Within her role, Carin has global responsibility for the development and execution of the company’s DEI&B (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging) strategy.

Great and beautiful words!

[@georgiannemessina4762]

Excellent presentation. Words that I can apply to myself to be more welcoming and accepting to the group of volunteers that I work along with.

[@racheldobbie3785]

I always smile and say hello, and ask them where they have come from, when I don't know them at a meeting, so that we have something to chat about. I am always aware that even though I may be comfortable at meetings, where I don't know anyone, many other people are not, so it helps them to feel calmer and welcomed.

[@racheldobbie3785]

Done. thank you

[@danonstewart1075]

Psychologically safe….PEACE!!! Love this message

“A society that puts equality-in the sense of equality of outcome-ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom. The use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom, and the force, introduced for good purposes, will end up in the hands of people who use it to promote their own interests.” ~Thomas Sowell

Blaming others for your predicament is admitting defeat and will insure it's continuance.

[@glenncox9128]

That’s placing identity ahead of merit. ALWAYS a bad move.

[@KarynBuxman]

Thanks for sharing your DEI strategy. You've really helped raise my awareness. I love connecting with people through humor and have found if it's positive and uplifting, it can help people feel included. Congrats on a great TEDx Talk!

[@travissharon1536]

DEI is unfortunately what the stoics would called bad life grammar.

[@hellogoodbye4061]

You obviously are not a straight white man - whom the DEI grifters hate with a passion akin to no other.

[@RoselynAkerBlackPsyD]

I love your perspective on your DEI Strategy! Congrats on a wonderful TEDx talk

[@hellogoodbye4061]

Do you think straight white men have "positive personal experiences of belonging" under DEI when every metric of this grift portrays them as the ultimate villian? This woman spews little more than standard generic word salad broad sweeping generalities. Woke to the max. Yawn inducing.

Very nice!

this almost made me cry, so relatable in the workplace

[@hellogoodbye4061]

This almost made me vomit, so unrelatable in the workplace....get in there and do the job you were hired to do and quit whining about your braids and tattoos not being "accepted." Cripes, she needs to get a backbone.

[@glenncox9128]

In the workplace, if you can’t do the job, then maybe you don’t belong.

[@ldc9685]

How is that your response smh? If you watch the entire video, you'll see your comment doesn't make sense and is off topic. She's simply talking about creating a work environment where everyone can thrive. To your point, it's common sense that if you can't do the job it's probably not for you.

[@glenncox9128]

@@ldc9685 Her lecture is vapid propaganda. She’s talking about advancing the careers of unqualified, incompetent workers based upon their identity labels. That’s what D.E.I. is. Communist propaganda designed to destabilize functional hierarchies.

[@hellogoodbye4061]

@@ldc9685 In order to "thrive" people have to get all giddy about her braids and tattoos? What utter nonsense. Get in there and do the job she was hired to do and do not put your feel-feels ahead of the actual reason you're there.

Oh gawd

[@quhawks48]

Its amazing that there is an entire racket out there today that literally produces nothing of value but makes billions of dollars.

[@joebloe923]

As a supplier to 78% companies in the US, we are increasing our costs to any company that enforces this ideology. Cheers 🍻

[@toribynum9400]

Great! Please share the name of your company so that your ideologies can be shared. I see a lot of people are not educated on this feed.

Human beings are born with different capabilities and capacities. Those who are free, are not equal and those who are equal are not free

I've been seeing the diversity and inclusion in Liberal cities, and it looks awfully violent.

Get in there and do the job she was hired to do and do not put your feel-feels ahead of the actual reason you're there. She's little more than a professional crybaby, walking around the workplace with a chip on her shoulder just itching for someone to knock it off.

[@ElParacletoPodcast]

Sorry, but you have been doing it, and you are still doing it, because you don’t follow God, you follow the world and the flesh.
