The follow-up to Part I you have all been waiting for is ready to stream. In this episode, Dr. James Knight, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) consultant and author of the book, “Heart: A Journey Toward Cultural Humility,” shares what he has learned so far in the course of his work and how he sees the need for DEI-centered conversations continue to rise as organizations negotiate their values and culture. This, and so much more awaits you.
