Motivation is knowing your message is bigger than you. The power of a zig-zaggy path in life, career, and work. The temptations of (and the fault in) the shiny objects. The defining characteristic of curiosity. Leadership: Not a destination but a way of being. The power of doing the work and showing your clients what's possible. Lovingly using the phrase "shit-show." Providing epiphanies and Ah-Ha moments to others. The importance of your North Star. Words of the Year: "Fuckery" & "Experiment."

Mark McBride-Wright, author of "The Safe Leader" and Founder & CEO of EqualEngineers, joins Jennifer,  Jenn T. Grace of Publish Your Purpose, and Eduardo Placer of Fearless Communicators to discuss the critical importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in the engineering and STEM fields. Mark shares his journey of writing the book, the support he received from Jennifer, Jenn and Eduardo along the way, and his mission to change the culture in engineering to one where everyone can feel safe to bring their whole authentic selves to work. The group explores how creating psychological safety is key to making progress on DEI goals and reducing the unacceptably high rates of suicide and mental health struggles prevalent in the engineering industry today. Mark's work provides a new vocabulary and framework for tackling these challenges and has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach DEI across all industries.

Writing and publishing a book is a time-consuming, laborious and courageous process. It involves much more than writing, editing, proofreading, and uploading a manuscript. First-time authors quickly realize that there is much to learn and navigate within the publishing industry. To teach us more about just what it takes to publish a book, we're joined by book publisher, Jenn T. Grace of Publish Your Purpose.  Jenn is an award-winning author, nationally recognized speaker, and savvy publishing strategist. She founded Publish Your Purpose, an acclaimed hybrid publishing company that gives first-time authors the secrets to getting their books written, finding an eager audience, and marking their place in the publishing world.  “Make sure that your purpose is what everything is centered around because there are so many points in the process where it's very easy to give up.” -Jenn T. Grace  Key points in Jenn's story that are highlighted in this episode:  How having an “I can figure this out” attitude and taking advantage of strategic opportunities led her from corporate work to book publishing  How to bring the most value to the world by having a clear why and a clear purpose in your work  Understanding key questions and goals for authors when deciding how to publish their work and what publishing direction they should take  Like a lot of us, Jenn started in the corporate world right out of college, working for an insurance company. But within a month of working there, she experienced homophobia in the workplace, and that led her to start a consulting company to help other companies market to the LGBTQ community in a sincere and authentic way and ultimately writing four books on LGBTQ marketing and communication.   From her experience in publishing her own books, a series of events and a bombardment of “How did you do this?” led her to create a course to teach authors how to get their books published, and eventually to start her own publishing company.  Jenn is currently actively involved with the HAYVN community and as a fan of the programming around sustainability, she admires the measures HAYVN has taken to achieve its level of sustainability and receive certified B Corp status (just as she has)! .  Connect with Jenn T.

The Inclusive Language Handbook: A Guide to Better Communication and Transformational Leadership, by Jackie Ferguson and Roxanne BellamyWhen Jenn T Grace was giving keynotes or providing consulting work, she always led with her queer identity.  She had even branded herself as The Professional Lesbian and wrote four books around LGBTQ+ specific topics. But one day she felt like it was an albatross around her neck, and she was so much more than what she was known for.  So she took a step back and realized that she didn't have to be the one leading the charge all the time - she could have a much greater impact by helping others share their stories.Jenn T Grace is the founder and CEO of Publish Your Purpose, and the author of six books including her recent memoir, House on Fire: Finding Resilience, Hope, and Purpose in the Ashes.Diversity Beyond the Checkbox is brought to you by The Diversity Movement, hosted by Head of Content Jackie Ferguson, and is a production of Earfluence.  DEI Navigator offers access to our award-winning team of proven business leaders and certified diversity executives, along with expert curated content, how-to guides, specialized training, and a community of peers sharing their ideas and lessons learned — all at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-service DEI consultancy.

The blank page is only one of many hurdles writers have to overcome. But how can we ensure that we have the proper mindsets and techniques to tackle these inevitable roadblocks? This week, Jenn T. Grace joins the podcast to talk about getting over the biggest roadblocks—both in our personal lives and as writers—that get in the way of our writing hopes and dreams. Jenn is the CEO of Publish Your Purpose, which combines both the benefits of traditional publishing and self publishing to help thought leaders get their books published. On the pod, Jenn details the biggest obstacles she sees when working with aspiring writers, and ties them to her own process of writing her memoir House on Fire. She also discusses the importance of a support system and reveals the three people writers need to have throughout their journey.

"In so many ways I have seen people downplay certain aspects of their identity. When in reality, they should be really, really kind of doubling down on being more of who they are." –– Jenn T. GraceDespite decades of advocacy for diversity in publishing, a quick Google search for the top non-fiction authors inevitably turns up a list of white men. This matters, for lots of reasons. If we want people to be transformed by books, they have to see themselves in those books. Which means that we're not connecting with a vast majority of the world. Plus, by not publishing work by under-represented writers, we're missing out on all the wisdom and expertise they have to share, stuff that only they know.Nobody knows this better than Jenn T. Grace. As an author, speaker, founder and CEO of Publish Your Purpose, Jenn has a fierce commitment to bringing voice to the invisible stories that free people from their isolation. She's published six books of her own, including her memoir “House on Fire” and coached hundreds of authors to help them bring their stories into the light. In this episode, Jenn shares key insights from her publishing journey. We talk about why it's important for authors (and the rest of us) to get raw and real when we share our stories. We explore the one-to-one connection authors must create with their readers. And we talk about the need for more diversity in publishing – something she's trying to change through her work."It tends to be either women or LGBTQ people or people with disabilities or people of color, people who are coming from some marginalized standpoint that go and enter into the publishing space, and just don't feel seen. And if you want to share your story, speak your truth, impact people, you have to be working with a partner that helps you feel seen and heard. And there's just not a lot of that still in the publishing space.

I ordered this book based on my conversation with Jenn, who is the Founder & CEO of Publish Your Purpose. There's such a disconnect that exists when it comes to the effort of marketing and branding. We tend to reflect ONLY what we think people want to see – which, granted, is very important in order to demonstrate value – but most times we end up forgoing and limiting our uniqueness, authenticity, and what's at the core of who we really are. In this episode, Jenn breaks down what she learned in the book as well as how she recognized and applied the lessons both in herself and with her clients, helping to elevate how they show up in the work they do. The book emphasizes that we all have different attributes and skills which make up our archetype, but they can all work for us – as long as we're aware of them.

This drives her fierce commitment to bring voice to the invisible stories that free people from their isolation. She is committed to giving underrepresented voices power and a stage to share their stories, speak their truth, and impact their communities. She is the Founder of Publish Your Purpose and In addition to publishing 70+ books that share the stories of others, Jenn has written six, including her memoir, House on Fire. A marathon runner, animal lover, and novice birder. She lives in Connecticut with her family.   Most passionate about I feel like my passion always lies in helping people tell their stories. And how I do that is by helping people publish their books—primarily nonfiction books and memories. What I'm really passionate about, as of late, is making a difference within the larger publishing space and context surrounding the predatory practices of many publishers out there, who are essentially taking advantage of first-time authors. Jenn's career and story I was a consultant. My background is in marketing, so that's certainly a unique angle that we bring to the publishing process. We really have a strong focus on the marketing side. I wrote my first book in 2013. I started it probably at the end of 2011, beginning of 2012. I self-published it, and I made every possible mistake. It was not a good-quality product. I wrote a second book, and I learned from all of my mistakes on the first one. And then I wrote a third book. By the time I was in between my second and third books, everyone I knew kept asking me, “How did you know how to hire an editor? How did you know how to lay out the book?” I kept getting all of these questions: “How did you do this? How did you do that?” The process of having one-on-one conversations with people and then teaching people in smaller groups how to get their books published eventually led me to found a full-blown publishing company in 2015. Best advice for entrepreneurs The best thing that I would recommend is to track your data. The only way that we can really scale and increase that impact is if we really truly know the very core of whom we're serving. The more clear you can be on whom you're serving, and the more you track that, the more robust it becomes, and the easier it makes your marketing for purposes of finding more of that same person. The biggest, most critical failure with customers I think, in a lot of ways, it's ego. I had this kind of ego that was telling me, “You can't switch focuses, you can't switch your business, you're known for doing this consulting work, and you've worked for a decade to build your reputation in that specific consulting area.” I think if I had listened to my intuition, listened to my gut and my instincts, I would have started the publishing business even faster, or perhaps more confidently, rather than fighting it like an internal battle with myself that no one actually saw on the surface. Biggest success with customers One of the things that I was completely hell-bent on achieving was to get national recognition for our chamber of commerce. I had such laser focus. This is a really good example of how I do this in my business. I had laser focus on winning the Chamber of the Year award on a national level in the U.S. Jenn's recommendation of a tool Google Suite. Boomerang. It helps you remember who you were supposed to be following up with. Jenn's one key success factor I would say, if I had to define it for myself (and probably everybody around me would say), it's my level of organization. A default function for me is just being exceptionally organized....
