Another goal, she adds, is to go beyond the buzzword “DEI.”
“DEI is a buzzword that everyone knows and uses,” she says. “But everyone has the meat behind the words, and I’m not 100% sure that it can be used flexibly as a tool rather than just, ‘Hey, I said DEI. That’s enough, right?
“I hope this course will make people aware. They think that the air around us, the air we breathe, is the same everywhere, but it is not. And if you don’t live in that place, you never think about it, because not only are you not thinking about the air, but your air is fine too. It’s about having the tools to do so so you can start taking a more proactive approach in your organization and your practice.”
