Today's episode is an inspirational lesson in how to be a positive force for change in your workplace – and in our world as a whole. Carliss Miller, our guest today, is an organizational transformation architect, changemaker, and dedicated Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) leader on a mission to drive positive change in organizations powered by employee engagement. She wants to bring people along with a shared vision of hope. This work is not without its challenges, though! In our conversation, Carliss shares the barriers and doubt she's experienced – and how she has found continued motivation and courage to advocate for change.

We also dive into:

• What to do when you doubt yourself or your voice
• How to take care of yourself when things are hard
• Leading change when things are complex and nuanced
• What's challenging in DEI right now and what's giving Carliss hope
• Giving yourself permission to reschedule important conversations when you know you don't have the energy needed for them
