Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion experts Felicia Jadczak, Fatima Dainkeh, and Erika Powell talk about the myriad of ways companies can meaningfully measure the impact of DEI programs, how to move on from initial benchmarking data, destigmatizing DEI data, what metrics are important to track, and how to measure some of the "squishier" parts of inclusion.

Episode 103- The Wonderful World of DEI Metrics with Erika Powell

Boy are you in for a treat! We spoke with the incredibly wise Lauren McGoodwin, aka the Career Contessa, to talk all things job search! We got super practical. We got fantastic answers to these questions and more!  I feel overwhelmed by the different options of going back to school to get my masters in CS, getting a certificate, going to a bootcamp, or just trying to transition internally onto a software engineering team at work. Of course time and money are things I am heavily considering, and the opportunity cost of having to cut down time at my current job to pursue a program. Do you have any advice on what is the best path? How do I search for a new job while furloughed and pregnant? Is applying to jobs online worth it when people are saying that most new hires are based on referrals? Especially for people just starting out? How do you explain getting fired when applying for jobs? I realized through COVID that despite being in my current field for 10 years, I want to change careers. I know I’m going to have to start a few rungs down the ladder than I currently am, but how do I get a hiring manager to look at my application for those more junior positions without looking overqualified and out of left field. Is “loyalty” a thing anymore? If someone has a few jobs in a row of 12-18 months, does that start to raise red flags about loyalty or jumping ship? How long do I need to stay? How do you go about asking for the salary range of a position if it’s not stated in the listing? Is that seen as too bold to ask directly during an initial interview? Marijuana is legal in my state, but it seems like there’s still a lot of confusion around this. How could someone address this for a new job with a drug screen if I’m using it legally, either recreationally or medicinally?  What’s the best way to address career gaps? I took some time off when having children, but when I start to apply to go back, I’ll have a 6 year gap in my resume. How do I make sure I’m considered as a candidate with no recent experience?    Learn more about Lauren, get all of your career needs met, and buy her new book, Power Moves!   Did you like this episode?

Please note that this was recorded last Thursday, before the weekend's protests and violence occurred (which we will have more feels on in an upcoming episode).

Inclusion in the Workplace with Bärí A. Williams

She+ Geeks Out (hosted by Rachel Murray and Felicia Jadczak) brings you the voices of womxn from all walks of life to share with you what they geek out about-- their passions, talents, struggles, and successes. This doesn't mean that they're going to be tech talks (although they might be!). Each episode will feature the hosts and their guests talking about topics including health, psychology, art, music, learning, and more-- the list goes on. Episodes are fun, engaging, and provide some nuggets of information that you can take away. Oh, and yeah, they might be awkward sometimes. That's just how we roll.

I love everything about this podcast. Keep the good work up!!

My favorite podcast

This is a great podcast! Thank you so much! :)

 Creating Community with Erica Kuhl

Karina Popovich

Karina Popovich is a first year student at Cornell, but that barely defines her, as she’s also a serial entrepreneur (read, problem solver). She is a self-defined maker who is currently bringing together a community of other makers to create 3D printed face shields for health care workers on the front lines of the coronavirus crisis. An avid lover of STEM, she has built a company called Wear Alpha, a 3D printed clothing company, and a nonprofit called Connect with Tech, which introduces STEM to underrepresented communities. And she’s 19. We don’t know how she does it either, but we asked, and we learned. Listen in and we hope you’re as inspired as we were!

Bustling with Abbey Adkison

We have been fangirling over the very smart, very kind, and very funny Aubrey Blanche, Global Head of Diversity &amp; Belonging at Atlassian. As always, we start with exploring how she got to have this fancy cool title, and then dig into what it all means. Atlassian released their second report on the State of Diversity and Inclusion in US Tech and talked about what people are sharing... a sense of fatigue when it comes to tackling issues around diversity and inclusion. This is part one of two... In the second episode, coming out in a few weeks, Aubrey explores why we're moving beyond inclusion and talking about belonging. Stay tuned!

Celebrity Wrangling with Alexandra Eitel 

Kelley Calkins

Holy honesty, ladies and gentlemen! We had an incredible time learning from the totally bad ass Kelley Calkins, co-founder of The Establishment, a multimedia company that elevates the voices that are missing within the real media establishment. They cover society, science, politics, relationships, arts, and everything in between and are 100% female run. Boom! We had lots of feelings about the tech scene in Silicon Valley, and why there's such a gender disparity. Spoiler alert - it's not because women are biologically inferior. Sigh. Expect much laughter and sadness, as we lady entrepreneurs commiserate on the realities of being a women-run business.

Lucinda Longcroft

Guess what, this Thursday is World Intellectual Property Day! That's a thing we might not have known about, but we promise it's important! And to celebrate, we spoke with the Head of WIPO's (World Intellectual Property Organization) NYC office, the super impressive and super passionate Lucinda Longcroft! This year's theme celebrates the brilliant women creating change in our world and shaping our common future. Lucinda shares her thoughts on IP and the process for getting patents, and why it's so important for people to do it... not too surprisingly the numbers for women applying for receiving patents are incredibly low and WIPO is working to address this, along with many partners in the industry. Listen on if you want to geek out about patents! For more She Geeks Out, make sure to visit www.shegeeksout.com!
