FAQ Friday:

Measuring DEI Success: What Thriving Organizations Track

Organizations increasingly want to move beyond compliance-based DEI metrics toward indicators that reflect genuine culture transformation.

The most successful teams we work with focus on growth indicators:
- Employee advancement and retention across all demographics
- Psychological safety scores and engagement levels
- Leadership pipeline diversity reflecting organizational talent
- Decision-making inclusivity and voice amplification
- Community and stakeholder relationship strength
- Talent pipeline and training opportunities

At KAMacLean Consulting, we help organizations track what actually matters - not just what looks good in reports.

When teams build on what's already working, change happens faster and feels less overwhelming.

What's one positive shift you'd love to see more of in your workplace?

A little Throwback Thursday to this article I wrote in 2021 about encouraging risk/innovation and how often I see leaders then punish the perceived “failures” that are necessary in that process.

As I go back and reread, consider updating this article with what I’ve learned since:

Monday Mindset Challenge:

When your plan, your project, or even your team hits a snag, your response determines everything.

"This always happens" = you stay stuck
"What can we learn?" = you move forward

Small question change. Big leadership impact.

Which will you choose?

Thanks to the encouragement and support of some of the fantastic authors I met during my work with Sisters in Crime, I am now offering Authenticity Reading as an offshoot of my DEIJB work.

Sometimes called sensitivity reading, I'm here to flag potential issues and offer cultural context, so that you are writing with intention and awareness and can make informed choices about your storytelling. We don't always know what we don't know and there's no shame in that.

I'm already booking folks and due to the personalized nature of this process have a limited number of spots available. I hope one of them is for YOU!!

Emotional intelligence, cultural competency, psychological safety - these aren't 'nice to haves.' They're business imperatives. Companies with strong inclusive cultures see 2.3x more employee engagement. What 'soft skills' is your organization overlooking?

If these signs sound familiar, you're not alone - and more importantly, it's fixable. Culture transformation isn't just about feel-good initiatives. It's about creating sustainable systems that encourage and impact behaviors, so that your best people choose to stay, grow, and do their most innovative work.
Don't let your best people become someone else's success story.

While there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to how we talk about disabilities, I think it is important to know what some of the preferences and options are. So, let's take a look at a few easy shifts we can consider when writing, talking, and even thinking about people with disabilities.

I know there's a joke somewhere in "I'm not just a member, I'm also the president"... in that I am living with disabilities and also work to make spaces and places more inclusive for folks with disabilities and other historically minoritized identities. I love the work I do!

Part 2 of my little Disability Pride Month carousels includes some things we all can (and should) be doing to make our online engagements more accessible to all.

We also can team up to keep putting pressure on platforms to prioritize features that make access easy to incorporate. (I can spend hours adding alt text only to find when I upload from where I created something to a social media platform it disappears.)

Yes, I am a solopreneur living with disabilities AND using my lived experience and decades of experience to help others create more inclusive spaces that prioritize healthy, thriving cultures of belonging.

Y'all I love love love talking about the benefits of a growth mindset especially when compared to the limitations of a fixed mindset.

Growth mindset is the foundation of all of the work I do.
- Wondering how growth mindset & DEI work together?
- Curious what practicing growth mindset can do for your teams?
- Want to utilize growth mindset to improve your leadership?
- Ready for me to growth mindset the hell outta your next public speaking gig?
I’ve gotchu.

All of my programs are customized and based on decades of skills, tools, and experience. I combine neuroscience, improv practices, and tried and true methodologies to build out a program that gets you the most bang for your buck.

I have been living with invisible disabilities for years, as those disabilities have intensified, it becomes more challenging to find work environments where I am set up for success and can thrive. That is why I switched gears and became a consultant. Not only am I living with disabilities, I help individuals and companies assess and address the ways they can create more inclusive environments. Using a multipronged approach, we can slowly shift the culture towards belonging for all.

If the spoon metaphor doesn't work for you, maybe my garden one will.

After 5 years of Long COVID and decades of working as a consultant to improve culture and belonging, I've learned that energy management isn't just personal - it's workplace culture.
