Hi folks, see my exclusive interview with BRAINZ Magazine out now! For those who would like more of an introduction to my approach, and what inspired me to build ALG, this article is for you! We discuss the roots of ALG Consulting, some pivotal moments in my own journey, what needs to change in DEI, who inspires me including the family pooch, Maya (featured in the photo!) and the urgent need for a human-centred approach to building safer, more respectful workplaces.
Here is a snippet of our conversation.
I have seen the rise of a checklist and task-driven mentality in the DEI world, which often fails to account for the human element. I have heard leaders dismiss communication skills training, for example, as not concrete or not practical. In fact, the reverse is true. These “soft skills” (I prefer the term relational skills) are a core part of what we need to create inclusive, safer and welcoming workplaces where everyone can belong.
Read the whole article here, drop me a line to let me know your thoughts, and share with folks that may benefit.
Until we meet, take care of yourselves, and each other.
