  • DON’T Become A Trivia Answer: Corporate DEI Is Not A Metric! | feat. Denise Hamilton
    2024/10/23
    Lisa Gardner chats with Denise Hamilton, Founder & CEO of WatchHerWork, about about overcoming workplace challenges, especially for women and people of color. Denise shares her experiences as the first Black person in many of her roles, offering advice on staying focused and maintaining integrity in tough situations. The conversation expands to diversity, with Denise describing it as "possibility"—the chance for everyone’s potential to flourish without barriers. Both Lisa and Denise emphasize that diversity drives creativity and innovation, benefiting organizations and society. They critique metrics-based DEI approaches, arguing that real inclusion goes beyond numbers. The episode closes with insights on navigating adversity and embracing diversity as a core value that strengthens both businesses and communities. Also in this episode: Diversity as Creativity and Innovation: Diversity goes beyond race or gender. Denise and Lisa emphasize that diverse perspectives foster creativity and innovation, benefiting not just organizations but society as a whole. DEI as a Strategic Advantage: Denise underscores that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) should not be seen as charity, but as a way to unlock human potential and enhance business success by removing barriers that limit talent. Structural Biases and Metrics: The interview highlights the pitfalls of relying solely on metrics to measure DEI success. Denise argues that focusing too much on numbers without addressing deeper issues can hinder real progress. Effectiveness Over Authenticity in Professional Settings: Denise points out that while being authentic is important, being effective—achieving objectives—takes precedence in certain professional situations. Impact of Faith and Self-Regulation: Denise discusses how her faith in God and the practice of self-regulation help her stay grounded and maintain focus, which are critical for success in challenging environments. DEI as an Evolving Value, Not a Static Program: Denise argues that DEI, like safety in the oil and gas industry, should evolve into a core value within organizations, not be reduced to rigid quotas or superficial metrics.
