Jennifer Brown Minisode

Why Diversity and Inclusion In the Workplace Is the Key to Profitability

Look around at the faces next to you today at work.

How diverse is your workplace?

As entrepreneurs we all tend to attract people like us, and that’s a problem in a multicultural society where everyone deserves a fair chance.

It’s also a lost opportunity for faster business growth.

Jennifer Brown is an award-winning LGTBQ entrepreneur and diversity and inclusion consultant to startups and Fortune 500s alike. She says inclusive cultures boost the bottom line and the valuation of companies.

Also the bestselling author of Inclusion: Diversity, The New Workplace and The Will to Change, Jennifer shares on our Mentoring Minisode: 

  • What makes diversity an opportunity for faster business growth
  • Why many Fortune 500s are embracing this fact earlier than startups
  • Why every leader and CEO needs mentors they can trust
  • How to hire the right people from the get-go
  • Making sure you have proper oversight of your leadership
  • Why you need to watch your numbers and KPIs

And more!
