What Has Changed Since George Floyd: The New Landscape of DEI Work What You Will Learn: What has changed since George Floyd was killed at the hands of Minneapolis police a year ago, and the global protests his killing sparked Dawn shares her thoughts on DEI practice today and on our society’s evolving views of equity and diversity Why it is crucial to remember that Diversity is not new, and how the murder of George Floyd opened people’s eyes to the reality that has been with us all along How in some regards we’ve slid backwards in our collective cultural competence, and why some people now feel free to voice racist opinions openly How Diversity’s slow slide towards being a “political” topic has created an additional challenge for DEI practitioners Why more businesses are making public statements after race-based violent events take place, and why they are sometimes getting pushback from employees How DEI work has evolved since the 1980s and 1990s and moved beyond just training to more organizational and strategic efforts, and what work still needs to be done Why “training” isn’t the quick fix for racial equity in the workplace, and what positives Dawn recognizes in our progress Why Dawn is happy to see that we’re still having conversations around these subjects and providing a framework for new DEI practitioners to build on Why Dawn suggests new practitioners focus on understanding where your organization is, where they want to go, and what challenges they face What Has Changed Since George Floyd It has been nearly a year since the murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. In that time, so much has changed in the collective awareness of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. But as the expression goes, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” In some regards, the national and global conversation about racial equity sparked by George Floyd’s murder has opened society’s eyes to the pervasive inequities that were here all along. But in other ways, it feels like we’re sliding backwards into further divisiveness and race-based hostility, as though people with racist views and opinions feel empowered to air those views openly. So what has changed since George Floyd was killed, and since the video of his murder forced us to have a global conversation about systemic racism and police violence against unarmed Black people? How has DEI work changed in the last year, and what work do we still need to do? Pushing Forward and Sliding Backward To answer these questions, I invited Dawn Cooper to join me on this week’s episode of the What’s The Difference podcast. Dawn is a Diversity and Inclusion practitioner with an extensive and extraordinary depth of experience, consulting for some of the biggest brands in the world, from American Express to Amoco. During our conversation, we discussed how things have changed in the last year, both in positive ways and in negative ones. Somehow, the concept of Diversity has become a “political” topic, and some organizations who have voiced support for a more diverse, equitable and inclusive society have received resistance for “pushing a political agenda”. This politicization of DEI work has created yet another obstacle for practitioners to have to overcome, and the reality can feel overwhelming and progress can feel nearly impossible. However, new data, new methods and a new understanding of the challenges we face mean that we can make progress. It’s important to remember that, as Dawn said in our conversation, Diversity isn’t a new concept, and the last year has only illuminated issues that have been a part of our world all along. One key piece of advice Dawn shared for anyone new to DEI work, especially if you’re entering the field in today’s complicated environment, is to focus on understanding where your organization is now, what goals your organization has for the future, and what challenges your organization faces in achieving those goals. Doing so will offer you a road map for the work you must do, and that can be invaluable in helping you navigate the complexities.

The journey a person who suffers from bipolar disorder inevitably has with the condition is a challenging one. Diagnosis can often be postponed until late in life because telltale behaviors get mistaken as symptoms of different root causes. Our guest on the show today is Dawn Sherine Bernard, and while she knew from a young age that her mental health was not optimal, she was only finally diagnosed at age 40. The lessons she learned from the battle she fought have inspired her to start a podcast called Dancing with Bipolar, and today she joins us to speak more about it. Dawn never had the privilege of a medical aid and so even scheduling a meeting to get a diagnosis was riddled by obstructions for her. She ended up having to fake a suicide attempt just so that she could get admitted and finally see a healthcare provider. Joining this episode, you will hear Dawn share her experiences living with bipolar disorder and how these have taken her to a place where she felt a calling to become a voice on the matter through her podcast. She shares the memories of how she ended up getting diagnosed, which form a scathing critique on privatization and the lack of a good public healthcare system in the US. We also get into some of the other ways a person with no medical aid might begin the process of seeking help and discover that the national suicide hotlines might be a good place for somebody to start. This episode also covers the story behind Dawn’s podcast’s name. Dawn tells us about her love for dancing and her daily practice of going dancing with her dog. For Dawn, the relationship a person with bipolar has with the condition feels like a dance for several reasons. It becomes a play of smoke and mirrors which presents a constant struggle between making progress and then losing ground. Dawn also talks about how starting Dancing with Bipolar has been an incredibly empowering experience, one which has helped her with her journey, as well as hopefully touched the lives of her listeners. We hear how Dawn has grown her listener base and what she has to keep doing to stay afloat and be a service to her audience. Living with bipolar is something which can be made much more bearable with the right set of tools, so tune in to find out what an incredible resource Dawn’s show could be to those in need of it. Key Topics:   •   The impetus behind Dancing with Bipolar originating in Dawn’s own struggles. (01:13) •   Challenges to diagnosis and accessing help that Dawn faced. (02:08) •   Non-medical aid users having to use suicide attempts to access healthcare. (03:43) •   Other ways of seeking emergency help by using a national hotline. (05:44) •   How Dawn came up with her podcast’s name: links between bipolar and dance. (06:52) •   Dawn’s hopes for how her story might help others who listen to her show. (08:19) •   Why Dawn chose the podcast as a format to accomplish her mission. (09:52) •   Personal gains Dawn experiences from her show that help her stay on track. (11:01) •   Ways Dawn promotes her podcast so that it can reach people who need it. (13:12) •   Advice for people who want to start a podcast: make sure you know your subject. (16:09) •   Why Dawn wants listeners to support unMASKing Hope which explores trauma. (18:56)   Guest Info: Dawn Sherine Bernard, creator of the Dancing with Bipolar Podcast.

You need to learn to be yourself. So do I. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of putting on a face that you think others want to see. We tend to think we have to be that way if we are going to appeal to people, but it’s not true. When we learn to be ourselves, great things happen. Really. My guest today is Dawn Doherty, an executive coach and speaker who is laser-focused on helping you learn how to be your authentic self. She believes that when you are the you, you are created to be, you will experience breakthroughs like you’ve never experienced. Find out more from Dawn and hear how she encourages that kind of personal breakthrough, on this episode of Real Relationships. You are probably living out of a fear-based mindset. Most people do. Dawn Doherty says that one of the hardest habits she had to break was the habit of thinking and living in fear. It’s what kept her from being herself because she was constantly trying to live up to what she THOUGHT other people expected from her. But when she was able to jettison that fear it became clear that she could contribute the maximum amount to the world. That's because she was no longer wasting her energy trying to be someone she was not. It’s a liberating decision that opens the door to authentic relationships that can give you a fulfilling life and profitable business. Dawn is the expert and she’s sharing a whole lot of her goodies on this episode, so be sure you listen. When you live authentically, you do your best work and work with the best people for you. There are numerous advantages that come to you when you learn how to be your best self, the authentic you. One of the things Dawn Doherty, my guest on this episode points out is that when you live authentically, you do your best work. There’s no wasted energy trying to pretend that you have different skills than you do or different areas of focus than you do. You’re free to be who you are fully and freely. And the bonus is that you attract the exact people you SHOULD be working with, the people who are most aligned with you and the best fit. It’s a great tip that yields incredible results that you will benefit from greatly. A vital question: Am I going to do my best work with this client? We all feel the pressure at times to take on a client or job because it feels like the money it will bring in is the most important thing. But it’s not. It’s not even a close second. It’s much more important that we work with people who are aligned with us, people who bring out the best in us and whose personalities and approach to life energize us to do our best work. It’s vital when assessing potential client relationships that we learn to ask, “Am I going to be able to do my best work with this client?” My guest today suggests that an honest answer to that question will not only save you a lot of headaches but also set you up for greater success. Dawn Doherty is on the show this time - I hope you’ll listen to what she has to say. It’s powerful stuff. Why and how Realtors should stalk people online. In case you haven’t noticed, it’s easier than ever to stalk people than ever before (in a good way). When you are contacted by a potential client or given a referral, it’s time to open your web browser and start checking out the person to see if the two of you will be a good fit. You can find out so much from social media profiles, community postings, reviews others leave about their experience with a person - and it all contributes to your ability to say a confident “yes” or “no” to working with that person. And it’s a step you should not neglect. Dawn Doherty tells us how to go about business stalking the right way, on this episode.

This is Part 2 of the Local Hearted Podcast interview with Asheville social media expert Dawn Chitwood.  If you are running a business page on Facebook and find that your posts are not reaching many of the people who have liked your page, this episode is for you. Dawn Chitwood is the Marketing Director for Bravado Creative, a full-service digital marketing company located in the Flat Iron Building of downtown Asheville, NC. Dawn has experience providing consulting and social media management for small to medium-sized businesses, including Asheville artists, as well as artists and galleries from her prior hometown at the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  This episode applies to all businesses looking to increase their exposure on Facebook, not just to artists.  Much of the discussion does use the art business as an example, but can be easily translated to any other type of business, too. During our conversation, Dawn shared so generously that I broke the interview into two episodes. For the most part, this episode does stand alone from Part 1, but I do encourage you to listen to Dawn's first episode, even if you go back to it later. There are so many marketing tips in that episode. Part 1 covers the importance of creating a Facebook page for your business separate from your personal profile page, as well as best practices for managing the page.  Plus, if you own a business, Dawn's talk on branding in Part 1 is not to be missed! Here is the audio for Dawn Chitwood, Part 2 Connect with Dawn and learn more about her work: Check out her website at http://bravadocreative.com Like her company's Facebook page by visiting  http://facebook.com/gobravado Highlights of this Interview, Dawn Chitwood Part 2 Why Dawn recommends businesses do advertising on Facebook Dawn's detailed tips about the best way to structure Facebook ads When you can do-it-yourself and when it would really be best to consult with a social media expert What to look at if you are not getting the response to your ads that you are looking for How to deal with negative feedback on Facebook Links for Dawn Chitwood's Interview Most links from this interview were actually mentioned during and provided in the show notes for Dawn Chitwood Part 1 In the current episode, Dawn mentions "Jen."  She is referring to her client, Asheville jewelry artist Jen Aly.  Dawn talked about her work with Jen Aly more extensively in Part 1 (and the link is in the show notes for that episode). For the Discussion Below If you have any experience with running ads on Facebook, I would love to hear how it went for you When a sponsored post on Facebook shows up in your news feed, do you give it consideration?  Do you ever click on a sponsored post?  Or do you view them merely as advertisements and scroll past them? Did you hear Dawn agree at the end of the episode to come back and speak on other social media topics?  Weigh in on what you most need to hear her talk about next time!
