Fireside chat facilitated by Martine Hartley-Parsons Prepare to challenge conventional narratives as we do a critical examination of whether current efforts are truly driving meaningful change or merely perpetuating the status quo. Through the lens of a real life example of a typical DEI initiative, we'll untangle the nuances between performative gestures and authentic transformation. Key outcomes: * learn how to critically assess current Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives and how to distinguish between authentic progress and performative actions * gain insights into effective strategies for fostering authentic change in organizations, focusing on systemic shifts, accountability, and creating inclusive cultures that go beyond surface-level representation * understand how to advocate for meaningful DEI outcomes
