The Book Leads – Episode 47: Andrew Beamon & From Promises To Progress: A Leadership Guide To Help Organizations Avoid Common Mishaps And Bring Their Racial Equity Aspirations To Life I recently sat down with Andrew, a Corporate Social Responsibility Professional, Author, and fellow University of Hartford Alum, to discuss his career and experiences leading up to his new book. Beyond continuing the conversation that seems to fade back into discomfort between major racist tragedies and murders, he's pushing it further so ompanies understand what they can do beyond instinctively grabbing for the low-hanging fruit of launching surface-level campaigns and reworking public perceptions. He wants them to dive deeper. These open, honest, and learning conversations are what I would love to see more of – where each person is sharing their experience and understanding. We're not always going to get it perfect, but the conversations should be equal parts honesty and patience. As for companies operating in today's society: No more lip service and facades. Do right by your people and community. Episode Highlights Examples of companies called out for racist practices and missteps; How companies can take their anti-racist responsibility seriously; His experience going to an HBCU; The difficulty he found in expressing what he was feeling after various senseless high-profile murders of black men; and The difficulty that exists in having these conversations in society. The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Andrew is, What steps are you and/or your company taking in the fight against racism? Andrew's Bio Andrew Beamon is an experienced professional in Corporate Social Responsibility, Racial Equity, Human Resource Strategy, and Economic Development.  Prior to joining a global financial institution to lead the U.S. Corporate Citizenship Colleague Engagement Programs, he worked as the Director of Field Operations for the SCORE Association, and as a Human Capital Consultant with The Gallup Organization. Andrew earned his bachelor's degree in business with a concentration in hospitality and tourism administration from North Carolina Central University in Durham, North Carolina, and his master's degree in organizational psychology from the University of Hartford in Hartford, Connecticut. He completed Georgetown's Strategic Diversity & Inclusion Management Executive Certification and Boston College's Certification in Strategic Corporate Citizenship Management. Currently resides back in his hometown, Waterbury, Connecticut.
