The Shape of Change: Embracing Inclusive Leadership With Jennifer Brown

Michelle welcomes Jennifer Brown to discuss the changing landscape of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. Jennifer shares insights from her decades-long career, reflecting on both the progress made in DEI and the current challenges and retrenchment facing organizations and professionals in the field. They talk about what it truly means to be an inclusive leader, how sustained efforts toward psychological safety benefit both individuals and organizations, and why change often requires intentional discomfort and ongoing self-reflection.
