When it comes to business events, particularly those where important and transformational relationships are formed, it's very common for them to not be inclusive -- particularly for people who, for whatever reason, don't engage in specific activities that are considered "norms" in these types of settings. A big part of inclusive marketing is challenging what is often considered to be "normal" in your quest to make more of the people you want to serve feel like they belong with you. In this episode, I sat down with Eman Ismail, an email marketing strategist and copywriter, and founder of Eman Copy Co, an email marketing microagency. We had a really insightful chat about her experiences feeling excluded by the norms at many events, and how it made her feel, as well as how it impacted her success. We also walk through practical examples for brands for how to create more inclusive events that enable more people to achieve success and feel like they belong with you.

Summary: In this episode, I discuss the often-uncomfortable realm of self-promotion for introverts, born from awkward experience. We are unlikely to be attention seekers who crave or even feel at home in the limelight, Being boastful is not in our nature, especially as it might serve to confirm the unwarranted perception that we are arrogant, I explore strategies that align with an introvert's core values, ensuring we can highlight our accomplishments and skills without compromising our authenticity. By embracing a more subtle and gentle approach to self-promotion, I uncover how introverts can stand out in our professional lives while staying true to ourselves.

« Rời phố về quê » phục hồi kỹ thuật thủ công thất truyền của người Khmer Trà Vinh, khởi nghiệp nông nghiệp hữu cơ theo hướng phát triển bền vững, thích ứng với biến đổi khí hậu trong bối cảnh ngập mặn tại địa phương. Đó chính là một vài nét nổi bật của thương hiệu Sokfarm (Nông Nghiệp Hạnh Phúc), với các sản phẩm từ mật hoa dừa tại tỉnh Trà Vinh, xứ dừa lớn thứ hai của Việt Nam, chỉ sau Bến Tre. Nếu như đất nước Canada có tiếng về mật cây lá phong, thì các nước trồng dừa cũng ngày càng được biết đến với sản phẩm mật hoa dừa, nhất là với xu hướng canh tác nông nghiệp hữu cơ để nâng cao giá trị sản phẩm, đồng thời góp phần chống biến đổi khí hậu và thích nghi với biến đổi khí hậu. Tại Việt Nam, cái tên nổi bật về mật hoa dừa là Sokfarm, với vài chục sản phẩm được chế biến từ mật hoa dừa hữu cơ, góp phần tạo sinh kế bền vững cho người yếu thế. Sau vài ba năm khởi nghiệp, các sản phẩm mật hoa dừa Sokfarm đã được xuất khẩu chính ngạch đến những thị trường khó tính như Nhật, Đức, Hà Lan, Mỹ.Người sáng lập và phát triển thương hiệu Sokfarm (Nông Nghiệp Hạnh Phúc) là chị Thạch Thị Chal Thi (kỹ sư chế biến thực phẩm), cùng chồng là anh Phạm Đình Ngãi (kỹ sư điện). Vào năm 2021, Sokfarm là doanh nghiệp duy nhất tại Việt Nam đoạt giải thưởng ASEAN Business Awards, mục Doanh nghiệp phát triển bao trùm - Inclusive Business, mô hình kinh doanh tạo lợi nhuận chung, tạo tác động xã hội, đóng góp vào giảm đói nghèo và phát triển bền vững thông qua việc gắn kết cộng đồng có thu nhập thấp.Để hiểu hơn về nghề thu mật hoa dừa và hành trình tạo tác động xã hội, ngày 15/01/2024, RFI Tiếng Việt đã có cuộc phỏng vấn chị Thạch Thị Chal Thi, người Khmer, giám đốc công ty TNHH Trà Vinh Farm với thương hiệu Sokfarm.RFI : Xin chào Thạch Thị Chal Thi, từ bỏ công việc tại các doanh nghiệp theo chuyên môn được đào tạo, chị và chồng là anh Phạm Đình Ngãi đã về Trà Vinh thành lập công ty TNHH Trà Vinh Farm với thương hiệu Sokfarm (Nông Nghiệp Hạnh Phúc). Do đâu mà anh chị quyết định « bỏ phố về quê » lập nghiệp và tại sao lại chọn sản phẩm về mật hoa dừa như vậy ? Thạch Thị Chal Thi : Khi mình làm gì cũng đều có cơ duyên. Chal Thi và Ngãi đều là những người đi học ở Sài Gòn, lúc đó quê hương của mình là Trà Vinh, vùng dừa lớn thứ hai Việt Nam, nhưng lúc đó dừa ở Trà Vinh để mọc mầm. Mình rất thương ba mẹ, thương dân làng bởi vì khi trồng lúa, bị biến đổi khí hậu, bị hạn mặn đã không thu hoạch được gì, tới khi trồng dừa thì có trái thì không có ai thu mua. Nên mình có suy nghĩ là mình còn trẻ, đi học nhiều rồi, ở lại Sài Gòn thì làm ở các tập đoàn cũng có, nhưng bây giờ chắc là lúc mình quay trở lại quê hương để làm gì đó cho cha mẹ, gia đình, quê hương và dân làng. Thế nên, hai vợ chồng quyết tâm rời phố, rời Sài Gòn để quay về Trà Vinh để bắt đầu dự án mật hoa dừa Sokfarm.  RFI : Chị có thể nói thêm về mật hoa dừa ? Khó khăn nhất khi làm nghề thu mật hoa dừa ở Trà Vinh là gì ?Thạch Thị Chal Thi : Chal Thi từ nhỏ đã lớn lên dưới tán dừa. Thật ra cây dừa có một ý nghĩa rất lớn đối với người Khmer Trà Vinh nói riêng và với đồng bằng sông Cửu Long nói chung. Thứ nhất là cây dừa cũng là loài cây phát triển cả ngàn năm nay ở đồng bằng sông Cửu Long. Thứ hai là cây dừa là cây thích ứng với tình hình biến đổi khí hậu, xâm ngập mặn của miền Tây. Miền Tây đang chịu hạn mặn, có nghĩa là mặn hiện giờ đã vào sâu 100 km ở Trà Vinh. Cây dừa cũng là một loài cây giúp cho người dân có kinh kế bền vững.Khi chọn ngành nghề mật hoa dừa thì cũng có những thuận lợi, những khó khăn. Thu mật hoa dừa là ngành nghề truyền thống của người Khmer thời xưa, nhưng mà do sản phẩm không được thương mại hóa nên nghề đã bị mai một cách đây khoảng 100 năm. Sokfarm kế thừa, tiếp nối lại ngành nghề truyền thống, đưa công nghệ vào chế biến sản phẩm, giống như đưa bản địa ra thế giới. Thuận lợi tiếp theo là nằm ở vùng nguyên liệu, Trà Vinh là vùng nguyên liệu dừa lớn thứ hai ở Việt Nam, nên nguyên liệu dồi dào.Còn khó khăn thách thức thì chắc chắn mình làm nghề nào cũng vậy, cũng có những thách thức riêng. Lúc Sokfarm ra đời, thực ra ngành nghề mật hoa dừa là hoàn toàn mới đối với thị trường và người tiêu dùng ở Việt Nam. Khi mình nghiên cứu dự án mật hoa dừa, thì căn bản do nghề đã bị mai một, nên mình cũng không biết kỹ thuật mat-xa hoa dừa thu mật thế nào. Mình cũng không biết chế biến mật hoa dừa thành các sản phẩm gì cho phù hợp với xu hướng tiêu dùng của Việt Nam.Sáu tháng đầu tiên do không biết mat-xa hoa dừa thu mật nên không thu được giọt mật nào hết. Từ tháng thứ 7 trở đi, do mình cũng xem video của bên Thái Lan, Philippines, Ấn Độ thì mới tham khảo lại được cách làm mat-xa hoa dừa thu mật từ những quốc gia đó, và từ đó trở đi thì mình mới thu được mật.Khi thu được mật xong làm gì ? Mình lại phải mày mò về kỹ thuật chế biến vì không có ai dạy mình, nhưng Chal Thi mạnh về nghiên cứu và phát triển sản phẩm do mình tốt nghiệp ngành công nghệ thực phẩm, nên mình cũng nghiên cứu phát triển được những sản phẩm thị trường đang cần.Sau chế biến sản phẩm thì đến bán hàng, nhưng khi đó ở Việt Nam không ai biết mật hoa dừa là gì, nên bán bằng cách nào? Khi đó mình cứ cần mẫn, có hội chợ gì thì mình tham gia giới thiệu sản phẩm, ở đâu có cuộc thi thì mình cũng tham gia nói về mật hoa dừa. Tháng 09/2019 thì sản phẩm mới ra đời, còn trước đó, thời gian nghiên cứu là 1 năm 9 tháng. Mặc dù mới ra đời được 3 tháng thì dịch Covid ập đến, nhưng do sản phẩm hợp với xu hướng tiêu dùng nên mỗi năm mình đều tăng trưởng 100%. Chỉ có năm 2023 thì tăng trưởng chậm lại một xíu do suy thoái tăng trưởng kinh tế toàn cầu. Hiện tại vấn đề lớn nhất là gì? Đó là đầu ra sản phẩm. Chal Thi và Ngãi đều là kỹ sư, kỹ sư thực phẩm và kỹ sư điện, nên chưa mạnh về bán hàng, nên cũng đang tìm kiếm để mở rộng kênh bán hàng, kênh xuất khẩu, để thu mua được nhiều mật của nông dân. Nên Chal Thi nghĩ hiện tại thì khó khăn nhất vẫn là mở rộng thị trường.  RFI : Sokfarm đã hồi sinh nghề truyền thống, kết hợp với những công nghệ mới như thế nào để vẫn duy trì được nét truyền thống của mật hoa dừa vừa đáp ứng được những tiêu chí mới về chất lượng, vệ sinh an toàn thực phẩm ?Thạch Thị Chal Thi : Hiện tại Sokfarm kết hợp với truyền thống và hiện đại. Truyền thống là người thợ vẫn đi thu mật hoa dừa, dùng tay mat-xa hoa dừa, sau đó dùng chày gõ lên hoa để thông tuyến mật bên trong, cắt hoa và hứng mật hoa. Đó là nét truyền thống, nhưng người thợ cũng tuân theo quy trình thu mật và chăm cây theo chuẩn hữu cơ mà Sokfarm đẫ đăng ký với bên chứng nhận hữu cơ. Sau khi thu mật thì mật được đưa về nhà máy chế biến.Sokfarm đang dùng công nghệ chế biến chân không, nấu ở nhiệt độ thấp 55-60 độ C, để giữ được dưỡng chất của sản phẩm mật hoa dừa và đồng đều được các mẻ sản phẩm, bởi vì khi xuất khẩu thì phải đảm bảo yêu cầu về giá trị dinh dưỡng, về sự đồng đều giữa các mẻ sản phẩm và thứ ba cũng đảm bảo yêu cầu tiêu chuẩn về vệ sinh an toàn thực phẩm của các quốc gia như châu Âu hay Mỹ. RFI : Theo Chal Thi, trên thế giới và chẳng hạn ở Đông Nam Á, mật hoa dừa đã phát triển ở mức độ nào rồi ?Thạch Thị Chal Thi : Ở những quốc đảo Thái Bình Dương, những nơi có trái dừa, và đặc biệt là tại châu Á, chẳng hạn Philippines, Ấn Độ, Sri Lanka, Thái Lan thì người ta đều biết cách thu mật hoa dừa. Trước năm 2023, căn bản thì thế giới cũng biết nhiều đến mật hoa dừa. Nhưng từ năm 2023 trở lại đây thì mật hoa dừa trở thành một trong những sản phẩm xu hướng tiêu dùng của thế giới, bởi vì hiện tại người tiêu dùng trên thế giới khi chọn sản phẩm thì họ chọn sản phẩm tốt cho sức khỏe, nhưng sản phẩm đó cũng phải tốt cho môi trường, khi sản xuất ra không làm ảnh hưởng đến môi trường và còn bảo vệ môi trường, sản xuất tuần hoàn, thu hoạch bền vững.Thế nên, hiện giờ, mật hoa dừa ngày càng trở thành sản phẩm có xu hướng tiêu dùng của thế giới, nhu cầu tiêu dùng ngày càng tăng, kể cả những nhà máy lớn hiện tại. Sokfarm cũng đang cung cấp nguyên liệu cho các nhà máy lớn. Họ mua mật hoa dừa về để thay thế đường tinh luyện để sản xuất các sản phẩm như snack dừa, thanh năng lượng, thanh protein, thanh sô cô la để xuất khẩu đi Nhật Bản, châu Âu. Hiện tại, thế giới chuộng những loại chất ngọt tự nhiên, không qua tinh luyện, có chỉ số đường huyết thấp, kể cả những người có vấn đề về đường huyết cũng có thể dùng, nên mật hoa dừa là sản phẩm có xu hướng tiêu dùng bền vững.RFI : Không chỉ mang lại hiệu quả kinh tế, Sokfarm còn được đánh giá cao về tạo tác động xã hội ? Xin chị cho biết thêm về những điều này ? Thạch Thị Chal Thi : Thực ra là Chal Thi và Ngãi hay nói là mình có phước, gặp được nghề thu mật hoa dừa, tìm kiếm được giá trị hạnh phúc của cộng đồng và bản thân. Lý do mình đặt tên Sokfarm là, Sok trong tiếng Khmer là hạnh phúc hoặc bình an. Sokfarm là Nông Nghiệp Hạnh Phúc. Mình hạnh phúc khi làm được cái nghề giúp cho người tiêu dùng khỏe và hạnh phúc, còn người nông dân thì rất hạnh phúc khi họ có được một nghề và có thu nhập ổn định mỗi tháng, đặc biệt là những người lao động yếu thế ở địa phương.Có những người không biết chữ, đặc biệt người Khmer, có những người chưa tốt nghiệp lớp 12, có người thì đã 55-60 tuổi, nếu họ có được một cái nghề như nghề thu mật hoa dừa để có thu nhập 6-10 triệu/tháng để nuôi gia đình thì họ quý ngành mật hoa dừa lắm, ví dụ chú Ray, một trong những người thợ thu mật hoa dừa ở Sokfarm, hỏi chú hạnh phúc là gì, chú nói hạnh phúc là được leo cây dừa thu mật mỗi ngày. Chú cũng 55 tuổi rồi. Bản thân mình là người sáng lập Sokfarm hay các anh chị em công nhân ở đây đều làm việc và hạnh phúc mỗi ngày vì mọi người cũng được làm việc thoải mái và có thu nhập ổn định để nuôi gia đình. Đó là giá trị của Nông Nghiệp Hạnh Phúc.Còn về cộng đồng, như hồi nãy Chal Thi có chia sẻ, thì từ khi bắt đầu tới giờ có nhiều thách thức lắm. Từ Covid, suy thoái kinh tế, kinh tế toàn cầu đóng băng, nhưng mà động lực để mình vượt qua tất cả là những người như chú Ray với hạnh phúc là được leo cây dừa mỗi ngày để thu mật. Có những chị nông dân nói là nhờ làm việc với Sokfarm chị có đồng lương nuôi con đi học, rồi có những người như Luân nói là “thoát nghèo bền vững rồi”. Đa số nông dân hợp tác với Sokfarm là hộ nghèo hoặc cận nghèo. Có những anh, nguyên gia đình chỉ có mình anh có sức lao động, là hộ nghèo, cận nghèo, anh đi thu hoa mật gánh gia đình 6 người.Thế cho nên Sokfarm luôn nói là mình phải làm tốt nhất, bán được nhiều hàng để quay lại liên kết với nông dân, tạo sinh kế cho dân làng. Đó là sức mạnh cộng đồng để mình vượt qua khó khăn, thách thức.RFI : Vậy Sokfarm góp phần thích ứng với biến đổi khí hậu thế nào? Thạch Thị Chal Thi : Ngành mật hoa dừa là một trong những ngành thích ứng với tình hình biến đổi khí hậu và xâm ngập mặn của miền Tây. Trà Vinh nói riêng là tỉnh giáp biển, còn về đồng bằng sông Cửu Long thì theo dự báo của các nhà khoa học, trong 30-50 năm nữa đâu đó sẽ có những nơi bị ngập 30% hoặc bị mặn xâm lấn, khi mặn vào thì cơ cấu cây trồng bị thay đổi hết, lúa cũng không phù hợp với độ mặn 2‰ (2 phần ngàn), cây lúa chết hết. Cây ăn trái như mít, sầu riêng, ổi, ca cao khi bị ngập mặn thì cũng không trồng được.Chỉ duy nhất có cây dừa là sống được với tình hình ngập mặn. Từ 7‰ đến 15‰ cây dừa vẫn sống, vẫn ra hoa, nhưng trái không đậu, trái non, hoặc trái rụng hoặc không phát triển được, dân gian gọi là trái dừa điếc. Khi xâm ngập mặn như vậy, chỉ cần dừa ra hoa là mình thu được mật hoa dừa, người nông dân có được sinh kế khi xâm ngập mặn xảy ra. Đó là những động lực để mình luôn hướng tới việc phải làm cho thật tốt, bán được thật nhiều hàng, để xây nhà xưởng lớn hơn, liên kết với nhiều hộ nông dân hơn.Sokfarm cũng đặt mục tiêu là đến năm 2030 liên kết được với 500 nông hộ, và đến năm 2035 liên kết được với 1.000 nông hộ. Thật ra một nông hộ là hai vợ chồng cùng làm, những đôi khi cũng có những nông hộ một người làm gánh 3-4-5-6 người, nuôi cả gia đình, nên mặc dù hiện giờ mình mới chỉ liên kết được với 30 nông hộ thôi, nhưng đến năm 2030 chắc chắn mình sẽ đạt được mục tiêu mà mình đã đưa ra, để tạo được giá trị cho cộng đồng nhiều hơn, tốt hơn và bền vững hơn.RFI Tiếng Việt chân thành cảm ơn chị Thạch Thị Chal Thi đã tham gia chương trình!

What being an LGBTQ+ ally really means & how it can help your business' long-term growth One of the most important things you can do as an entrepreneur is to ensure you are running an inclusive business. Not only is it the right thing to do as a human, but it can also help your business' long-term growth.  This has been a big initiative of mine over the past several years, and something that I've committed to daily.  But here's the thing. Many of the conversations about LGBTQ+ inclusion didn't start happening until pretty recently, so you still might have a lot of questions about the whole topic in general.  Heck, you might even feel intimidated about what it actually means to become an ally, and what an inclusive business looks like in real life – and guess what? That's OK! The fact that you're interested in learning how to create a world where everyone is valued and respected is a great place to start -- and here to answer all of your questions on how to run an inclusive business is my student, Hank Paul.  Hank is an award-winning wedding photographer, writer, Queer inclusion strategist, and creator of Authentic Allyship Academy, where they teach students how to inclusify their businesses and become confident and knowledgeable allies.  In this episode, they share:  Specific ways you can be more LGBTQ+ inclusive in your business How being LGBTQ+ inclusive help facilitate long-term business growth The biggest misconceptions that businesses have about LGBTQ+ allyship How to avoid being a performative ally, and become an authentic ally Plus much, much more! I promise, sweet friend, if you've wanted to become more inclusive in your business but have been unsure of where to start, then this episode is for you.  So pop in your earpods, grab a tasty beverage, and give this episode your full attention.  Here's a glance at this episode... [02:35] Today is all about LGBTQ+ inclusion and keeping it top of mind. [05:49] People are often afraid of saying the wrong thing. Hank says not to worry, mistakes are normal.  [07:03] Hank is a non-binary human living in Sydney, Australia. Their first business was wedding photography. In 2017, Hank came out and came out as a queer-owned business. [11:14] Hank now helps and empowers people to connect with LGBTQ+ businesses in an authentic way. [12:15] Supporting their community was a journey. Hank began supporting the wedding industry and has branched out in helping different markets connect.  [15:33] Think about your ideal community. What role does gender or sexuality play in the assumptions that you make? Have you missed out on people, because you haven't gone out of your way to be inclusive? [17:01] What's more important than describing the ideal avatar is finding the problems that they're dealing with and what they're afraid of. Focus Less on gender and assumptions, because that's not inclusive. [19:06] How can you broaden the scope of your avatar definition to go out of your way and communicate that you're inclusive? [20:13] Review the gendered language in your messaging and find alternative ways that are inclusive of all people. [22:20] Take the time to ask the question of whether is anyone being forgotten when you're speaking. [24:26] The opposite of authentic is performative. Pretending we're an ally is performative. Authentic allyship means actual impactful powerful allyship. [27:13] 20% of people 18 to 25 identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. You want your language and business model to include this 20% of the community. [29:53] Showing allyship is the right thing to do, and if you don't, you'll be left behind. It's important to keep your business healthy and growing for the next 10 years. [30:53] Misconceptions about allyship include: 1. Only queer people are qualified to talk about queer issues. 2. Having a queer friend or employee isn't enough. There's still a responsibility to do the work. 3. There's a misconception that allies always say the right thing. This just isn't the case. [35:44] Hank shares an example of misgendering and making assumptions. Use gender-neutral language like pronouns of they/them. [45:53] What can you do to make your business more LGBTQ+ inclusive?

Creating fair, just, inclusive business systems is Hana Mohan's ultimate goal, but she is as pragmatic as she is idealistic. In today's episode, Hana speaks openly about how her transgender identity has shaped her journey as an entrepreneur, why she doesn't believe in a product-led approach, and the importance of focus and continuous learning. She also shares her thoughts on bootstrapping versus capital raising approaches (both of which she has done herself). As Hana knows from personal and business experience, growth can be very painful in the moment but it is worth it in the long term.About Hana Mohan:Hana Mohan is the CEO & Co-founder of MagicBell, a plug-and-play notifications inbox aimed at app developers. Prior to this, she founded two other startups: SupportBee and Muziboo. Hana was the first openly transgender woman to go through Y Combinator and she has written extensively on transgender issues and entrepreneurship, covering topics like cis-passing, gender dysphoria, and HRT (hormone replacement therapy). Episode highlights: Don't just assume that if you have a good product, you will do well. Success comes through focus, so focus on what is important to you and what will take your business forward. (4:04) Experience can make people cynical. That's why there is so much value in maintaining a “beginner's mind.” Read, listen to podcasts, and spend time with people who you can constantly learn from. (05:14) Raising money (as opposed to bootstrapping, which also has its benefits) allows entrepreneurs to expand their horizons. Through the capital raising process, you can gain a better understanding of money, and the more money you have, the more you can achieve. Sell your vision! (11:30) There is so much money and so little churn up-market which means it is important to have a dedicated sales team and focus on up-market sales, rather than adopting a product-led approach. (19:56) You can't fight every battle. Dream big but also be pragmatic about what it takes to be successful. (26:40) Hana's best advice for entrepreneurs:“You achieve what you focus on.” (04:04) Don't assume that just because you have a good product or service, people will buy it. Success comes through being intentional about what you do with your time and energy.Connect with Hana: LinkedIn Twitter Website Follow Beyond 8 Figures: LinkedIn Twitter Website

In this episode, Camille welcomes Christine Wzorek, the creator of White Label Advisors which helps create a culture and inclusion of diversity within businesses to help them scale.“For me, it's never been about being in the position of authority.

What do we know about the status of women in leadership positions in business? We now know quite a lot, thanks to Dr Lama Moussawi, tenured associate professor and associate dean for research and faculty development at the Olayan School of Business, and her colleagues at the Center for Inclusive Business and Leadership for Women. Three years ago they launched the center to find out exactly how women fared in this realm, and how more women could be hired, promoted, and retained. She explains the results of their regional research in 11 Arab countries, what they know about why women are not treated as well as men, why inclusive companies do better than non-inclusive ones, and how they plan to expand women's roles in business and leadership in the years ahead.

I see people that look like me EVERYWHERE. In clothing shops, models, ads, in business, as mums... everywhere I look I feel like I'm a part of the conversation.. I'm included.. that I belong.But for so many other in our country (and the world) they don't see themselves represented. They don't see their skin colour or ethnicity shown.They don't see themselves in ads,or in the jobs they dream of,or on stages,or running successful businesses.And so in today's podcast episode I had the pleasure of interviewing Annie Gichuru. Annie is a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Coach and she shares how we as business owners, can take steps to helping the world to be a more inclusive and beautiful place.A place where people of all colours are represented, included and seen.I know you're just going to LOVE this episode.

    If you're ready to become an educator and teach what you're talented at, this episode is just what you need. Tune in to find out more!    Episode Introduction:  From being a high school teacher to starting her photography business to now helping creative business owners become efficient educators and hosting her own podcast, our guest today is  definitely a woman of many talents.    Episode Summary:  Join Laylee Emadi Smith as she walks us through her journey of becoming an educator, the lessons she has learned along the way, the challenges she has faced, and how she runs an inclusive business.    Main Takeaways: A great way to prepare for a career pivot is to build an emergency fund that would keep you financially covered while you find your next income source. Just because you don't fit the stereotype of a position, doesn't mean you don't deserve it. If it's possible, try and educate people about your diverse background instead of letting their lack of knowledge result in built-up resentment inside you. How to integrate diversity and inclusion in your business: Be properly educated about what that really means. Ensure that your business reflects representation. Be mindful of your messaging on your social platforms. Hire inclusion and diversity experts to educate yourself and your team. Expose yourself to other cultures. As an educator, try your best to meet your audience where they are. Never stop investing in your own continued education. To improve the delivery of your content, learn to pick up on your audiences' body language.   Fun Facts About Laylee Emadi Smith: Some of her favorite books are Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown and All Marketers Are Liars Tell Stories by Seth Godin.   Help us mentor other entrepreneurs through the power of storytelling by rating us and leaving a positive review on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/law-chat-with-girija/id1528580730   Get the FREE Five Day Legal Audit: https://yourcontractbuddy.com/5-day-free-legal-audit-challenge/   Join Law Chat for Entrepreneurs Free Facebook Community: ​​https://www.facebook.com/groups/lawchat   Find Laylee Emadi Smith: Website: https://layleeemadi.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laylee_emadi/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/layleeemadi Podcast: https://layleeemadi.com/category/podcast-episodes/ Get the visual experience, watch the videocast for the episode here: https://youtu.be/EfmvjSRN9uo   Connect With Girija: Website: https://www.gbplaw.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gbplaw/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GBPLaw/   Get Ready To Use Contract Templates At: https://yourcontractbuddy.com/

The nineteenth episode of the series features a conversation with Prof. Sourav Mukherji, Professor in the Organizational Behaviour & Human Resources Management area at IIM Bangalore, about the fundamental features of starting an inclusive business and the kind of challenges that aspiring social entrepreneurs can expect to encounter on the way. Much is said about the for-profit new age business models & their product innovations, latest technology, customer centricity, value creation &, more than anything, their rising valuations. In the midst of all this, a new breed of businesses is walking a tight rope by creating enormous value via solving some of the fundamental accessibility & affordability challenges for a customer segment that is usually ignored for its suppressed purchasing power & lack of disposable income. In this episode of the podcast, Prof. Sourav Mukherji further helps the listener understand the fundamental characteristics of inclusive businesses & the various challenges faced by them. While illustrating the need for such models, he also details the crucial role of leadership in creating the right culture in the organization to deliver maximum societal benefit.

I keep returning to the theme of values-based positioning on the podcast this year, going all the way back to episode 109 in February 2021.

Meaghan works as a Hiring Strategist and Team Leadership Consultant, helping to ensure businesses are hiring teams that share their visions and values in order to grow, build great partnerships, and create real change.

How can you change your company culture to be more inclusive? How can you create a more inclusive business overall? This is such an important topic, and these are questions that you should be asking yourself as a business owner. I have been thinking about this a lot recently with my diversity, equality, and inclusion coach and consultant, Erica Courdae, because I am working on making sure that my business is intentionally inclusive.  Erica is joining me in this episode to talk about creating a safe space, building an inclusive environment, and more. Erica Courdae has dedicated her life to expanding how others interact with the world through powerful conversations. As an entrepreneur and certified coach, her work is focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), imperfect allyship, and imposter syndrome.

Episode #84: Building and Inclusive Business with Christina SackeyfioThis episode is the audio recording of a session that took place within the Mamas & Co. community. Our members were deeply affected by the events that led to the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement around the world. It was clear, that as an international organization, and one that prided itself in being inclusive, we had to step-up and give our members, and ourselves, the opportunity to learn what we didn't know and grow by providing the platform for us to engage in uncomfortable conversations and ask the difficult questions.We asked Christina Sackeyfio of Boldly Inclusive to help us navigate the sensitive and highly important issues of diversity, inclusion and belonging. It was essential that we, as business owners and leaders create spaces where everyone, clients and employees, belong and can thrive. Christina shared her 5 pillars of building an inclusive business as well as answered hard-hitting questions from our members.This was an eye-opening talk, and it gave resources to help our members become better educated in systemic racism, the steps to take in becoming better allies, and how they can become better leaders in their own communities.
