Belonging = Inclusion * (Diversity + Equity) ^ Accessibility

Today I had the honor of being on a panel entitled - Embracing Culture: The Strength and the Challenge at the SHRM #ExecNetwork experience at the #SHRM24 Conference. My fellow panelists were: John Ferguson, SHRM-CP, PHR of NASCAR DeRetta Cole Rhodes, PhD of Atlanta Braves Beth Goldstein served as our amazing moderator! As the Global Head of Belonging, I recognize that culture is the bedrock of our identity—it influences every facet of our organization. Yet, the journey through cultural landscapes is not without its complexities. In our session, we will confronted the "culture paradox," examining its influence on leadership, collaboration, and personal growth. We explored strategies for enhancing employee engagement, refining team dynamics, and fostering a culture that is both positive and inclusive. Participants hopefully departed with a strategic blueprint to harness the distinctive power of our organization's culture. If you were in our session please comment below on your own takeaways! #Belonging = #Inclusion * (#Diversity + #Equity) ^ #Accessibility

Guys say a prayer today with your peers for the thousands of HR professionals out of work and depressed. With everyone at the event, it could be a powerful prayer chain. Thank you.

I help exhausted and high-achieving women leaders and leaders of color to overcome disempowering beliefs so they can show up powerfully in work and life.
