Cordell Carter: It's not about success, it's about significance for Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging

In the first episode in 2024, Cordell Carter and I discuss:

• The definition of belonging
• Diversity as being a given in organizations due to the changing demographics in the country
•  Belonging being the destination and DEI, the strategy to work towards that destination
• Framing DEIB in terms of profit-and-loss (P&L)
• Ways to get involved in the community to spark change
