About this listen

The definitive comprehensive and foundational text for critically analyzing and applying actionable DEI techniques and strategies, written by one of LinkedIn’s most popular experts on DEI.

The importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace cannot be understated. But when half-baked and underdeveloped strategies are implemented, they often do more harm than good, leading the very constituents they aim to support to dismiss DEI entirely.

DEI Deconstructed analyzes how current methods and “best practices” leave marginalized people feeling frustrated and unconvinced of their leaders’ sincerity, and offers a road map that bridges the neatness of theory with the messiness of practice. Through embracing a pragmatic DEI approach drawing from cutting-edge research on organizational change, evidence-based practices, and incisive insights from a DEI strategist with experience working from the top-down and bottom-up alike, stakeholders at every level of an organization can become effective DEI changemakers. Nothing less than this is required to scale DEI from interpersonal teeth-pulling to true systemic change.

By utilizing an outcome-oriented understanding of DEI, along with a comprehensive foundation of actionable techniques, this no-nonsense guide will lay out the path for anyone with any background to becoming a more effective DEI practitioner, ally, and leader.

Non-nonsense and practical too!

This book calls out every issue (in my experience) organizations face today with DEI efforts in a concise and clear way and lays out a practical (not simple) way forward. So good I am waiting for a hardcopy.

Thank you!

I’ve been trying to lead real, tangible organizational changes in DEI and have been in the wilderness. I wanted my organization to stop checking boxes and start making positive progress. This book finally answered the questions I have been asking and made me feel heard.

Great Problem Definition

Thank you Lily for clearly articulating the issues that make DEI an unsustainable practice. Now we need to offer a solution.
