Laurie McGraw is speaking with Inspiring Women Priya Bathija, Jhaymee Tynan, and Phoebe Yang at the WBL (Women Business Leaders of the U.S. Health Care Industry Foundation) Annual Summit.
A consultant and two lawyers walk into a room. What happens?
They leave as friends with a renewed commitment to DEI.
This conversation centers DEI discussions with a focus on business excellence. It must start there. This powerhouse trio is not interested in simple, cursory discussions or performative company efforts regarding DEI. Rather, they discuss how diversity around the leadership table can impact the speed to attain and impact of results. They provide practical approaches for how to address those leaders may nod their heads in agreement to DEI objectives, yet sabotage in sometimes subtle and sometimes not so subtle ways.
In making the case for diversity in leadership, you will also learn from Priya, Jhaymee and Phoebe, the importance of friendship. Having your “tribe” along with you when you do hard things, take risks, put yourself out there, and oh yes… succeed.
