About The Book
CEOs , C-SUITE EXECUTIVES AND LEADERS have a valuable role in the continuum of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) for their organizations. Powering Inclusive Cultures shows why bias training alone doesn’t work and gives the reader tools that will work. Through case studies, learning activities and DEI data, readers learn why measurement is important to the task of creating real organizational change.
In-depth analysis across race/ethnicity, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability and veteran status demographics provides insight into how different groups think, feel and act regarding their organization’s culture, management, policies, practices and procedures.
Learning activities included in the book can be downloaded (with an answer key) from the author’s website.

Author, Trailblazers: How Top Business Leaders are Accelerating Results through Inclusion and Diversity
Small and medium sized organizations are competing for talent with large organizations. In that competitive world, having an inclusive and welcoming organization is a must have—not a nice to have. Powering Inclusive Cultures is an excellent book to find out what needs doing in terms of diversity, equity and inclusion— and how to do it. Begin with measurement, so you can track your progress. Until then, you don’t know what you don’t know.

Author, Allyship in Action
I read a lot of books on DEI. What I really appreciated about this book are the learning activities which provide some really impactful aha moments. Spoiler alert ... did you know that “without diverse leadership, People of Color are 24 percent less likely than straight white men to win endorsements for their ideas?” I can see using the quizzes in each chapter as a great icebreaker for team meetings!
