What does it take to lead in today's complex workplace? Sonya Kaleel, a future-focused leader and founder of The Inclusion Practice is conducting cutting-edge research on the competencies needed to lead and communicate in tumultuous times.

Sonya discusses the fear of saying the wrong thing, the isolation many senior leaders experience, and the importance of epic listening.  

Tune in for a powerful conversation about what is possible when we lead from authenticity and connection. 

I’ve been feeling it lately.  What is the “it” you ask?  It’s the apprehension some leaders have when discussing DEI.  Most of us working in this space have experienced this troubling shift in our organizations and/or clients. 

This got me  thinking…why? 

In this episode I discuss..

• Possible reasons why we’re experiencing this shift

• What you can do differently 

• Two disruptive voices to follow  - head on over to their profiles (after you listen to the podcast 😀)  @Paul Lidio and @ Lily Zheng. 

Psst…it’s not all doom and gloom.  

Listen to the full episode of The Intersection on your favorite podcast platform to hear more about the destruction of DEI and why what we’re doing no longer works. Find the link to the episode in the comments.

In honor of Women’s History month, I'm speaking with amazing women who are pushing boundaries and uplifting others by the great work they are doing. In this week’s show, Melonie and Yayra discuss the idea behind D.I.G: A Woman's Guide to Discovering her Inner Greatness, a book full of stories of everyday women finding their inner greatness. They explore their research methods, the organization that was born from it, and the most common themes that came up.
