Badass", by Jen Sincero. Stephanie can be reached at stepma@microsoft.com. You can follow her on Twitter at: @MeetStepma and on Instagram at: stephaniem2 I hope you enjoy this episode.
