Hello Community! If you’ve ever – or never – thought about what makes conversations about race so uncomfortable, this show is for you. Because if we want to create truly inclusive workplaces, we have to build psychological safety—environments where people feel free to say what they really think -- with professional courtesy and respect for those with whom we are speaking -- even if it's unpopular. Prepare to take notes as you listen in to my final Real Conversation from the C-Suite with my guests, Todd Levinson and Andre Thomas, co-hosts of The Healing Race Podcast, as they help us appreciate the process and get through to the other side of challenging conversations.

Hello Community! In case you hadn’t noticed, DEI is at a crossroads. But here’s the hard truth: If we want to move forward, we have to get real about total diversity. That means making room at the table for everyone, including those who have been skeptical or outright opposed to past diversity approaches. If we say we want inclusion, that has to include people we may not agree with. Otherwise, what are we really building? Join me for another Real Conversation from the C-Suite with my guests, Todd Levinson and Andre Thomas, co-hosts of The Healing Race Podcast, as they help us unpack what gets in the way when we talk about race in real ways that increase understanding.

Hello Community! This month on Real Conversations from the C-Suite I will be joined by Todd Levinson and Andre Thomas co-founders and hosts of the podcast The Healing Race Show. Friends for over 25 years, Todd is a Jewish man and best friends with Andre, a gay African American man, and they freely talk about living in each other’s presence as roommates and now co-hosts. It’s the most fascinating Real Conversation from the C-Suite you’ve ever heard.

Hello Community! Beginning with a shout-out to National Women’s Day on March 8th, and Ceasar Chavez Day on March 31st, I have quite a bit to share with you today. For the past few years, the term "DEI" has carried both promise and pressure. It's been a rallying cry for progress, but in some spaces, it's become a political lightning rod. We are at a crossroads. At its core, this work isn’t about checking boxes, establishing quotas, or maintaining compliance. Retiring the term "DEI" does not mean walking away from the work. It means rewiring our approach. This work is too important not to get right. Let’s do it together.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/
Hello Community! As mandates to dismantle DEI initiatives gain traction, many organizations are at a crossroads. Those that choose to prioritize inclusion and equity as part of their culture will be the ones that thrive in the face of change. Culture is more than a buzzword—it’s the invisible thread that shapes how people experience the workplace. It’s about shared values, everyday interactions, and a commitment to fairness. Organizations that focus on creating inclusive cultures will be better positioned to innovate, retain talent, and remain competitive in a rapidly changing world. Join me for our last Real Conversation from the C-Suite with Ms. Britt Houge, Founder, and CEO of The Collective Good, to remind us that commitment to culture will be the way to thrive in 2025.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/
Hello Community! With all the controversy surrounding the term DEI, some are asking: Is it time to retire it? For some, the term has become synonymous with division or performative efforts. If we were to retire it, how could we rewire it, and what could replace it? My guest on Real Conversations from the C-suite, Ms. Britt Hogue, Founder, and CEO of The Collective Good returns to help us brainstorm possibilities.

Hello Community! In case you hadn’t noticed, there is a real push to dismantle DEI as we know it to be. Many argue that we’ve always had DEI, just under different names. Efforts to address inequality—whether through civil rights movements, affirmative action, or workplace fairness initiatives—have always sought to create a level playing field. The language may change, but the mission endures. Join me for another Real Conversation from the C-Suite when my guest, Ms. Britt Hogue, Founder and CEO of The Collective Good, helps us recognize what DEI has been, is now, and can become in the future other than three little, yet impactful letters.

Hello Community! February is Black History Month—a time to reflect on the past, engage with the present, and envision a more inclusive future. One topic sparking much conversation lately is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, or DEI. But what does DEI truly mean, and why has it become so divisive? My guest this month on Real Conversations from the C-Suite, Ms. Britt Hogue, Founder, and CEO of The Collective Good, will help us think through this question from several perspectives.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/
February is here, and as we step into Black History Month, we find ourselves reflecting on the past, engaging with the present, and envisioning a more inclusive future… still. Today, I want to unpack a topic that has sparked much discussion, debate, and even division in recent years—Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, or DEI. What does DEI truly mean? And why has it become such a divisive term? Let’s start with the basics. DEI, at its core, is about creating spaces where everyone has an equitable chance to succeed, where differences are valued as strengths, and where inclusion becomes the foundation of how we work together. But as the term has gained prominence, it's also attracted pushback. For some, it feels like a political agenda. For others, it’s been co-opted into buzzwords that lack real action. So, what’s behind the resistance? Stay tuned and find out more.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/
Hello Community! As January draws to a close and we prepare to step into February, think about the last time you allowed yourself to truly play at work. Creativity and play aren’t just for children; they’re essential tools for navigating complex challenges. Whether it’s brainstorming sessions, team-building activities, or simply creating space for innovative thinking, play can unlock new ways of approaching culture and change. In a time when rigidity threatens to stifle progress, creativity and play remind us to remain flexible, adaptive, and open to new possibilities. They allow us to see obstacles not as insurmountable walls but as puzzles to be solved. Join me for our last Real Conversation from the C-Suite with Avish Parashar to help us harness the power of creativity and play in the workplace.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/
Hello Community! To quote Bob Dylan who wrote and sang the song "The Times They Are a-Changin'” let’s have a real conversation about the fact that in times like these, it’s tempting to default to vague, lofty ideals. But if we want to make meaningful progress, we need SMART goals—those that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. For example, instead of saying, “We want to improve diversity,” a SMART goal might look like, “We will increase representation of underrepresented groups in leadership roles by 10% by the end of the year.” At the same time, let’s not completely discount the value of non-SMART goals in the form of visionary thinking. Visionary thinking, the kind that may seem unmeasurable at first, is where innovation begins. By blending SMART goals with a willingness to dream big, we can maintain momentum and ensure that DEI is more than just a checkbox—it’s a cornerstone of business strategy. My guest on Real Conversations from the C-suite, Avish Parashar, will explain how to do that.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/
Hello Community! We’re halfway through January in a new year and you may have noticed that some things have changed. And, you may have noticed that change can be hard. It can be disruptive. And sometimes, it can feel downright disheartening. But here’s the thing: while we may not always get to choose the changes, we do get to choose how we respond to them. Crying has its place, but laughter—oh, laughter is a powerful tool. It doesn’t just lighten the mood; it also creates connections and fosters creativity. Laughter reminds us that even in the darkest moments, joy is possible. So, as we navigate culture, complexity, and change, let’s commit to finding humor in the struggle. Not to dismiss the seriousness of the challenges but to stay human through it all. Join me for another Real Conversation from the C-Suite when my guest, Avish Parashar helps us to choose laughter.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/
Hello Community and Happy New Year! As you make plans to thrive in 2025, I wanted to introduce a concept you might find innovative: Improv! In improv, the phrase “yes, and…” keeps the energy moving forward. It’s a way of acknowledging what’s happening while building on it to create something new. So instead of responding to the year’s anticipated challenges with “no, but…” let’s embrace a “yes, and…” mindset. Yes, DEI is under fire—and we can use this as an opportunity to reframe how we cultivate inclusion and belonging within our workplaces. When we shift the conversation from compliance to culture, we position ourselves to do more than survive this moment—we can thrive in it by reimagining what inclusion looks like beyond politics. My guest this month on Real Conversations from the C-Suite, Mr. Avish Parashar, is going to show us how to leverage the power of improv.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/
Happy New Year! As we kick off 2025, the air is thick with uncertainty, and for many, apprehension. But before we let this reality hijack our hope for the future, I invite you to join me in reimagining the path forward by approaching this moment with clarity, creativity, and resilience. In improv, the phrase “yes, and…” keeps the energy moving forward. It’s a way of acknowledging what’s happening while building on it to create something new. So instead of responding to the new year’s challenges with “no, but…” let’s embrace a “yes, and…” mindset.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/

Hello Community and welcome back to another Real Conversations from the C-Suite. This month my guests are Dr. Mayra Austin, founder and CEO of Management Cues, and Dr. Sarai Koo, Chief Visionary and IDEAS Officer of Project SPICES, LLC . Both these dynamic women bring distinct perspectives and expertise to the table, and our first discussion will delve into ways psychological safety, mental wellness, and cultural inclusivity play a role in creating spaces where people and partnerships can flourish considering what the corporate landscape may bring in 2025.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/
In the corporate world, we often hear about the benefits of diverse teams, and the data shows that organizations with diverse workforces are often more innovative, resilient, and responsive. But true partnership goes beyond just diversity in race, gender, or background—it’s about appreciating the rich perspectives that each person brings. The gift of diverse partnerships is also about recognizing and valuing how people think differently. Cognitive diversity in teams allows us to see challenges from various angles—logical, creative, strategic, and operational—all of which add up to robust solutions that a single perspective alone could never achieve.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/
Hello Community! As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving next week, I am joined again by my guests Jason Eisner and Neil Pretty, co-founders of Aristotle Performance. Today, we’ll reflect on what we can be thankful for in terms of what we know about psych safety, especially as it plays into navigating potentially tense election conversations at the dinner table—turning them into moments of understanding rather than conflict. Next week, Real Conversations from the C-Suite (where the “C” stands for cooking) will be happening around my dinner table, so I’ll see you next month.

Hello Community! This month on Real Conversations from the C-Suite, my guests are Jason Eisner and Neil Pretty, co-founders of Aristotle Performance. Our focus this month is being thankful for psych safety. We’ll first explore the role of psychological safety and mental wellness in creating environments where people can thrive, both at home and in the workplace. We’ll also look ahead to Psych Safety Day 2024, featuring keynote speaker Dr. Amy Edmondson, author of The Right Kind of Wrong, whose work helps us reimage failure and growth in psychologically safe spaces.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/
Hello Community! Welcome to November and two significant events: The elections and Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving also brings with it the dreaded dinner table conversations, especially in the wake of elections. Whether the results align with your beliefs or not, chances are you’ll find yourself sitting across from someone with an opposing view. And that’s where the concept of psychological safety can really help us navigate those potentially tense moments. If you didn’t catch my October series titled “Discussing Hot Topics Without Torching Relationships” I’ve got you covered with some insights about maintaining your mental wellness in time for Thanksgiving dinner, to stay tuned...

Thank you for returning for the last in our series of Real Conversations from the C-Suite with Ms. Terri Wilson, founder and CEO of Doing HR Differently. I hope you have found our journey in exploring ways to discuss hot topics without torching relationships to have been valuable. When talking about reframing the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) discussion from difficult to different, here's the framework I like to use: Diversity is a fact, Equity is a choice, Inclusion is an action, and Belonging is the outcome. Each of these elements requires a distinct approach, and none of them happen by accident. When engaging in these conversations, remember that the goal might not always be to reach agreement, but rather to raise awareness. Sometimes, it’s about planting seeds of thought that will grow over time. And don’t forget the work YOU need to do to ensure you’re achieving your discussion goals. Self-reflection is a powerful tool for navigating complex conversations.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 my third Real Conversation from the C-Suite with Ms. Terri Wilson, founder and CEO of Doing HR Differently. As we continue exploring the subtleties of discussing hot topics without torching relationships, it’s important to note that even the most well-meaning people can get tripped up in failing to manage intent and impact. You may intend to have a thoughtful discussion, but if your timing or tone is off, the impact could be entirely different. Your discussion partner might feel like you’re dismissing their concerns, distracting from the real issue, or even trying to draw them into a frustrating debate. None of these outcomes lead to meaningful dialogue. So, here’s a suggestion: before even beginning a potentially heated discussion, be strategic about appropriateness by considering the places, spaces, and faces that are part of the conversation.

Thank you for returning for my second Real Conversation from the C-Suite with Ms. Terri Wilson, founder and CEO of Doing HR Differently. Here’s a hard truth: you might have all your ducks and data points lined up in a row and still not get your idea across if the person you're speaking with isn’t in a place to receive it emotionally, psychologically, or factually. You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Meet people where they are,” and that’s exactly what I mean here. If someone is not ready to hear your message, pushing it on them can result in frustration for both parties. Instead, take a reflective, rather than reactive approach. Ask yourself, “Am I focusing on being RIGHT, or am I focusing on having my message RECEIVED?” It’s not about winning. It’s about MUTUAL understanding.
Welcome to a timely series of Real Conversations from the C-Suite with my dear friend and colleague, Ms. Terri Wilson, founder and CEO of Doing HR Differently. This month’s focus is on discussing hot topics without torching relationships. If you truly value a relationship, sometimes it’s best to simply forgo discussing hot topics altogether. Think about conversations surrounding politics, diversity, or any other issue that can quickly become heated. Are these conversations worth sacrificing your bond with the person on the other side of the table? Hopefully, the answer is often no. When we prioritize the relationship, we can make a conscious decision to hold back, not because we don’t care about the issue, but because we care MORE about maintaining mutual respect.
If you’ve been part of our community for a while, you know that around this time of year, in alignment with Halloween, I usually host a panel of C-suite leaders from a variety of industries to talk about what’s “scary” when it comes to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. But this year, what scares me most aren’t the typical DEI challenges —it’s the inflammatory conversations happening around the upcoming elections. The heightened tensions and division can make it feel like any conversation could ignite a raging argument, risking relationships we care about. That’s why this month’s series of Real Conversations from the C-suite is so important. Discussing hot topics without torching relationships is such a valuable skill set, especially right now. If you’ve ever heard the phrase, “Disagreeing without being disagreeable,” then you’ll appreciate that my goal with this series is to offer practical tools and insights to help navigate challenging conversations with grace, so we can all keep our relationships intact —even when the conversations get heated.

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.

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/
