Hello, Community! I am excited to kick off this month’s Real Conversations from the C-Suite with my very special guest, colleague, and dear friend, Dr. Deena Brown, a dynamic author, speaker, and consultant dedicated to transformative leadership as a Global Director at Medtronic. In our first conversation, we’re going to consider the need for independence from the thought that AI will level the playing field regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion, when in fact, bias is built into AI simply because the developers who create AI have bias, even if the developers are diverse.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/

As we look forward, let us embrace both Juneteenth and July 4th not as separate pillars of freedom, but as complementary reflections of our ongoing American journey—one that values all narratives and respects every citizen's rights. Let these celebrations be a call to action to continue advocating for equity, to continue learning from our history, and to CONTINUE building a nation that truly upholds the dignity of EVERY American. To learn how you can be actively engaged, join me for my last Real Conversation from the C-Suite with my guest Ms. Tish NormanWeb - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/

The polished and powerful presence of Black professionals in various fields—be it law, medicine, the arts, or technology—speaks volumes about their indomitable spirit. Despite the systemic barriers that have existed historically, these individuals have risen, shaped cultures, and defined eras. In this episode of Real Conversations from the C-Suite with my guest, Ms. Tish Norman, we will discuss their elegance under pressure as a representation of what it means to not only survive but to thrive.Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/

The celebration of Juneteenth is not just a remembrance of an historical event. It’s also an opportunity to remember the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who said, “We are not makers of history. We are made BY history.” Let us be mindful of our past, responsible for our present, and hopeful for our future as we explore the resilience and unwavering spirit of Black professionals throughout American history. Join me and my guest Ms. Tish Norman to learn and know what you don’t know about Juneteenth.Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/

This month on Real Conversations from the C-Suite, I’ll be joined by a very special guest, Ms. Tish Norman, an adjunct professor of African American studies at Kentucky State University, corporate trainer, conference speaker, and co-author of 7 leadership books.

The celebration of Juneteenth is not just a remembrance of a historical event, but it's also a testament to the resilience and unwavering spirit of Black professionals throughout American history. This resilience is encapsulated beautifully by Maya Angelou, who once said, “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know WHO you are, WHAT you can rise from, and HOW you can still come out of it.” These are words of wisdom we can all live by.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/

Thank you for returning for Dr. Anita’s third conversation with Mr. Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work as they help us get clear about who is everybody. For the past couple of years, using the word Diversity is being reframed as the “D” word. Diversity means a lot of things in addition to race, ethnicity, gender identity, and disability. Diversity also includes recognition of neuro-diversity and a host of other ways people present as their best selves. Let’s lean into the discomfort about the “D” word and talk about it.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/

Remembering the Significance of Being a Great Place to Work For AllShow Notes: We find ourselves at a critical juncture, where the very foundation of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in our corporate sphere is under siege. So, what can we do in the face of this crisis? How can we reignite the flames of DEI in corporate America? One powerful avenue is through events like the Great Place to Work For All Summit. This month we will enjoy the rebroadcast of my most popular Real Conversations from the C-Suite series with Mr. Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work.

In our last conversation, we gained some insight into the costs associated with being the boss. Being mindful of the determination, drive, and discipline – what I call a 3D mindset -- required to be a successful business owner, the question of the hour for our panel is this: What do you feel is your most significant contribution in the area(s) of science, technology, engineering, the arts, or math, aka STEAM?

Being one’s own boss has often been touted as the ultimate thing to do if you have an adventurous spirit, spunk, and the stick-to-itiveness to chart your own path. The first time I took a day for myself just to hang out, it was pretty amazing to think about the fact that there were folks taking care of business on my behalf so that I could get away. But being the boss does come with a cost. Today, my panel of women CEOs -- Pearl Hanks, Principal at P Enterprise Consulting Services; Kristy Grant-Hart, Founder & CEO, Spark Compliance; Marina Grijalva, Founder & CEO, Mundo Academy; Sade Stephenson, Program Director, McKallen Medical Training Center; and Dr. Gloria Tumbaga, Founder, Wellness Diagnostics and Medispa -- will explore this question: What have been your unique challenges as a woman-owned small business?
