  • Episode 30 -- Is DEI Ending or Evolving?
    Feb 19 2025

    DOES DEI HAVE A FUTURE?

    Today I share the highlights from our latest market-voice briefing whitepaper on the current state of DEI in the United States. Have DEI programs in the workplace come to the end of the road, or will DEI evolve and endure?

    Tune in today to catch the highlights of what we found in our briefing whitepaper titled The State of DEI: A Reflection Point.

    This briefing whitepaper is a compilation of information, facts, market voices and resources to help businesses understand the current state and future of DEI. This publication compiles a wide range of input and perspectives from business leaders, legal analysts, HR professionals, and DEI consultants and managers, whose collective input makes it clear that DEI is at a reflection point, rather than an inflection point. Following the insights, advice and suggestions from these sources, corporations and entities throughout the U.S. can help organizations reflect on their DEI programs, ensuring legal compliance, good management practices and clear communication.

  • Episode 29 -- The Beat Down on Gen X
    Dec 27 2024

    Why is Gen X battling a beat down online currently?

    Join me today as we explore what's happening through the practice of stakeholder analysis.

    You'll learn how to "seek first to understand" about the smallest of the adult living generations, and you'll get to "know thy stakeholder" through the lens of historical, social and cultural shaping, and the insights lived experience provides.

    This exercise in stakeholder analysis is not only somewhat entertaining, but it's a best practice that will encourage respect for diversity and help your organization build relationships that build business.

    Come on! Let's dive in for some more PR learning love!

  • Episode 28 -- PR Mail Bag Q&A
    Nov 30 2024

    PR Mail Bag Q&A (with Bonus Recipes!)

    After that heavy helping of trust problems we've dished out over the past three weeks, today's episode is going light and a bit random with our mail-bag format.

    Today we dive into a cornucopia of common questions we get from clients, podcast listeners, new professionals, students and sometimes business leaders with no PR experience.

    We'll dig into which branch of PR is the Big Wheel of them all, what hiring leaders need to consider when scouting new PR talent, why PR pros leave organizations, and what do those letters "APR" mean.

    No notepad needed today. Just kick back, languish in your Thanksgiving Day foodie hangover and ponder the philosophies of public relations.

    Roasted Butternut Squash with Sausage and Spinach
