Today's episode is an inspirational lesson in how to be a positive force for change in your workplace – and in our world as a whole. Carliss Miller, our guest today, is an organizational transformation architect, changemaker, and dedicated Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) leader on a mission to drive positive change in organizations powered by employee engagement. She wants to bring people along with a shared vision of hope. This work is not without its challenges, though! In our conversation, Carliss shares the barriers and doubt she's experienced – and how she has found continued motivation and courage to advocate for change.

We also dive into:

What to do when you doubt yourself or your voice
How to take care of yourself when things are hard
Leading change when things are complex and nuanced
What's challenging in DEI right now and what's giving Carliss hope
Giving yourself permission to reschedule important conversations when you know you don't have the energy needed for them
