Featured quote

Bring it back to individuals. DEI is not supposed to mean ‘woke capitalism’ but if someone thinks that, you won’t be able to convince them otherwise by talking in big picture terms. Instead, bring it back to actual people and business challenges. Treating colleagues well, creating the best teams, protecting against groupthink. Give examples of efforts that have improved your firm’s culture or helped individuals flourish and contribute more. — Helena Morrissey
