Uplevel Your Communication - Why Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Initiatives are Failing all of Us

Dr. Rebekah Wanic, a social psychologist and mindset coach, discusses the failure of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. She argues that DEI promotes an artificial version of diversity, focuses on inclusion of the loudest voices rather than true inclusion, and fails to recognize individual differences and preferences. Dr. Wanic emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility, hard work, and resilience in achieving success and fulfillment. She critiques the celebration of victimhood and entitlement and highlights the need for honesty and self-improvement in relationships. Dr. Wanic also introduces her novella, 'Nobility,' which explores the themes of self-discovery and the importance of being a better version of oneself.

• Equity as a mechanism for achieving equal outcomes is flawed, as people have different strengths, weaknesses, and interests. 
• Personal responsibility, hard work, and resilience are essential for achieving success and fulfillment. 
• The celebration of victimhood and entitlement is disempowering and hinders personal growth. 
• Honesty and self-improvement are crucial in building meaningful relationships.
