As political tides shift and legal scrutiny increases, is DEI dead?In this episode, we explore the evolving landscape of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) following the January 2025 release of Executive Order 14173, titled “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity.” This federal directive has changed how government agencies—and increasingly, private companies—approach DEI initiatives.But what does that actually mean for those working in industries on the water?The founder of Women Offshore shares a personal and professional reflection on the uncertainty created by the order, and the very real workforce consequences at stake—especially amid a growing mariner shortage.In this episode, we cover:What Executive Order 14173 says and why it was issuedHow legal interpretations are shifting post–Supreme Court affirmative action rulingThe real-time impact on DEI programs in the private sectorHow organizations are reacting (and what they're reviewing)Why inclusive practices remain a strategic workforce imperativeThe role of community: crews, mentors, and companies still doing the workHow Women Offshore is navigating this new landscapeA preview of what's ahead in Part II: DOJ & EEOC enforcement guidanceWhy This MattersThe global maritime workforce is already stretched thin—with tens of thousands of officers needed in the coming years. Enrollment in U.S. academies is down. And women still make up a small percentage of seafarers worldwide.Efforts like mentorship, inclusive leadership, and targeted support aren't about politics. They're about workforce sustainability.Join Us at the Women Offshore Leadership Summit

What we discussed: Colleen's change-making work in the area of volunteerism, the non-for-profit sectorHow we traditionally interpret words like “volunteer” and “menopause” and why that must changeChoosing to compromise vs what we will never compromise on when it comes to our  life's work How important paradigm-shifting language is for rethinking how we see the world The power of language and the words we use Continuing to do our work even when we know we won't necessarily live to see the impactBeing forward-thinking enough to ensure there is a way for others to continue the work we've startedWe explore the language of being a changemaker and how it makes us feel to use words like paradigm shift, social construct, and rhetoric Why using phrases like “forest person” and “tree person” is a preferable way of describing big and small picture thinking How things may be difficult or hard, but they don't have to be impossible. BIG thanks to the following for sharing my passion for women's health:VICHYFerapro IronFeel Amazing Vulva & Vaginal MoisturizerIntimate WellbeingOh Boy Productions ©Menopause Chicks

We touch on the UK stock market's up and downs with Alessandro Dicorrado, co-manager of the Ninety One UK Special Situations fund, who questions whether recent performance has been driven by sentiment or the overall challenges faced by UK companies today. Alessandro emphasises the team's focus on contrarian investing as we look closer at the fund's composition. This interview also covers “sin stocks” such as tobacco and oil companies, with Alessandro arguing that these industries are in transition towards sustainability and decarbonisation, rather than being inherently unethical. Alessandro gives an overview as to how the team approaches these companies through engagement and highlights holdings working on decarbonisation and electrification. What's covered in this episode: What factors have influenced the UK stock market's up and downs The types of companies held in this fundThe manager's valuation approach to stock selectionWhy “sin stocks” is an unfair labelHow these so-called “sin stocks” are transitioningLooking for companies with strong ESG strategies in placeWhy Rolls-Royce is well positioned for the futureHow Rolls-Royce is working towards decarbonisationThe transition towards electrificationWhy the manager is bullish on the auto suppliers sectorHow the manager monitors long-term themesBeing patient and waiting for opportunities in more popular themesInsurance as an artificial intelligence investmentMore about the fund:The investment process for Ninety One UK Special Situations fund is best described as contrarian, meaning the team seeks to exploit the ‘herd' mentality of capital markets by investing in UK companies that are both unloved and undervalued. The team begins its search for new ideas by looking at shares whose prices have fallen substantially from their peak – or which have gone nowhere for some time. The managers will then undertake detailed fundamental analysis, sifting out the genuinely troubled businesses from those which have been misunderstood by the market.

Hardly a month has gone by in the past two years without a large food or agriculture corporate announcing a pledge to go carbon neutral by some future date. Given the food and agriculture industries contribute over a third of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, these commitments are certainly welcome. But as we increasingly learn about the industry's potential to be a solution to reversing climate change through carbon sequestering farming practices, the question quickly became: is carbon neutrality enough? Shouldn't these corporates have higher goals and be targeting carbon removal from the atmosphere? Furthermore, is carbon even the right focus when you consider other important measures of sustainable and ecological farming? To discuss this complex topic, we brought a diverse guest roster onto the podcast in another roundtable format episode, including: Ivo Degn, Climate Farmers CEO; Dani Nierenberg, president of Food Tank; Kathleen Merrigan, Executive Director for the Swette Center for Sustainable Food Systems; Julie Kunen, Director of Sustainability for Oatly North America; and Debbie Reed, Executive Director for Ecosystem Service Market Consortium. We discuss: Is carbon neutrality enough, or do we need to look beyond it?Is it detrimental to have such a strong focus on carbon neutrality? Does the focus detract from other important areas of regeneration and supporting all ecosystem services?Are carbon credits and overall certification of processes misleading and potentially damaging to the regenerative process?How corporations and startups might work better in the sectorHow are farmers and production workers affected by the carbon neutrality push?How might we design these systems to ensure farmers benefitHow to ensure we don't just end up “greenwishing” while searching for a solution Show Notes Climate FarmersFood TankSwette CenterOatlyESMC Subscribe to our newsletters that track all of the business, tech, and investment trends in food: https://tinyurl.com/nfonewsletters Follow us on Instagram: @newfoodorderpod Follow us on Linkedin: @agfunder & @foodtechconnect Thank you to Foodshot Global & New Hope Network for sponsoring the series.

Ashley Elleby wants Amazon Music to differentiate rather than duplicate. As Global Head of Lifecycle Marketing at Amazon Music, she drives customer awareness of and engagement with the retailer's ad-free and unlimited music streaming platform for Prime members. It's a tall order, but as Ashley discusses, her bias toward action comes with a big reward: it's the same “no fear” mindset she had as a college athlete, engineering student, MBA grad, fashion founder, former Google marketer, and mentor for underrepresented communities in tech. We'll explore how Ashley helps Amazon Music surprise and delight its customers amid the cacophonous, competitive landscape of music streaming services. We discuss metrics to determine customer LTV, the benefits of speaking the language of engineers, marketers, and executive leadership, and how to hit the mute button on all of our annoying internal “What ifs?” Hot topics discussed:Balancing customer personalization with corporate monetization in the music industryEmpowering Black and brown people and women in the tech sectorHow foresight, creativity, and collaboration help product teams progress Why past marketing performance isn't always an indicator of future success The extreme care and audience specificity growth marketers must bring to channels like email, push notifications, and splash screensKeep the growth going:Read the episode transcriptionConnect with Ashley Elleby, Amazon Music Global Head of Lifecycle Marketing on LinkedInFollow Billie Loewen, WillowTree Partner & VP of Growth Marketing on LinkedInFollow Billy Fischer, WillowTree Partner & VP of Business Development on LinkedInFollow WillowTree on LinkedIn

"Training is the single most important investment in people that an organization can make."On this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, we welcome Arun Harihar Rao, Director Knowledge Services at Zipgrid. He leads Zipgrid's knowledge management efforts to ensure that the agency's workforce has access to the critical knowledge needed for mission success. He is also a certified ‘Leadership Coach'.Zipgrid delivers knowledge-based services by creating a professionally managed eco-system that is uniquely designed & customized for housing societies to function more efficiently & enjoy superior community living experiences. With a total work experience of over two decades ranging from Marketing Manager, Training Manager, Vice President of Operations to founding his own company, Arun surely has done it all and it's no surprise this episode covers a lot of ground.Episode highlights: Hiring trends in the community management sectorHow to attract talent to the community industryHow to leverage employer branding to increase brand visibilityFuture of community managementImportance of employee training processThe community management industry's recruiting patterns:Large complexes and residential areas in metro cities and tier-two cities also necessitate a large workforce and resources to manage. A lot of blue-collar work needs to be done, like many security guards, facility management, housekeeping staff, etc., to make sure the community runs smoothly. The finances of all these things are to be managed effectively and adequately. So, this industry comes into play to check the compliance of bylaws and manage the blue-collars.Attracting talent to the community industry:Potential candidates have many options to consider, but employers also face challenges when it comes to finding the right talent. The community industry is entirely new, and candidates are unaware of such types of management, like residential housing management. Employers like Zipgrid ensure they get the right training and skills to go forward. People lack managerial and soft skills. For example, Zipgrid organises Pathshalas, providing prospective managers with on-the-job training for the future.How can employer branding be used to improve brand visibility? Employers should increase their employer branding to increase their brand visibility. The community must add value to its employees. Use domain expertise in society management to increase employee and customer attraction. Prospective employees are very active on social media platforms. Therefore, leveraging a brand for its good employers is essential.The future of the community industryCommunity managers serve as brand ambassadors as well as customer ambassadors. They cultivate customer relationships by ensuring that current consumers are happy and engaged. The importance of the user experience has never been greater. Simple accommodation markets, such as paper towels or toothpaste, may not produce the enthusiasm or energy required for successful community outreach. The importance of brand association cannot be overstated. In the future,The importance of employee trainingEmployees leave the company at a higher rate in the early phases. Employees remain longer because they enjoy what they do, feel appreciated, and see their performance improve. Training is the most critical investment a company or industry can make. Your industry determines the type of training you receive.Follow Arun on LinkedIn.Produced by: Priya BhattPodcast host: Rohan Mankad
