Have you ever felt stuck during a performance review, wondering how to react to something you disagree with? The work landscape has significantly shifted from the days when we had little say in how our performance was assessed. In today's world, employees are actively participating in the performance management process. They're no longer merely recipients of feedback but are shaping their own evaluations.   In episode #109 of the *Meaningful Work, Meaningful Life* podcast, Kristin Bell, a courageous advocate, shares her mission to create avenues of opportunity for those who have been systemically excluded, underserved, and underestimated. Kristin is a global diversity, equity, and inclusion executive, a tech entrepreneur, and a respected thought leader. I often emphasize the power of Personal Branding for Impact, and Kristin embodies this concept perfectly. She leverages her voice, position, and advantages to champion the cause and open doors for those who might not have had the chance otherwise. Key Takeaways: Our discussion touches on how many organizations are setting diversity hiring goals without addressing the internal work needed.   Kristen emphasizes the need for creating brave spaces in the workplace and what that entails.   She introduces her platforms: CultureCite, designed to help employees navigate unfair workplace experiences, and ReviewTailor, a performance management software utilizing AI to generate equitable reviews.   She believes that Employee Advocacy can be a critical element in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, fostering a positive work environment, and advocating for underrepresented groups.   Kristin shares a poignant moment where she was a conduit, providing someone with the opportunity to get a foot in the door. Join us in this enlightening conversation as we explore the double power of Employee Advocacy - advocating for oneself and becoming a brand ambassador for your company.   More info about the podcast Website: https://www.francinebeleyi.com/podcast/ Watch on Youtube https://bit.ly/3LKwUT1 Connect with Kristin Bell Kristin Bell https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinlbell/ Co-founder Laneisha Roberts https://www.linkedin.com/in/lanroberts CultureCite  www.CultureCite.com www.LinkedIn.com/company/CultureCite https://www.facebook.com/culturecite  ReviewTailor  www.ReviewTailor.com  www.LinkedIn.com/company/ReviewTailor  https://www.facebook.com/TryReviewTailor    Connect with Francine Beleyi, the host LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/francinebeleyi/ Website: https://www.francinebeleyi.com/
