E1: Finding Your DEI Super Power

Why You’re The Right Person For This Role

What makes you uniquely gifted at this moment, at this time, to raise our voices in this arena? Have you ever asked yourself that question?

Over the last few weeks, I've deeply evaluated what makes us good at advocating for diversity and inclusion – it certainly isn't the work of diversity. It's something more. So the question is, what superpowers do you possess to do the work of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion?

Your Super Power is what makes you successful as a DEI advocate. It's what allows you to outperform, find resilience, and navigate the game of inclusion. Yes, it's a game – some of us play chess while others play checkers. Although we all have strengths that interplay with our role in DEI, have you ever connected your gifts as an individual to the work that you do on behalf of others and to eliminate inequality within the spaces we occupy? Let's start connecting you to the work you do. Without this connection, we quickly lose hope and become frustrated when things don't go the way they should.  

What are the unique abilities that make you the right person to do this job? What is your essential skill and knowledge that others wonder how do you do it? When you ask yourself, why do I keep doing the work of DEI – what comes to mind?

This program will help you understand your role and how your unique gifts have prepared you to be an advocate and ally for greater diversity and inclusion.
