The world is getting smaller as access to information gets easier and more readily available. This makes it even more important for leaders to understand what their values are and to be prepared to take a stance on it. Even more important is to have these values be reflective of humanity and hopefully in a way that leads people first.
Jennifer Thompson comes on the podcast to share her tips as an executive manager and public relations professional for aligning organizational action with their values.
Jennifer and Chris Lin talk about the importance of cultural competency, individualism in the workplace, and the application of humane orientation to better the employee experience.

How many times have you been asked for feedback and then nothing came of it?
According to Katherine McCord, leading people first is about servitude and taking action when something is brought up.
This is why recruiting, diversity, equity, and inclusion can be so hard, and at the same time is so ripe for transformation.
Katherine has been fascinated with recruiting since childhood. She has strong experience recruiting everything from Customer Service to CFOs, and has a background in process improvement and growing employee satisfaction. She founded Titan in 2014 with the dream of innovating hiring, and to help entrepreneurs realize their visions without breaking the bank. She is also striving to improve the hiring process on a national level by spreading good practices and generating proactive conversations via media. In April 2020, she founded a career show, Career Launch Live.
Katherine and Chris Lin talk about how the organizations need to be revolutionized like the candidate experience, recruiting, and diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.

As much as DEI is a current “hot topic” for organizations very few are taking the opportunity to question the assumptions that underpin the foundation of their talent selection process: resumes and interviews. If those tools are fundamentally harmful to creating an inclusive environment, then anything built on them will always fail on those agendas.
Michelle Olivier's argument is that until we remove these tools of oppression from the systems we use no real change can occur. #JoinLEAD in this discussion analyzing the efficacy and unintended consequences of resumes and interviews, before finding better options and a new hope.

Warning: This episode covers the topic of human trafficking and may be triggering to some.
Diversity, especially amongst Americans, is a crucial misunderstanding.
Being able to appreciate and recognize cultural diversity is key in many aspects of helping build foundations, but especially in human trafficking. From being able to recognize signs, to the appropriate approach to after care can all be traced back to the culture of all involved.
Kelli White leads this L.E.A.D. discussion on human trafficking and our different cultural backgrounds and normalcies as they relate to human trafficking, how we need to work to identify barriers and to overcome them, and the problem with the "numbers".

Whether it's a crude neighbor during a flight, a creepy Uber driver, or the person at the hotel bar that's clearly had one too many, women live in a radically different world than men when they travel. And with the recent rise of nationalism and existing sexism and bigotry in the U.S. and abroad, discrimination and even violence are grave concerns.
Once COVID-19 restrictions loosen, how do women and the marginalized get back to seeing the world while protecting themselves?
