Episode Sponsored By: The Why and The Buy podcast
#MeToo. #TimesUp. Whatever you think about the hashtags, the world (and the way it does business) is having a moment on diversity. Everyone is asking tough questions about how we interact and hire in the workplace and the answers are often complex.
Our guest expert this week is Jessica Pettitt, author of Good Enough Now and diversity speaker for over a decade is here to open our minds, challenge our expectations and even debate a little.
Diversity is one of those words that is said often but never really put properly into context. Jessica helps color in the font and fill in the gaps in one of the most enlightening conversations we’ve had on Sell Or Die.
This episode is brought to you by, The Why and The Buy, hosted by Jeff Bajorek and Christie Walters. They interview entrepreneurs and sales experts to find out the why behind their success. Listen on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
