This week I watched a family member be fully in their element at work. It was a treat to witness them in their flow state managing their team. They have a gift for making others feel seen. I couldn’t stop smiling. They made it look easy and even seemed to be having fun.

This week on 5 Things in 15 Minutes, I’ll be joined by Rubén Alejandro Ramírez who leads Global DEI at the Syngenta Group, one of our clients. We’re going to talk about accountability, which is the “A” in my PSA formula for meaningful DEI success.

There are a lot of Venezuelan migrants where I live.

Lately, I’ve been talking to leaders and DEI committee members who want to know how to talk about DEI in this current landscape. They just don’t have the language to comfortably talk about DEI, either internally or externally. Fortunately, we have a workshop for that…it’s called Walk this Way: Your DEI FAQ.

Welcome to the New Year! I hope you’ve had a restful couple of weeks. I spent New Year’s Eve at a fun family wedding. The groom was my cousin’s son (technically my first cousin, once removed) and it was quite a young crowd. Given the homogeneity of my very white and Irish family, I was initially surprised by how diverse the wedding guests were.
