Congrats to Association of Corporate Counsel Foundation for another successful Good Lawyers to Great Lawyers Retreat. It was an honor to lead roundtable discussions on Authentic Leadership and present with Jeena JeeHyun Cho, 조지현, JD (she/her) on wellbeing where we focused on aspects of well-being often ignored when the people on the margins are excluded. And now it is off to San Francisco where I have the honor of keynoting the California Minority Counsel Program | CMCP's Annual Business Meeting luncheon on Friday. What will we talk about? The kind of courage we need to face the attacks on DEI and continue to move forward. But first, I get to deliver training at the partner retreat for an AmLaw 200 law firm focused on inclusive leadership, the hidden barriers impacting the engagement and advancement of attorneys of color and what we can do about it tomorrow morning. It is time to get into good trouble. And don't let anyone convince you that everyone is scared of doing the hard work despite opposition. #diversityandinclusion #racialequity #belonging #leadership #choosecourage

Women play a crucial role in shaping the decisions and strategies of companies, and having them on boards of directors is essential. Diversity on boards leads to better decision-making and women bring perspectives, experiences, and skills to the table, which can help in considering a wider range of factors and making more well-rounded decisions. This program and its distinguished panel will provide valuable insights into the skills, networks, and strategies needed to navigate the path to board positions.

Alex Killick highlights the role of governance and accountability in relation to the ongoing Post Office scandal. When we think of scandals and management failures (Shrewsbury & Telford NHS, RBS, Mid Staffordshire NHS etc etc) an absence of effective non-executive oversight is often highlighted as an area for attention. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised, when the requirements for most non-executive positions don't effectively measure, or require, inclusive governance skill. And the remit for non-executives remains predominantly focused on the stewardship of the ££&pp. Our research into the drivers for inclusion identified that Inclusive Governance, and conscious scrutiny are a key requirement to drive a positive culture of change. Our experience has shown how the tone and culture at the Board can drive, or turn a blind eye to, bad behaviours that have led to toxic workplaces. Conversely, we know the power of inclusive governance, where non-executives actively seek the assurances they need to know that results are being achieved the right way. In many instances top teams are using our inclusion insight audits to dig deeper and really understand how policy is being translated into action, and impacting on staff experience so that frameworks can be put in place that further support inclusive governance and conscious scrutiny. #InclusiveGovernance #ConsciousScutiny
