FCM136: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Your Business with Portia Boston

If you weren't already actively improving upon diversity, equity, and inclusion in your business, it's likely that the Black Lives Matter movement and the violence inflicted on black communities and individuals that rose to the forefront of our cultural awareness in 2020 may have prompted you to take stronger action and actively contribute to eradicating white supremacy and bias against people of color, as well as bias towards queer, trans, disabled, undocumented people, people with records, women, and all lives along the gender spectrum. We at Fitness Career Mastery have committed ourselves to this mission, and want to put you in an empowered position to do the same. As educators, we naturally believe this begins with more knowledge and awareness. This is exactly why we've brought an incredible educator and coach onto the show today to teach you some simple ways that you can take action to build diversity, equity, and inclusion into your business. If not purely for the belief in equality, then also for what our guest today shares. Companies with greater racial, ethic, and gender diversity experience greater creativity, are better at problem solving, show increased employee engagement and retention, a strengthened reputation, and even greater profitability.
