Episode Synopsis
In this dynamic conversation, John Kandray welcomes Lillian Evans—Director at the Train to Flu Institute at SUNY Oswego and CEO of “Just a Little Bit”—to unpack what authentic inclusion and equity really mean in modern workplaces. Lillian dives into the tension between generational expectations, the real meaning of belonging, and why diversity work must go deeper than surface-level DEI checkboxes. With a refreshingly candid and thoughtful presence Lillian shares how leaders can start building workplaces where people don’t just belong—but thrive.Connect with Lillian on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lilliandarleneevans/I hope you enjoyed this episode.
