In this episode of What’s the Deal?, Shanté and Natalie explore how being present, self-aware, and intentional helps leaders navigate sensitive moments with empathy and clarity. Drawing on recent experiences at a DEI conference, they talk about the overwhelming scope of topics leaders face and why you don’t have to be an expert in every aspect to lead inclusively.From everyday workplace scenarios—like navigating comments about hair or pregnancy—to broader cultural awareness, they unpack the difference between reacting and responding, and how a simple pause can prevent harm. You’ll hear practical tips on building rapport before diving into personal questions, and how to recover with sincerity when you get it wrong.If you’re a leader striving to create inclusive spaces, this conversation will help you slow down, center others, and choose actions that foster trust and belonging.
