Dr. Dawn D. Bennett-Alexander: Small moments that change culture

Dr. Dawn D. Bennett-Alexander has spent decades translating justice into everyday practice, from creating the first employment law course in colleges of business to helping shape global DEIB standards adopted across more than 160 countries. In this episode, she reveals that inclusive behavior is built through small, deliberate moments: how you greet a server, how you teach a student to see their own bias, and how you leave a room better than you found it. When leaders model actions that empower contribution, honor intersectional lived experiences, remove systemic barriers, and design adjustments so everyone can succeed, the result is a culture where people prosper, thrive, and bring their bold, authentic selves forward.
