How to have " crucial/courageous conversations in the work place"

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the corporate world has long been thought of as just another group of buzzwords, with nearly 51% of white c-suite executives believing that it distracts from a company’s “real” work. This prevailing apathy has led some organizations to do little more than give lip service to the idea, along with checkboxes for tokenistic “diverse” hires.

And it starts with courageous conversations.
