What if DEI isn’t about politics or lowering the bar but about fairness, self-reflection, and raising our standards? In this powerful episode of Beyond Confidence, Divya Parekh sits down with Dr. Dionne Wright Poulton to rethink what DEI truly means—beyond corporate checklists. At its core, it’s about giving everyone a fair chance, treating people with decency, and challenging our beliefs to create stronger, more inclusive workplaces. Dr. Poulton shares why critical self-reflection is the key to progress and how equity isn’t about meeting quotas—it’s about demanding higher standards for everyone. If you’re ready for a bold, thought-provoking conversation that’s less about buzzwords and more about real impact, this episode is for you.
