Are you a leader in an organization striving to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)?

If so, it's crucial to understand that simply appointing a Chief Diversity Officer or a DEI leader with a small team and limited resources isn't enough.

Too often, leaders assume that the problem lies elsewhere and give their DEI teams insufficient tools to make real change.

On this week’s episode of She Leads Now, I am joined by Michele Heyward. Tune in as we explore the challenges that organizations face when trying to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace.

Michele Heyward is the founder and CEO of PositiveHire, a tech company engineered to connect Black, Latinx and Indigenous women who are experienced scientists, engineers and technology professionals to management roles.

As an experienced construction project manager in the energy sector, Michele is armed with technical sales and technology transfer experience. Michele’s vision is to not only help underrepresented women in STEM find inclusive workplaces, but to also prepare business organizations to receive them
