In this conversation, Joel and Chad interview Stacey Gordon, founder and principal consultant at Rework Work, about unconscious inclusion, skills-based hiring, and the politicization of DEI. Stacey emphasizes the importance of actively working towards unconscious inclusion. She discusses the need for dialogue and open conversations to bridge the gap between different perspectives. Stacey also addresses the challenges of changing mindsets and the role of education in DEI. She highlights the benefits of skills-based hiring for diversity and inclusion and the need for ongoing training and implementation. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the politicization of DEI and the importance of shifting mindsets in the workplace. Takeaways Unconscious inclusion is the goal of DEI, where people are included without conscious effort or bias. Skills-based hiring can be a powerful tool for diversity and inclusion, as it focuses on the qualifications and abilities of candidates rather than their background or identity. Changing mindsets is crucial for progress in DEI, and ongoing education and training are necessary to shift perspectives and behaviors. The politicization of DEI can hinder progress, and it is important to have open conversations and bridge the gap between different perspectives.

I have bias.'” Then, you can start to identify and address them.What are we uncomfortable doing?How do we improve our knowledge and behavior in those situations (to get ourselves more comfortable)? This is what we dive into, in today's episode, with workplace culture consultant, keynote speaker, author, facilitator of learning and Executive Advisor on Diversity Strategies, Stacey Gordon.Stacey says, “The crisis we need to be able to lead through is our own – because there is a crisis of leadership right now. If we don't know what it's going to take to remain a great leader in our organization, we have a problem.” We are currently at a tipping point, where more people in the workplace think we should be doing something than not. But, we're struggling to do it because: - We're so socialized not to- We don't have the education, support, or resources- We're not sure how to bridge the gap between learning/knowing and doing- We're scared of making mistakesWe explore them all, as well as how to overcome them, in this conversation.

Now is the time to take action. Stacey, who is the CEO of Rework Work and author of the book Unbias, will transform your thinking about what it means to have bias, how bias shows up in your work life and home life, and why bias can ultimately have an impact on your bank account.LinksRework Work https://reworkwork.comUnbias book https://www.unbiasbook.comDiversity, Equity, and Inclusion Workplace Assessment https://reworkwork.com/take-dei-assessmentMeet Stacey https://reworkwork.com/about-usEpisode SponsorsMake it the year you finally cross life insurance off your list, and get protection for your loved ones.

"I think the for me the value is understanding why they're going through these motions and making  DEI sustainable. So from a leadership standpoint, there's that. I think, also from an individual standpoint, it's just the understanding that you can also make a difference, right?  I want people to understand that this is not something that you have to pass the buck and say:  I need my manager to do or I need HR to do or I need  my pastor to do. No, I need you, you, sir, you mam  to take a look at yourself as well and see where do you contribute to this."Voices of Diversity host Rocki Howard speaks with guest Stacey Gordon who is a Diversity Strategist, Founder of Rework Work and author of Unbias: Addressing Unconscious Bias At Work.Stacey speaks to us today about the collective power of women, the importance of all voices in the DEI narrative and gives us advice from her book as she talks to us today as a Voice of An Unbiased Diversity Strategist. 

I cannot believe that I am saying this, BUT but this is the final guest episode for season one of this podcast! This episode is the celebration of this whole season. So today we will be bringing all those intersections and levels and layers that make us, that we have been dissecting and digging deep into throughout the season, together. 2020 has been a year of finally giving DEI conversations the airtime they deserve, however we cannot always wait for a crisis before engaging in these conversations. But, before we see any progress, we need to come to terms with how we got to where we are today. We need to understand the ineffectiveness of one-off initiatives like hiring a head of D&I and implementing a standalone unconscious bias training. So, what will it take for us to to get where we need to go?For that, I invited two expectational guests to join me: Stacey Gordon and Dr Shelton Goode. Stacey is a Founder and Chief Diversity Strategist at Rework Work, she is also a highly regarded public speaker, a Linked In Instructor and has just written a book called Unbias, that comes out on 31st March and is available for pre-order. Dr Shelton Goode is the Founder and President of Icarus Consulting, he has held Chief Diversity Officer roles at various companies, has been named the TOP 10 D&I trailblazer by Forbes and has written a number of books, of which the latest is due to be published.   On this episode you will hear:1) The current state of D&I: Is there a conscious effort to make an impact?2) Not 'another thing': How do we mainstream D&I?3) The D&I training & education4) The 'diverse' role of a Chief Diversity Officer.5) Reimagining workplaces: What does the world beyond this look like?Liked the conversation?
