Do you think setting a mission and values help achieve your goals?

Black History Month is observed across the United States to honor the contributions and sacrifices of African-Americans pivotal in shaping the nation. At S&P Global, this month and beyond, we’re dedicated to amplifying the voices of our Black colleagues. We are appreciative of our BOLD (Black Organization for Leadership and Development) People Resource Group for organizing insightful events, fostering meaningful conversations, and creating spaces to advance Black leadership opportunities within our organization. With this year’s #BlackHistoryMonth theme "African Americans and the Arts”, we look forward to furthering our understanding of the innumerable impacts African Americans have had and continue to have on fashion, visual arts, music, cultural movements, and much more.

There are so many definitions for and uses of the concept of "diversity" in business. Sometimes, we react negatively to how others attempt to impose their definitions on us as Christian CEOs and Business Owners. It is easy to be defensive and reject the overall notion of diversity. However, it is possible to reclaim God's view of diversity and apply it to our businesses. We will talk about that in our C12 North Texas business forums this month. We will challenge each other to understand the competing definitions. More importantly, we will discuss practical, proactive steps to value people with different backgrounds, talents, and perspectives in our businesses. We don't shy away from tough topics in C12. If you want a place to discuss them and how they apply to you, join us. We love guests.
