Ep. 41: [Listen to Them] Working With People Different From You Will Soon Be the Norm. Black Talent Share What You Need to Know to Make it Work

Welcome to Inclusion and Marketing, the show that’s all about helping you win the attention, adoration, and loyalty of more consumers, especially those with differences that are often ignored by brands.

I’m your host, Sonia Thompson, a marketer and someone with a lot of differences. Let’s get to it.

There’s plenty of research that shows diverse teams outperform their non-diverse peers. Not only do they outperform them financially, but they also are more innovative.

But just because you have a diverse team doesn’t mean you’ll automatically receive the benefits of having one. You have to be intentional about creating a team culture that enables everyone on the team to thrive and be better together.

In this episode, Black talent shares their experiences working in high-performing diverse teams and offer their perspectives on the environments that existed that enabled those teams to thrive.

If you like the show, I’d love it if you’d subscribe to the channel and leave a rating interview for it. It does help the show and helps others discover it. And wouldn’t it be great if there were more people practicing inclusion and making more people feel like they belong? I think so. Also, I want to hear from you. If you have a question, comment on this episode, a previous episode, or in general, or if you would just wanna say hi, I like those kinds of messages too. Send me a voicemail at inclusivemarketing.co/voicemail. That’s inclusive marketing.co/voicemail. I’d love to feature your question and comments on the show.

Until next time. Remember, everyone deserves to have a place where they belong. Let’s use our individual and collective power to ensure more people feel like they do.

Somebody’s waiting on you.

Thanks for listening.
