Just last week, I had an insightful live interview on KCAL Morning News (@kcalnews) with Rudabeh Shahbazi, discussing a phenomenon I've termed the "popping of the DEI bubble" in the workplace.

Remember the surge in DEI initiatives post-George Floyd? 

Companies everywhere were hiring DEI leaders. But many of these initiatives lacked real support and resources, making them unsustainable.

DEI shouldn't be just another item on the corporate checklist. 

It needs to be a fundamental part of how companies operate. It's not just about hiring a DEI leader. It's about embedding these values into every aspect of your business.

For those leading teams or companies, ask yourself this.

Is your company just trying to look good, or are you genuinely building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment? Because DEI done right is not just ethical – it's smart business.

Looking ahead, it's crucial to view DEI not as a fleeting trend, but as an essential, ongoing journey. It's about genuine commitment and continuous action.

Are you prepared to be part of this meaningful change? Let’s have a chat in the comments section.
