We can’t really have a conversation about DEI without acknowledging that so many DEI efforts, so many DEI programs, so many DEI initiatives - they fail. But why? Why do so many DEI programs fail despite our leaders’ best intentions? Our guest today has some great insight. He says, “any effort to mitigate bias and grow inclusivity within an organization has to begin with its people. At the end of the day, organizations don’t change. People change.” Dr. Randal Pickett is an entrepreneur, innovator, and DEI expert. He’s the co-founder, chairman, and CEO of BCT Partners, a global research, training, and data analytics firm whose mission is to provide insights about diverse people that will lead to equity. Dr. Pinkett was also the first - and only - African American to win the top honor on the hit reality TV show “The Apprentice.”

57 Nick Jonsson - Executive Loneliness: A Mental Health Conversation
The adage says “It’s lonely at the top.” And in today’s fast-paced world, a conversation around mental health and wellness seems more crucial than ever before - especially in the workplace. But when we peel back the layers of corporate suits and titles, we uncover a less talked about issue, which is executive loneliness. We talk a lot about climbing the corporate ladder, but not as much about the silent struggle many face at the top, where there’s pressure to perform, and that pressure meets the stark reality of isolation. Our guest today, Nick Jonsson, is here to speak to those realities. He’s the author of the best-selling book “Executive Loneliness” and an advocate for mental health and wellness in the C-suite and beyond.
