Episode 118: How Inclusive and Diverse are Your Zoom Meetings?

Now more than ever, companies are paying attention to their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. But what does it all mean? More people of color? More LGBTQ+? More women? More religious representation? Diversity is about more than changing stock images on a website and the bullet points of a mission statement. You can see how diversity, equity and inclusive a company is by observing a Zoom meeting. (I would say Board meeting, but most of us are not meeting in person.) Notice who is speaking. Notice who is not. Notice the reactions and body language shifts. Notice who has their camera on. All of these are signals of who feels safe, included and acknowledged. In today's episode, I'm sharing tips on how you can shift your meetings to be more diverse, equitable, inclusive and productive.
