Are you rooted in your deep reason for wanting to do diversity equity and inclusion work?

Are you personally invested in doing it and connected to the meaning it has for you as an individual, as well as for your organization? Or are you more connected to the social expectation to do this work and to use more culturally sensitive language?

In episode 1 of A Recipe for Transformation, Chrysta explores what it takes to do truly impactful DEI work, how to connect to your personal and organizational why, and some of the societal narratives that might be interfering with a deeper connection to DEI work, highlighting in particular:  

• The importance of having a strong vision and being able to communicate it
• What is your “Why”, why it’s important to know it and what generic motivations might be playing a role
• DEI work is personal, and it will bring up a lot, and assessing whether you’re ready to embrace the journey
• The fundamental questions to ask if your organization is thinking about doing DEI work
• What being an “anti-racist” organization really means and the work on all levels that it implies 

“They took their DEI question and made it personal. They made a connection to who they are as people and why DEI matters to them as humans and also matters to their organization. The question for you is, why does it matter if your organization is doing DEI work? It matters to get specific. What is your vision and the mission of your organization? Start there.”
