Legal Grounds | Denise Hamilton on Laying Down Old Stories, Creating New Social Frameworks, and Why Malice Isn’t a Requirement for Harm
Manage episode 431576690 series 2775981
This week's episode is a conversation about what it takes to keep having tough conversations.
What was once the poster-child for corporate and social responsibility, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts are now either underfunded, swept away quietly, or, in some corners, vilified.
We've talked at length on this podcast about the power of diverse teams, but they don't happen by accident, and they certainly don't happen without a difficult conversation or two.
That’s why I felt lucky to be joined this week by Denise Hamilton, a nationally recognized Diversity & Inclusion leader, specializing in Ally training.
Denise is the author of the best-selling book, "Indivisible: How to Forge Our Differences into a Stronger Future" as well as the Founder and CEO of WatchHerWork, a digital learning platform for professional women.
In our conversation this week, we discussed why story is the gateway to empathy, explored what happens when we 'switch the nouns', and even managed to get in a few laughs.
Enjoy the show.
