Description

There is a talent crisis in the US right now. We have workforces that don’t reflect our populations and are disproportionately impacted based on their race or ethnicity. We have people leaving the workforce at staggering levels, and we have companies looking to close the skills gap and advance equitable hiring. It seems there is a disconnect between people eager to work, people leaving the workforce, and companies unable to fill roles. We will share what leaders can do to bring the right people to the right positions—to improve hiring practices, build inclusive and diverse workforces, and discover new talent pools.   Join Jimmy, Emmanuel and experts:   Steve Preston, President & CEO Goodwill, an American nonprofit that delivers job-training programs to people who face barriers to employment  Brenda Darden Wilkerson, President & CEO, AnitaB.org for Women and Technology, global nonprofit whose primary aim is to recruit, retain, and advance women in technology.

Jimmy Etheredge (CEO – North America, Accenture) and Emmanuel Acho (FS1 Sports Analyst, former NFL Linebacker, and NYT Bestselling Author & Host, "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man"), co-host Change Conversations. This podcast is about navigating business and life during a time of great technological and cultural upheaval, while creating a more equitable workplace – and a better world. Now, more than ever, business and community leaders are well-positioned to drive important and lasting change, creating a movement, not just a moment. Etheredge is committed to accelerating equality for all and showing businesses and people how to use their platforms and privilege to drive profound and purposeful change. He’s inspired by how Emmanuel is helping our country confront racism through his popular YouTube show and book, Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man. In Change Conversations, Jimmy and Emmanuel have unfiltered conversations with inspiring guests who are purpose-driven leaders, challenging us to step up, think differently, and make the kind of change that really matters – change to shape a more equitable future.
