OVERVIEW

Episode 2 is one of the most honest conversations we’ve had about creating authentic, supportive, and safe workplaces we’ve ever had. It’s one thing to say that a company is “family” and supports staff from diverse backgrounds, and it’s quite another to look through the eyes of Christine Priester at how these intentions land and the outcomes they produce on a person. Christine discusses how she “turned her pain into power,” and the tactical components of what she’s felt were most supportive by the organizations that employ her in her career. In Christine’s case, this was walking through the journey of leaving behind her experience with human trafficking, what she needed for true support in the workplace, and where businesses can learn better to support others like her – and more importantly, reframing broad brushstrokes of intention towards diversity, equity and inclusion efforts towards specific actions. Here’s the bottom line: unless individuals can see themselves in your organization and their experience, they’re not being supported. The rest of the conversation is what, from her own experience, Christine needed to be seen and supported in her career and community and the humility and approachability of others necessary to facilitate it.
