Diversity

A Conversation with Dr. Steve Yacovelli - The Gay Leadership Dude

We're kicking off our June 2023 Pride series with Dr. Steve Yacovelli, aka The Gay Leadership Dude. Steve is an expert in diversity and inclusion, change management, and leadership both in and outside of the workplace whose not-so-hidden agenda is to make the world a bit more inclusive for us all.

He’s worked internally for folks like The Walt Disney Company, IBM, Tupperware Brands, and several universities before starting his own consulting firm, TopDog Learning Group in 2008.

In this episode, Steve talks about ways that leaders, (and by leaders, he means all of us), can be more inclusive, and he explores the benefits of inclusion and the costs of organizations not getting it right. Steve also shares an actionable framework for tackling silent collusion. 

Inclusion, Belonging and Safety Performance - with Dr Fawaz K Bitar

We're joined this episode by a distinguished guest and global expert: Senior Vice President Health, Safety, Environment & Carbon at bp, Dr Fawaz K Bitar, known to many as "Fuzzy." Together, we explore the supportive relationship between a culture of inclusion and belonging and safety performance.

Veterans Day with Colonel Angela Reber

This Friday, November 11th is Veterans Day in the United States. This national holiday honors those who have served in our country's armed forces, and was originally recognized in 1918 to mark the armistice that ended World War I. This year, we have Colonel Angela Reber joining us to discuss ways that organizations can support veterans who are transitioning into the civilian workforce, or who are currently part of the workforce.
