Welcome back to the Project Elevate Podcast with Tammy Benay Perry! On today’s episode, we are joined by Melissa Marcelissen. Melissa is an EDI Strategist who specializes in Inclusive Leadership Development and is a certified Fascinate Advisor. Melissa uses the Fascinate method to help Executives and their leadership teams to truly value the Diversity in their team and have them unlock the power of their organization’s diversity.

In this conversation, Tammy and Melissa discuss how to keep the DEI conversation moving forward and what the future of DEI work looks like. We also touched on how people can take a step back to make room for people of difference and how our own unconscious/internalized bias can get in our way. 

Melissa believes “inclusive leadership saved my life”.
