First and foremost, I want to acknowledge our team member, Rebecca Del Secco, who was a top five finalist in the Employee of the Year category at the Business Excellence Forum and Awards (BizX). BizX is a global event with speakers like Seth Godin and Marcus Buckingham taking the stage.
Tons of applications are received by BizX each year, and REBECCA DESERVES A HUGE CONGRATS for being selected as one of America’s top five employees in the nation!!!

Now that the confetti has settled, let’s discuss allyship.
Allyship is an important factor in creating an inclusive workplace, and it’s a topic we’ve been training on for a decade.
Many of our colleagues like the word bystander, but we prefer the word allyship to inspire potential allies in our training audiences to intervene when they witness something negative.
Recently, I had the pleasure of speaking on this topic at the University of Arizona’s “Our Best Work Environment Speaker Series” and now I’m sharing the recording with my awesome enewsletter audience. Here is the link.
During this webinar, I covered:
- The various roles everyone plays in a negative work environment
- Four types of bias (though there are hundreds)
- Risk factors that increase our likelihood to engage in bias
- Microaggressions and how to intervene when you hear them
- Tips for ensuring your meetings are inclusive
I’ve got a ton more webinars just like this one. If you’re interested in checking them out, click this link. They’re sitting on our website waiting for you.
Have a great weekend!
