So I've spent most of my life in HR as an HR business leader and, and a good part of the latter part of my career in inclusion and belonging and diversity. I did write this new book, which I hope is a guide to inclusion and belonging in the workplace.

I've had the experience and great good fortune of leading diversity initiatives in the U.S., Europe, and Asia at major multinationals such as General Electric, Disney, Hasbro, and most recently, my experience with LVMH Moet Hennessy.

Sure. It's a great question. And let me maybe start by why I wrote the book, what inspired me to write the book as a way of addressing sort of the belonging, inclusion, and connection terms of the book.

And the fostering of that culture of belonging and inclusion is not just a nice thing to do and everybody feels good at work and we go and we have parties and we're happy and we have lunch together.

And I think finally, what was a driving factor for me was I believe in my core that these things I just talked about are important to individuals and to businesses. And what I saw was we were in the world of diversity, equity and inclusion getting too far away from what I believed was the important
