Podcast appearances and mentions of susanne tedrick

The last few weeks of the year are an ideal time for self-reflection and review as on the one hand, there's an understandable eagerness to plan and map out goals for the upcoming year. But at the same time, it's a perfect moment to take note of both the successes earned and lessons gained over the past 12 months. It's in the vein of the latter that I wanted to look back at the numerous conversations I had with my guests on my Leadership Biz Cafe podcast to select my favourite guest moments and insights from 2023. To be sure, this wasn't an easy task as I've had the privilege of speaking with some insightful and knowledgeable experts over these past 12 months. Combing the perspectives of looking back and looking ahead, here are my favourite highlights from some of the conversations I had on my podcast in 2023: John Baldoni - Why great leaders take care of their employees by creating community and why grace is the how to making that happen. Adam Bryant - Why your ability to offer feedback and give recognition is key to your ability to make the leap to leader and why so many of us struggle with this form of communication. Tamara Sanderson – How leaders can address concerns over loneliness when offering remote work options, and what the shifting dynamics of relationships at work tell us about the future of work. Bertina Ceccarelli and Susanne Tedrick – What leaders should be doing to retain a diverse workforce during today's uncertain economic conditions to ensure they can attract key talent needed to grow the organization when the economy roars back to life. James Burstall – How creativity can help leaders be better prepared for the next crisis by treating it as an opportunity for growth and not just a time to hunker down. Erika Andersen – What leaders need to do to make their organization more agile and responsive following a major change. If you're looking for some inspiration and guidance on how to be better prepared to address the challenges your organization will face in 2024, I want to encourage you to listen to this year-end retrospective episode, and to check out upcoming episodes of my podcast that we'll be releasing in 2024. My thanks to John, Adam, Tamara, Bertina, Susanne, James, and Erika for these insightful moments shared in this last episode of my podcast for 2023. https://open.spotify.com/episode/6FhqaHj6iZO8xYxIlXjFO3?si=6c09551d551b4397 Episode links: John Baldoni | Leading Through Change And Crisis With Grace Adam Bryant | How Managers Can Make The Jump To Leadership Tamara Sanderson | How Leaders Make Remote Work A Success Bertina Ceccarelli & Susanne Tedrick | Innovating For Diversity James Burstall | How Leaders Can Prepare For The Next Major Crisis Erika Andersen | Addressing Change From The Inside Out Noteworthy links: Buy James' book “The Flexible Method” on Amazon* Buy John Baldoni's book “Grace Under Pressure” on Amazon*.

If you're a business leader or corporate executive and you have your hands in your organizations DEI work, right now you're probably pretty bewildered.

Bertina Ceccarelli is the CEO of NPower, a leading non-profit in empowering young adults and military connected individuals to kickstart their tech careers; and Susanne Tedrick is a celebrated writer and speaker devoted to celebrating diversity in tech.  If you'd like to follow William & Mary's School of Business or learn more about the Diversity and Inclusion podcast and our programs, please visit us at www.mason.wm.edu.

We've all seen the studies that have shown how a diverse workforce leads to better productivity, increased profits and market share, and greater creativity and innovation. But with so many positive outcomes related to diverse workforces, why are so many organizations failing to attract and retain a diversified workforce – including in the senior leadership ranks? What are we getting wrong and what should we be doing differently? According to my guests on this episode of my “Leadership Biz Cafe” podcast, Bertina Ceccarelli and Susanne Tedrick, the key is understanding how to use innovation principles to drive an organization's DEI efforts. Bertina is the Chief Executive Officer of NPower, one of the most successful non-profits in North America committed to helping young adults and military-connected individuals launch tech careers. And Susanne is the author of Women of Color in Tech and a cloud computing technical trainer for a Fortune 500 technology company. Together, they co-authored the book “Innovating For Diversity – Lessons from Top Companies Achieving Business Success through Inclusivity”, which makes the compelling case for why diversity and innovation are not just interconnected, but how innovation can actually help organizations succeed in their DEI initiatives. Of course, to succeed in these efforts, we first have to get a better understanding of what these terms of diversity, equity and inclusion really mean. And I'm grateful to Bertina and Susanne for not only helping to bring clarity to this in our conversation, but for also providing practical advice for how leaders can succeed at creating a more diverse workplace that will not only benefit their organization, but also those their organization serves. No matter what you might think about diversity in today's workplaces, I want to strongly encourage you to give this episode a listen as I'm sure some of what Bertina and Susanne share in this conversation will surprise you and definitely give you some food for thought.

Bertina Ceccarelli and Susanne Tedrick - authors of Innovating for Diversity - speak about their book and share lessons from top companies achieving business success through inclusivity.

Better product development, greater innovation, and better performance- many companies and people see the benefits of greater diversity. But what if we flip the script around and apply a lens of innovation to diversity rather than view diversity as just another checkbox? This is one of the ideas that Bertina Ceccarelli and Susanne Tedrick, the two guests in this episode, talk about in their new book ‘Innovating for Diversity: Lessons from Top Companies Achieving Business Success through Inclusivity'. In this episode, Jerome and Julienne speak with them about approaches to DEI and the difference that changing from a compliance and check-the-box approach to an innovation approach can make. By applying principles of innovation to DEI objectives, these objectives not only become an integral part of business, but conversations about DEI also get easier since there is a language that people can connect with in a way that perhaps they couldn't with the language that was used previously. They also talk about the importance of change starting at the top, having buy-in from middle managers, and the need for a willingness to take risks.Let our guests, and the stories they tell, inspire you to look at DEI from a different perspective and help you discover how you can build sustainable and effective DEI initiatives and drive change in your organization. NotesBuy ‘Innovating for Diversity: Lessons from Top Companies Achieving Business Success through Inclusivity' by Bertina Ceccarelli and Susanne Tedrick hereFind out more about The Narativ Storytelling Method atnarativ.comEMAIL Jerome@narativ.comLINKEDIN https://www.linkedin.com/company/narativ-incTWITTER @narativ

Susanne Tedrick, technology exec and author of “Women of Color in Tech” offers a blueprint for the leadership of any organization who wants to do the work to build a fair, equitable, diverse and inclusive workforce.

In this episode, Chris is joined by Susanne Tedrick. Susanne is an Azure Infrastructure Specialist for Microsoft and the award-winning author of 'Women of Color in Tech'. They will discuss the basic technical and business considerations to be made when migrating applications and workloads to the cloud, based on the Cloud Adoption Framework.

In this episode, our guest is Susanne Tedrick, Sr. Cloud Infrastructure Specialist at Microsoft and author of "Women of Color in Tech". A titan in cloud sales and strong advocate for diversity in the space, she discusses the intricacies of cloud adoption among professional sports teams, the inspiration behind her book, and much more.

In German there is a saying that goes: ''Geteilte Freude ist doppelte Freude, geteilter Schmerz ist halber Schmerz.'' This translates to: ''shared joy is double joy, shared sorrow is halved sorrow''. Susanne encompasses this saying with her willingness to help women in their careers and has dedicated parts of her career to doing so. She is there for them, through their highs and lows, and sees a future where there is room for all to succeed. Susanna is an Azure Infrastructure Specialist, at Microsoft. She is also the author of Women of colour in tech. She has run marathons and is an avid game nerd.  

Susanne Tedrick is a woman of many skills with a long list of accomplishments. She currently works for Microsoft, specifically as a specialist for Azure, their cloud computing platform. She also volunteers for several organizations devoted to encouraging minorities to pursue careers in the world of technology. These include Advancing Tech Talent, CompTIA, and Npower's Command Shift initiative.  She doesn't always spend her time behind a desk though. Susanne also has a couple of marathons under her belt, though she says those days are behind her now.  In case you weren't impressed enough, she also has a book to her name, published in 2020 by John Wiley & Sons. Through her book, Women of Color in Tech, Susanne wants to let women know about the vast array of available careers in tech and how to get into those jobs. With that array of accomplishments, one might say that Susanne didn't even need to write the book. Her own life is an example of what you can accomplish when you have a clear vision and the passion to bring that vision into the real world. Of course, even with her many speaking engagements (quickly looking through her schedule at www.susannetedrick.com shows a very packed schedule), even this human dynamo can't be everywhere at once. The book allows her to get her message out and positively impact as many people as possible.  Now, some might be tempted to look at her work and dismiss it as more diverse buzzwords. Susanne understands well that diversity is about a lot more than race and gender. Those are encouraged of course, but largely because people have a tendency to feel signaled out and alienated in a situation where no one looks like them. And of course, there are a few who are happy to make them feel that way. Susanne just helps give women of color like herself the extra encouragement they need to step into what understandably seems like an intimidating field. It's an uphill battle, a marathon if you will, thanks to all the cultural biases that affect the decision to even enter on a STEM path. Everything from people assuming that women can't handle the logical world of coding to those in an urban environment thinking education is a sign of weakness and the only path to success is through sports. Fortunately, those battles are being won and more minorities are looking into the tech field. Beyond mere race and gender though are far more important aspects of diversity, thought, and experience. A person's background and basic beliefs about the world can provide unique ways of thinking that will look at problems from different angles and so present different solutions. If everyone has exactly the same mindset, problems can become much more difficult to overcome or even identify. When a company has a diversity of thought and experience (which does have some overlap with race and gender) amongst its employees that company actually does better financially.  So, what is it that drives Susanne to do all of this? Given the amount of volunteer work she does, it clearly isn't about the money. She says it is simply watching the next generation develop. There is a great deal of satisfaction in working with a young novice and watching her learn and grow. With a good mentor like Susanne, someone fresh out of school can go from having a lack of confidence to being ready to be a leader for the next generation of young professionals.  Susanne Tedrick is the perfect example of a woman who talks the talk and walks the walk. A lifetime steeped in the world of technology has not made her lose sight not just of the data that helps are do her job but of the human beings behind the data.

Company culture affects every aspect of your business—from talent acquisition and management to product development and sales to employee engagement and wellness. What worked yesterday may not work as well today and definitely won't work tomorrow. Why? Social movements make culture shifts happen. To be successful, leaders must listen and adapt behaviors and processes in pursuit of great service to others. Being willing to shift a workplace culture asks employees to be driven by more than personal gain, but gives more meaning to work, taps into individual emotion, and fuels collective action.  In part two of our four-episode series dedicated to dissecting culture shifts, guests Rachel McGuiness, chief vitality officer, Wake Up with Zest; Susanne Tedrick, cloud engineer, IBM; Karl Palachuk, owner, Small Business Thinker; and Jill Chapman, sr. performance consultant, Insperity, join Yvette Steele, director of the Advancing Tech Talent and Diversity Community at CompTIA, to discuss growing the talent pipeline with more remote employees and accessing a diverse pool of workers.
