You’re sabotaging yourself and don’t even know it
by Carmen Van Kerckhove
“Why? Because… because… it’s just the right thing to do!”
Is that what you blurt out every time you try and convince your colleagues about the importance of diversity?
No wonder you’re not getting anywhere!
I wish it weren’t true, but the reality is this: Proclaiming that your organization has a moral responsibility to work on diversity is simply not an effective strategy.
If you really want your organization to take diversity seriously, you must learn how to think like a CEO.
(Yes, even if your organization is a non-profit, school, or government agency.)
Good news: I’m ready to share with you exactly what you need to know on this FREE, ONE-TIME-ONLY CALL happening on Wednesday, April 8, 2009 at 5:00 pm Eastern time…
On this lively, information-packed 60-minute call, you’ll learn:
- The 3 worst self-sabotaging behaviors that get in the way of your own success (and how to avoid them)
- 5 key strategies you can use to implement real, lasting changes when it comes to diversity at your organization
- 3 quick and easy methods to start positioning yourself as your organization’s in-house diversity expert
Whether you’re the Chief Diversity Officer or simply a volunteer in your organization’s diversity employee networking group, you won’t want to miss this teleseminar.
The call is chock-full of specific information that will show you exactly why you’re not getting the results you want. Then, I’ll give you the resources to change that around so that you can win your colleagues’ respect and trust, and gain the influence you need to implement real, lasting change.
You know by now that I’m not going to waste your time by giving you fluff information.

Im not sure if this fits with your business model, but is there any chance we can hear recorded excerpts (or the whole thing!) from the teleseminar if we cannot make the April 8 meeting? I would gladly exchange my info for a recorded copy

I couldn’t agree more. That’s why I’ve been critical of the letter the NAACP wrote to the heads of ad agencies. The timing is terrible and threatening lawsuits doesn’t further the cause of diversity.

Yup. To get anyone to do anything, even those who are individually well-intentioned but have to sell higher-ups, and even higher-ups who are well-intentioned but have to sell an idea to shareholders or clients, “benefit to them” is the only way to go.
In the legal context, I definitely noticed attention to diversity ramping up when employer firms started noticing that (1) partner candidates with business, even those who weren’t women or minorities, began asking about diversity; and (2) even more critically, clients started firing them if they couldn’t demonstrate adequate diversity in both partner and associate ranks.
I am in a gig where I have to rely on good will of attorneys — and as in some cases that’s a bit of an oxymoron, it’s usually not worth taking to the bank without a demonstration of how doing what is right for me benefits them.
