Season 2 Finale
/When your season 2 finale episode starts with the dulcet tones of the ice cream truck in the background, you know it's gonna be good!
Kelly & Lara reflect on the guests and topics from their second season, and walk their talk by continuing to refine the podcast format. You can expect to hear more guests in season 3, more overt conversations around DEI, and more attention on the good business that's happening - because it really is possible.
In the powerful words of Kelly Stewart (wholeheartedly supported by Lara Heacock):
If your company already values diversity, provides equity, and fosters inclusion – this is time to double down on what’s working and use that as a springboard to surface new ideas and expand your presence.
If your company aspires to value diversity, provide equity, and foster inclusion – then it’s time for an organizational self-reflection – to exam your values and practices, to ask “What do we care deeply about? What do we want to be known for going forward?” and understanding that the planning for “what you do” will look very different.
If your company is comfortable with the status quo, then this is not really the podcast for you.
