Episode 68: Champion Diversity and Vulnerability

Effective leaders not only advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) but also embody vulnerability—an essential quality that cultivates openness, empathy, community and inclusivity. As a leader within your organization, do you help to foster a culture that is safe for dialogue, welcoming of ideas, acknowledging of diverse journeys, providing sponsorships and supporting growth?

Kerry Robinson, Commercial Distribution Director at Ping Identity shares why it is important for organizations and leaders to promote awareness and drive change by expecting and supporting a diverse and inclusive workforce. You accomplish this by championing all identities. 

Highlights include:

How others have supported her leadership journey and set the stage for Kerry to support others. People want to be seen, empower them to show up.

Kerry's belief that, "there's nothing more important than to be authentically you."

Kerry's conviction that, "When your most passionate people get quiet, this is when the leaders should absolutely be concerned."
