Always have learned from Daisy Auger-Dominguez and her words of wisdom. Her Ted Talk on Inclusion revolution is just pure gold. I totally resonated with the Ted Talk Inclusion Revolution as I also grew up with that same mandate of head down and work hard because the results will speak for themselves. It builds strong work ethic!
If
you are looking for insight on creating a work place environment where every
team member belongs and is seen, heard and valued – Check out this Ted Talk out! Her advice,
examples / anecdotes are beyond insightful!

Diversity and Inclusion Strategist Daisy
Auger-Domínguez invites us to consider why creating workplaces where everyone
feels heard, valued and seen is hard, complex and at times emotionally
triggering. According to Daisy, when we all start being the allies we want to
be, showing up and for our colleagues, and persisting through discomfort and
doing the difficult work to ensure that each and every team member is seen,
heard and valued, only then we can make lasting and meaningful change.
