Full Description
A groundbreaking book about the real race conversations we should be having in the workplace.
Have you ever struggled with initiating conversations that build trust in the workplace?
Have you had trouble attracting and retaining minority talent?
Listen In provides insight that can be applied to every business, throwing the reader into real-life conversations in a fictional, compelling format.
Jim, the CEO of a large corporation, prides himself on having an open mind when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in his personal and work life, until he overhears a conversation between five African Americans at a restaurant one evening. A group of friends are engaging in a deep discussion on their experiences in the workplace, and Jim quickly learns that the depth of DEI goes beyond the data he has grown accustomed to spouting off to his colleagues.
LaToya, Shane, Maya, Elijah, and Roshunda all have different backgrounds and personalities, but when they come together at the table for their weekly conversations, they get deep about the race issues they face in the workplace. Such as Black hair and the contradiction that height isn't always an advantage for Black males. Their opinions and experiences stretch outside the metrics and scorecards that companies use to measure their DEI plans, and spurs a rippling effect in Jim, as he blazes a trail to accelerate progress of the inclusion goals his company has been struggling with for years.
