DEI, Leadership, and Starting With The Heart

In today’s episode, Jeremy has a very thought provoking conversation with Tru Pettigrew. They start by talking about diversity, equity, and inclusion - Tru explains where his passion for DEI originated from, what each of those terms means, he offers his thoughts on where most organizations are at in 2022 with DEI, and he explains the important role that curiosity, intentionality, empathy, and listening play in this conversation. Jeremy and Tru also talk about the differences between active and competitive listening, as well as dealing with imposter syndrome. Their conversation ends with a discussion about different aspects of leadership, including handling tough situations and setting and managing expectations.
