Strap in because this one is longer than most but well worth the time investment. Sandra Wiley, president of Boomer Consulting, joins to discuss Boomer’s DEI Consortium, the talent shortage, and how firms can rise above the talent shortage. But we also discuss how DEI is a “human issue” even though many try to politicize it, particularly during these few weeks prior to a presidential election. We share personal stories and how each of us learned that listening to others is vital to improving the human condition for all of us.Sandra also mentioned some books in this podcast, including:
