In this episode, Trine Askholm is conversation with the researcher and postdoc, Caroline Demeyère and strategic leadership consultant, Marianne Egelund Siig, regarding the resistance people working with DEI face every day.
You will learn about the types of the resistance the consultants are faced with. The degree of the resistance and exactly how many of the participants in the research project experiences resistance in their DEI work.
We dive into the tactics to counter the resistance before and during the selling phase, the service delivery phase with the client and after the delivery of the service/product.
We talk about how resistance is both a hindrance to the work of progress and yet can also be perceived as a good thing. Specifically, we look at how the resistance differs in the DEI field compared to other fields and sectors.

We dive into the research about DEI consultants in Denmark, their prerequisites and backgrounds to do the work they do. Who are these DEI consultants in Denmark? And are they in fact diverse?
Do the organizations buying the DEI services know what they need to change their corporate culture and incorporate more DEI in their companies? What problems or issues do managers and leaders usually have when reaching out to DEI consultants for assistance.
