Ep. 98: Repost: Finding your voice, working with allies, building your dream career, and creating a culture of inclusion with Mita Mallick (Chief Diversity Officer at Carta and Co-host of The Brown Table Talk Podcast)

If you’re looking for resources on how to create inclusion, order Mita’s book (out today!) “Reimagine Inclusion: Debunking 13 Myths To Transform Your Workplace” on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Reimagine-Inclusion-Debunking-Transform-Workplace/dp/1394177097 - currently #1 bestseller in HR category). Some of her myths include: - "I am all for diverse talent. As long as they are good." - "Our ad wasn’t racist. It was simply a mistake." - "These DEI efforts don’t benefit me. My voice as white man doesn’t count anymore." Each myth opens with a powerful story and then she leaves us with practical and actionable advice and tips on how to show up differently to work. It's a must have resource for anyone invested in building more inclusive cultures. In this episode with Mita Mallick, we discuss: - The vivid memories of her hair being burned by White boys in high school, and what she’s done to heal that trauma. - What do you do with the trauma of being bullied and othered?  - How having one person who is an ally can make a huge difference when you’re being bullied.  - What you can do when the bullies from school follow you to Corporate America and the system protects those bullies. - Why it’s OK to quit a toxic work environment and create your escape plan. - The true price that toxic leaders cost organizations, and why it’s the right thing to manage out the bullies. - Why change doesn’t start at conference room tables, but it starts at our kitchen room tables.   - How to have courageous conversations and build a culture of inclusion. - How to find the strength to keep writing and get a deal to publish your book even when you've been rejected for 4+ years.
