#121-Finding Effective DEI Consultants with Naté Hoover

Summary: <p>This summer, after George Floyd's murder, everyone started looking for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) consultants for their teams and organizations.  Not coincidentally, all of a sudden, there were a whole bunch of people calling themselves DEI experts.  Join me as I chat with Naté Hoover about how to assess whether a DEI consultant is actually skilled, how to know when your organization and its leadership is "ready" for it and how NOT to do equity work.  Naté is a long-time DEI consultant and HR expert who shares valuable insight.  This is a must-listen before you hire your next DEI consultant.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Here is the article that Naté referenced: https://www.mckensiemack.com/our-blog/2020/8/26/thinking-of-hiring-an-anti-racism-consultant-read-this-first</p> <p>To connect with Naté, here's her LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/l-nate-hoover-shrm-scp-sphr-pmp-ctmd-mbti/</p> <p>For more about Mckensie Mack Group: https://www.mckensiemack.com/</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/nonprofitlowdown/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/nonprofitlowdown/support</a>
