Carrie Rickert - a podcast by Kathryn Zox

Kathryn interviews Author Carrie Rickert.A catalyst is something or someone that provokes significant change. A trauma can be a catalyst too. The change--whether physical, emotional, spiritual, or all three--doesn't happen immediately. The change is a journey with side steps and detours along the way. The only hard and fast rule is that you can't go back to who you were before. Carrie Rickert, a seasoned business life coach and consultant shares her journey of change after such a catalyst. Her life-threatening accident and related complications started her down this path of examining what was, what is, and what could be. Most importantly, this is a story of hope, of possibility and of embracing the fight to become something new. Rickert is the founder and CEO of Nomis Advisors, a management consultancy firm.Kathryn also interviews Author Adia Harvey Wingfield PhD. Despite today’s multi-billion-dollar diversity industry, workplace inequality is still very real. While explicit discrimination no longer occurs and organizations make internal and public pledges to honor and achieve “diversity” - employees of color, particularly Black workers, remain less likely to be hired, stall out at middle levels, and rarely progress to senior leadership positions. Why? According to award-winning sociologist Adia Harvey Wingfield PhD the reason is to be found in what she calls “gray areas.” She provides actionable solutions for creating a truly equitable future, including “what you can do” checklists geared toward management, HR and colleagues. Wingfield is the Mary Tileston Hemenway Professor of Arts & Sciences and Vice Dean for Faculty Development and Diversity at Washington University in St. Louis. She writes regularly for mainstream outlets, including Slate, The Atlantic and Vox.
