Today's special guest, Dr. Tiffany Jana are diversity, equity and inclusion thought leaders. Her new book, written with co-author Dr. Michael Baran Subtle Acts of Exclusion: How to Understand, Identify and Stop Microaggressions, reframes the concept of microaggressions in order to gain some traction on a problem that hasn't seen much progress in decades. Microaggressions are ways that people unintentionally exclude and alienate others. Even though they may be unintentional, they inflict harm. They can take a cumulative toll when, for example, coworkers repeatedly mispronounce someone's name, or when people cross the street when someone who looks or dresses differently approaches. Research shows that insensitivities such as these wear on victims' physical and emotional well-being. It can be awkward, if not perilous, for subjects of microaggressions (also referred to as subtle acts of exclusion) to set the record straight. Pointing out the offense to a coworker, an acquaintance, or a stranger can raise hackles. Yet, when the subject or an observer speaks up, it can be effective. Ignoring inaccurate assumptions or pretending they didn't happen renders the subject invisible and silently condones the act. Speaking up also helps initiators recognize that we all mess up sometimes, and the only real problem would be not trying to improve our behavior after receiving feedback. Dr. Tiffany Jana is the CEO of TMI Portfolio, a collection of companies working to advance inclusive workplaces. TMI Consulting, a TMI Portfolio company, is a 2018 Best for the World B Corporation. Jana is also the coauthor of Overcoming Bias and the second edition of the B Corp Handbook.

She has written several books that help people live a better life every day, such as Subtle Acts of Exclusion: How To Understand, Identify, and Stop Microaggressions. Dr. Jana aims to empower the people who are on the receiving end of microaggressions and empower bystanders to say something. Jana reveals a new role in the workplace: The Chief Diversity Officer. A Chief Diversity Officer is a new role, which means some companies have a hard time defining the position. To resolve this, Dr. Jana has launched a new platform, Loom The Culture Map, to identify and map out what success looks like in this role. When companies want to increase their diversity, they need to pinpoint why it matters to them, look at metrics, and make sure it's carried out with high intention. Show Notes

TMI was the world’s first diversity and equity focused Certified Benefit (B) Corporation. Dr. Jana’s military upbringing, and subsequent predilection towards travel, exposed them to dozens of countries and cultures that made them question whether all of the focus of difference and discrimination was the best use of human energy.As a multiple minority (including race, gender identity, and invisible disability), Dr. Jana has always believed that if they could only help people see the vast depth, complexity, and beauty of the human experience, perhaps people would be kinder to each other. Dr. Jana’s speaking style is inspiring, engaging, high-energy, and relatable. She most enjoys helping people see each other more fully and more clearly. “It’s harder to hate when you know what people have been through. Our joys and our sadness may be attributable to different narratives, but the sensory experience of raw human emotion is the same regardless of our color, gender, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic we use to divide ourselves.” Dr. Jana has been featured in numerous publications and media including Fast Company, Huffington Post, Forbes, and Psychology Today. Dr. Jana’s favorite awards and recognition include 2017 Enterprising Women of the Year from Enterprising Women Magazine and 2018’s Top 100 Leadership Speakers from Inc.com.Resources Mentioned In The EpisodeTMI Portfolio: https://tmiportfolioinc.com/Erasing Institutional Bias: How to Create Systemic Change for Organizational Inclusion book: https://erasinginstitutionalbias.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
