Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Justin Smulison interviews Aaron Lukoni about the RIMS Canada Conference 2024, from October 6th through 9th in Vancouver, B.C.,  and IDEA thought leader Michael Bach about Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility. Michael opens up on his perspective on anti-racism and inclusion, and how to slow down the swinging pendulum so good practices can take hold. He shares how organizations can start with a diversity committee, but eventually, it has to be a paid role to create change in the organization.   Listen in for thoughts on following the data instead of opinionated pushback. Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMS and RIMScast. [:15] About this episode of RIMScast, coming to you from RIMS Headquarters in New York.

Aaron is making this cameo appearance on RIMScast to tell you what's coming up for the RIMS Canada Conference 2024. This may be the best RIMS Canada Conference ever! [3:01] Aaron Lukoni, welcome to RIMScast! [3:32] Aaron Lukoni is a Manager of Risk Services for Emergency Management, British Columbia. She handles wildfires, floods, and national events. She is a professional problem-solver for the Province of British Columbia. [3:52] By night, Aaron is the National Conference Chair for the RIMS Canada Council. Eight years ago, she started on a subcommittee. She has a passion for volunteering. Aaron will be hosting the RIMS Canada Conference in Vancouver B.C. from October 6th through 9th, 2024. [4:51] This RIMS Canada Conference will be great. It's in stunning Vancouver! It will be a dynamic program filled with insightful presentations and interactive thought leadership sessions.

[10:14] Review your organization's ERM program, and if you feel it was successful and you have the numbers and the data to back it up, compile that information and get ready to submit your ERM program for the ERM Award of Distinction. [10:31] My next guest, Michael Bach, is a leader in Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility, or IDEA. He has advised thousands of clients, served as the National Leader of DE&I for KPMG Canada, and was Deputy Chief Diversity Officer for KPMG International. He was named one of the 10 Most Influential DE&I Leaders Revamping the Future by CIO Views Magazine. [10:56] Michael was also honored as a Canadian Diversity Champion and Catalyst Canada Honors Human Resources and Diversity Leader. His best-selling books, Birds of All Feathers and Alphabet Soup, have received widespread acclaim. I am so excited to speak with him about all things IDEA and DE&I! [11:19] Michael Bach, welcome to RIMScast! [11:58] About Michael's name and Bach jokes. There is no known family relationship between Michael Bach and Johann Sebastian Bach. [12:50] Michael doesn't look at the work of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility as a social justice agenda but as a means to solve problems. How can Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility be applied to solve the challenges an industry faces? [13:12] Michael likes that the first letters of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility make the word IDEA. [13:56] Michael was brought up to recognize his privilege as a “cisgender white man” walking through the world with a level of access that wasn't experienced by a lot of people and that he had the responsibility to leverage that privilege to the benefit of others. He learned what that meant when he got into the corporate world and a variety of roles, and then his role at KPMG. [15:05] Michael realized that the organization was having challenges with talent retention and engagement and that the way to improve those things was through a focus on IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility). Michael was head of Diversity for eight years. It was a new role at KPMG. He then became the Deputy Chief Diversity Officer for KPMG globally. [16:11] After two years, Michael moved on to create The Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion and led that organization for 10 years. [16:50] Some employers understand that this is not a social justice agenda or about doing the “right thing”; it's good people management. It's a smart way to run your business. [17:16] Some organizations have done nothing about DE&I. Other organizations have dipped their toe in the water and backed away because of pushback from customers. You will always make some people unhappy. If your value statements mean anything to you, then a focus on IDEA should connect to those values and matter to you as an organization. [19:04] Michael talks about the approach TD Bank took with the LGBTQ market. They wanted to own the “pink dollar.” They spent a fortune sponsoring Pride festivals across the country. While some customers pulled away, TD Bank won a large percentage of the LGBTQ community. TD Bank is near the top financially in the country. [21:19] Michael does not think this is a worrisome time. He sees a natural progression of change. He brings up the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in the United States. Canada has the Employment Equity Act of 1984. This isn't a new conversation and these aren't new problems that will go away quickly. [21:49] Some organizations are backing away and Michael thinks they will regret it because they will have higher voluntary turnover rates, lower engagement scores, lower productivity rates, and higher rates of safety incidents. The data proves that if you're not focused on the diversity of your people and good people management, they're going to leave. Your costs will go up. [22:39] The organizations that back away from IDEA are going to be at Michael's doorstep in five to 10 years asking for his help. The organizations that haven't taken their foot off the pedal will be crushing their competition. This work requires you to constantly have your foot on the gas pedal, or you will roll backward. [24:05] How do organizations today compare to how they were in 2019? Michael talks about 2020 with George Floyd and thousands of bodies of Indigenous children found in unmarked graves at the sites of residential schools across Canada. Those were pivotal moments when, for the first time, people wanted to talk about anti-racism. Those moments drive change. [24:56] Four years later, people are saying we don't need anti-racism. Governments are banning DE&I offices. Within a week after George Floyd was killed, Michael's phone at CCDI, where he was working, was lighting up with employers asking for help with anti-black racism. CCDI put out extensive training programs and policies. But the pendulum swings back. [26:18] Michael's goal is to keep the pendulum from swinging that far. We want it to swing slowly. That allows for the change to take hold. Right now, the pendulum has swung too far. Michael advises every employer to turn to the numbers before taking a step back from IDEA. Look at what the data tells you. [27:10] A recent study posted on CNN found that 76% of Americans believe in LGBTQ+ equality. Look at that number when you decide if you should be supporting a Pride festival. Use data to prove points. Do not use opinion. We have more data now that answers the questions. [28:54] Time for more RIMS Plugs! The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal is to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals; that is achieved in part by a collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the United States and Canada. The call for General Grant applications is open now through July 30th. General Grant Awardees are typically notified at the end of October. [29:22] The link to the application criteria is in this episode's show notes. [29:28] On September 12th, 2024, we look forward to seeing you at the Spencer Funding Their Future Gala at the Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. Our recent guest from Episode 293, Lilian Vanvieldt-Gray will be our Honoree. Lilian is the Executive Vice President and Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at Alliant Insurance Services. [29:53] Lilian will be honored for her valuable contributions to supporting the future of risk management and insurance. That was a great episode, so after you finish this one, go back and listen to Episode 293! [30:07] Let's conclude our interview with Michael Bach! [30:44] Diversity Committees are a great place for organizations to start in the IDEA world. You're taking a group of people from across the organization and giving them the reins of change. Institutional knowledge is important for this effort because you know how things happen in your organization. You don't have to be an expert in IDEA. [31:41] Committees need to be formalized and span the entire organization. Committees are working bodies, they are not governing bodies. You need people on the committee who can do the work. You want to consider every aspect of diversity on the committee and have somebody from every department and every area branch. [33:08] Make sure that you formalize the committee in such a way that they don't get out of control. Give them rules to follow so they know where they can draw the lines. What are the roles on the committee? How do people get on the committee? How are people recognized for their participation on the committee? What is their authority level? To whom do they report? [33:48] Some committees don't have that kind of structure and they go off the rails and do things that the organization desperately tries to undo. This could be a sponsored event that doesn't align with the strategy of the organization or education programs that HR doesn't know about. You have to put lines around the committee so they know what is out of their scope. [34:40] Connect the committee with all departments of the organization, such as HR, so the committee is working with them and not against them. [35:09] Eventually, an organization outgrows a volunteer-run committee. Make sure there is turnover on the committee to avoid burnout. At some point, you will have to hire someone like Michael to do the work. Work is done for pay. [36:35] Michael's thoughts on Pride Month, 2024. There are so many speaking events in June, that every July 1st, Michael says he just has to “wash the gay off,” because it is at such a high level. He is seeing something he's been hoping to see for some time: organizations that are recognizing they need to talk about the inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community outside of June. [37:51] It's important to have designated months as visible symbols of inclusion to recognize communities, but people belong to their community all year, not just during one month. We need to be inclusive year-round. There is an extensive calendar of things that we could be celebrating so it doesn't become a thing where we change our logo for a month. Be broadly inclusive.

Exploring the concept of I D E A in workplaces, that exclusion has a cost, and how one small change can make a world of difference and bring us closer to more inclusive businesses with IDEA Thought Leader, Michael Bach. You're listening to episode 35 of the Happy Space Podcast. Today we're exploring the idea that I D E A is a business imperative with thought leader and fellow word nerd, Michael Bach. Veteran advocate Michael Bach shares his insights on I D E A - inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility, and why what we call it matters less than the actions we take. Not only have we been ineffective, for example, we've had years of antibias training that hasn't worked, many actions can be considered performative.

Cryptocurrency has often been seen as an unregulated environment but, as its use cases move more mainstream, it is clear that there are significant regulatory issues when dealing with crypto. Together with our tax and accounting experts, we will examine the relevant issues when: An organisation buys crypto as part of corporate treasury, ie. to keep it on the balance sheet. Companies like Tesla, Block (Square) and Microstrategy have famously done this to diversify risk. They are now being joined by other organisations, including recently KPMG Canada. An organisation accepts crypto in payment for goods or services. Companies like AT&T in the US have been doing this for a while and there is a trend for companies to be more open to this in Australia. An organisation pays its staff partly/wholly in crypto, such as is being done by Australian tech success story, Finder. An organisation issues crypto tokens to staff as incentives like a traditional ESOP but with tokens. We have recently supported an organisation to do this and, interestingly the token options were valued more highly by the staff than the equity options. Please join this fascinating session with Damien Jones, Partner & Head of Accounting Advisory Team, EY and Greg Reinhardt, Partner and Head of Tax, Norton Rose Fulbright, AustraliaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

KPMG Canada has been very active in the Web3 space, not only advising clients but also on its own behalf, buying NFTs and cryptocurrencies. Most notably, the partnership bought Bitcoin and Ether to hold on the KPMG balance sheet as part of corporate treasury diversification strategy. They followed this up by paying almost $50,000 to buy an NFT, Woman #2681 to be exact.  We speak to the Managing Partner to find out why an organisation like KPMG would be buying digital assets to hold on its own balance sheet. The answers may surprise you but it is certainly an impressive vision from this leading professional services firm. In fact it may lead you to think differently about digital assets and your own balance sheet.  Links: KPMG websiteSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bill Kelly Podcast: Based on his recent policy decisions and politics, what does Doug Ford's re-election platform look like? ALSO: Early impressions of Charest comments & Leger Poll on CPC leadership race GUEST: Peter Graefe, Professor of Political Science with McMaster University - Since Russia invaded Ukraine two weeks ago — shelling several major cities, hampering efforts to evacuate and causing the deaths of at least 400 civilians so far —  India has abstained on every United Nations vote condemning Russia's actions. These include votes at the UN Security Council, the UN General Assembly, the UN Human Rights Council and at the International Atomic Energy Agency. India's stance invoked the opprobrium of the overwhelming majority of its allies in NATO countries, including the U.S., with whom it has been forging a deeper strategic alliance in recent years, bolstered by their common concern over increased Chinese incursion into the Indo-Pacific region. India's need for Russian arms to defend itself is the main reason India refused to vote against Russia at the UN, says Srinath Raghavan, professor of political science at Ashoka University in Gurgaon, India. GUEST: Dr. Anita Singh, Fellow with the Centre for the Study of Security and Development at Dalhousie University - Canadian workers have spoken: they don't want to return to the office full time, and they'll move on if their employer orders them to. A recent Amazon Business survey of 1,595 Canadian office workers found flexibility is increasingly important, to the point that two in five said they would look for a more flexible job if mandated to come back in person full time. And if a prospective employer mandated full-time in-person work, more than half would be less likely to accept a job offer. GUEST: Silvia Gonzalez-Zamora, Partner with KPMG Canada

Opinions divided as KPMG Canada's treasury adds BTC & ETHThe race to integrate cryptocurrencies into the global banking network is real. The digital asset marketplace recently reclaimed or rather surpassed the $2 trillion mark. The sheer valuation was one of the reasons for the unprecedented traction. A report published by KPMG, one of the ‘Big Four' accounting organizations had published a report to highlight the same.According to the company's biannual Pulse of Fintech report, investment in crypto and blockchain surged to $30 billion in 2021. In 2018 the figure stood at $8.2 billion, with 2019 recording a figure of $5.6 billion and $5.5 billion in 2020.https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjbwj5/what-are-nft-explainer-meaning-cryptoNFTs, Explained for People Who Still Don't Get ItEven if you've been living under a rock since the pandemic started, you've probably still heard some chatter about non-fungible tokens (NFTs). It's hard to ignore the hype, when someone can make a million bucks taking unassuming selfies.It's also nearly impossible to ignore the skepticism and heated criticisms surrounding the budding product, such as NFT plagiarism (also known as copyminting), NFT scams, and the environmental cost of blockchain operation.https://www.pcmag.com/news/feds-seize-36-billion-in-bitcoin-tied-to-bitfinex-hack-from-2016?taid=6202b6a4ac837c00013657c2&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Manual&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebookFeds Seize $3.6 Billion in Bitcoin Tied to 2016 Bitfinex HackUS federal investigators seized $3.6 billion in bitcoin originally stolen in the 2016 hack of Bitfinex, a major cryptocurrency exchange.The Justice Department arrested two New York-based suspects—34-year-old Russian-US national Ilya Lichtenstein and his 31-year-old wife Heather Morgan—for allegedly trying to launder the stolen funds, which totaled 119,754 bitcoins.

Ethereum and other major cryptocurrencies, including Binance's BNB, solana, cardano and XRP, saw similar volatility. Crypto prices have rebounded over the last week but remain highly volatile.https://www.betechwise.com/best-metaverse-cryptocurrency-to-buy/10 Best Metaverse Cryptocurrency to Buy in 2022There has been a lot of hype surrounding Metaverse cryptocurrencies since 2021. This has a lot to do with the rebranding of Facebook to Meta. Being one of the largest technology organizations in the world, Facebook created instant appeal for a market that has seen many technical improvements since 2019.In fact, towards the end of 2021, the Metaverse cryptocurrencies were among the best performers. Some of them generated profits of over 10,000% for the year. With many positive projections surrounding the Metaverse, it appears that Metaverse cryptocurrencies could outperform the market this year.https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/https://coinmarketcap.com/Please subscribe, like, and share so that more and more people can view this content.DISCLAIMER: I will never give any financial advice.

Chris Spurvey is the author of It’s Time to Sell: Cultivating the Sales Mindset. After consciously choosing the sales profession as a means to create a better life for his family. Chris realized that negative images of sales were holding him back. By shifting his mind-set, Chris was able to transform his “inner game” and use his innate values and talents to become a top sales professional. Chris joined a boutique IT consulting firm in 2006 and spearheaded its growth to the point it was acquired by KPMG Canada in 2013, where he now serves as the VP of Business Development for Atlantic Canada. He has delivered talks throughout North America on cultivating the sales mindset. Main Questions Asked: What do you consider the characteristics of a good salesperson? Where does the sales mind-set come in? What do you consider social selling? What do you attribute your success to in LinkedIn? Key Lessons Learned: Sales Sales has changed, social media and the ability to educate ourselves has made selling different in the modern day. A salesperson used to have to be highly manipulative since it was a very competitive environment. The psyche of the buyer has changed, they have more defenses in place against that kind of sales process. Being authentic and caring about the customer is more effective today. Sales are the means to acquire the skills of the entrepreneur. Many people struggle because of their preconceived notions of what selling means. Sales is about being of service, problem solving, and finding ways to bring people your true value. When you change your mindset around sales it will feel much more natural for you. Social selling is the way people are educating themselves via the web and the signals they are giving off. It’s about looking through the eyes of the buyer and connecting personally. If you want to grow your business you have to focus on those platforms as a strategist with intention. Stick with the platform that works best for you. Mindset There are only two major ways to change, either something emotionally impactive or forced repetition and adjusting what you see on the “screen of your mind”. Chris formulated a motto that allowed him to focus on the energy of progress instead of just the numbers. He celebrated the small wins and focused on building relationships and the progress. Changing your mindset can bring your life more happiness at the same time as make your sales process easier. Now matter what stage your life is in, there is always a box around you determined by your mindset and perceptions. LinkedIn After creating his profile as a place to put his resume, Chris realized that LinkedIn was a great multiplier effect. He used LinkedIn as a way to network with other IT consultants after learning about them personally. Later on, LinkedIn became a publishing platform for Chris and allowed him to start giving value to the people who would later on become his network. Chris has seen that posts have been the most effective effort that he has been putting in, many of which are focused on sharing the multidimensional aspects of his personality. It helps to show yourself as a person who is relatable and not just aa brand. Creating a nice flow and congruity between your LinkedIn profile and your website is a good way to generate leads. LinkedIn groups are hit or miss at this point. People are on LinkedIn to promote themselves but they also bring the other aspects of their life and the problems they want to solve. It’s not always about professionalism, there is space to connect. Final Tips Sales doesn’t have to be salesy. If you change your mindset towards sales, it can be your greatest tool for growing your business. When it comes to personal branding, don’t be afraid to share the other aspects of your life. LinkedIn is for more than just your resume, try connecting with people on a personal level first. Thank you for listening!

Often the loudest voice is the one that can't be heard by others. It's the voice that not so quietly plays inside our heads. And if we're not careful that voice will consume and debilitate us. Chris Spurvey is all about the sales mind-set. Chris is the author of It's Time to Sell: Cultivating the Sales Mind-Set. After consciously choosing the sales profession as a means to create a better life for his family, Chris realized that negative images of sales were holding him back. By shifting his mind-set, Chris was able to transform his “inner game” and use his innate values and talents to become a top sales professional. Chris joined a boutique IT consulting firm in 2006 and spearheaded its growth to the point it was acquired by KPMG Canada in 2013. Upon the acquisition he realized he had an innate desire and ability to inspire and equip non-sales sellers and new sales professionals with the tools to attract clients. He has delivered talks throughout North America on cultivating the sales mind-set. We all have a vision for our lives: for our career, our families, our health, and our happiness. Wouldn't it be great if we could articulate that vision and discover the right mind-set to enable that vision to come to life? Chris helps people in the sales profession, future salespeople, and entrepreneurs to achieve exactly that.
