On the other hand, people and organizations made real mistakes after the MeToo and George Floyd movements. DEI became performative. They used approaches based in emotion rather than data. They tried to solve systemic problems with individual solutions. They failed. And today, the world is changing. It affects my team.

There's a woman on my team who zooms in from Florida with a breeze in her hair and a smile on her face until two weeks ago, when she was evacuated. We have a contractor who has the most adorable little pug ever, who likes to snore on Zoom, and he really loves to share his hacks for working around the power cuts that he's experiencing because of the war in Ukraine.

43 percent of Americans report being more anxious this year than last year. And over the same time period, we've seen an increase in workplace conflict, absenteeism and disengagement. the outside is creeping in, and the models we have no longer work.

We don't do privileged walks at my job, but we did do an anti-Semitism training on October 7th, because we couldn't work through that day like it was any other. The night before, I got news that my nephew was being deployed.

We didn't all agree in that training, but what we did do was try to tackle misinformation, unpack our assumptions and talk about how we treat each other with compassion and respect. That's what DEI could be. The next day, we did a training on anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia. We have tools for elder care and climate emergencies. We have training for how to talk about politics at work.

And it's not just for us. Our clients are asking for these things as well. And while I may feel conflicted about giving interviews, I'm not conflicted about what's next. There's something really exciting about doing something new. And new is what we need if we're going to tackle these problems that face us. You know, I don't think we should be naive either. Discrimination still exists.

The culture wars are happening in the office today, and all of the problems I've just described, climate change, political instability, care responsibilities, affect people differently depending on the identities that they hold. You know, the one thing I do love about privilege walks, I will say, is they always come with a surprise.

Like Chad from accounting will tell you he used to boost cars for fun, and then he turned his life around. And you're reminded you never know what people are carrying. So I wonder, what would it look like if we did a privilege walk updated for today? Step back if you're struggling with chronic illness. Step back if you're juggling eldercare and childcare.
