We are back with a special episode. This is not only the last episode for 2018, it is the first Episode in a series on workplace Diversity, Inclusion & Equity. I have gathered a group of special guests who have unique and special expertise and perspectives related to the world of workplace diversity & inclusion. We come out of the gate very fast on the first episode with Annemarie Shrouder. Annemarie Shrouder is an international speaker, corporate trainer, and consultant on issues of Diversity and Inclusion. She is committed to fairness and belonging. These commitments mean that she believes in playing fair in the sandbox, and that everyone should have a place at the table – not just a seat, a place, which implies that we are valuable and valued. She is passionate about challenging people to see more, and assisting in the creation of organizational cultures where people can learn, be all of who they are, connect and thrive. Annemarie works with diversity broadly, and specializes in LGBTQ positive spaces and racial equity.
