S02E09 - Equity Centred Leadership

Have you ever wondered how to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in your organization but aren’t sure how to start without causing and or perpetuating harm? Many organizations are struggling with exactly this.

My co-host Paul Nazareth and I, Kimberley MacKenzie are thrilled to welcome Chanel Grenaway into conversation. Paul and I loved Chanel’s recently published article in Charity eNews called How to Keep a Growth Mindset at a Time of Failure and we just had to invite her into the hub to chat about her work.

Chanel Grenaway has over 20 years of experience in the non-profit sector focused on integrating equity and intersectionality practice into workplace cultures. She has worked with Foundations, multi-service non-profit agencies and academic institutions.  She currently supports organizations to improve their equity and inclusion outcomes through equity assessments, training and knowledge building, community engagement, and action planning.  She also coaches leaders, board members and staff teams on how they can normalize conversations about racism and integrate equity-based approaches in their programs, policies and services.

In this episode we start learning more about Chanel’s work and digging into what it means to be an equitable leader in this moment. How can we lead learning organizations, how to continue to build a culture of trust in times of failure? And how can we be intentional about taking pauses to reflect, process and learn in such a busy and important time.

As a sector we have so much work to do. I hope this podcast has helps you know that while the work is important, it can also be complicated and sometimes messy. Let’s call people in and welcome everyone into the brave and bold conversations.
