Challenging our own mental models is a way of life. This is why Dr. Hedy Lemar Walls is committed to helping organizations engage deeper cultural understanding of themselves and others.

Dr. Hedy Lemar Walls is the chief social responsibility officer for the YMCA of the North. She also leads the United Health Group Equity Innovation Center, using Intellectual Inventory Development (IDI) to guide groups in applying inclusivity and systemic change within their communities. Tune in to discover as Dr. Hedy Lemar Walls shares what her institutions do to promote inclusivity, the basics and goals of IDI, her IDI success stories, the byproduct, and the downside of using IDI for assessment. ▶️ Breaking Down the Good, Bad, and Ugly of Diversity Assessments Key Points: 02:32 Dr. Hedy’s education and career 10:06 Dr. Hedy's IDI-centered services 13:19 How IDI is used in assessments 15:41 The objectives of IDI 18:52 IDI success stories 22:15 The pros and cons of IDI 26:13 Dr. Hedy’s advice for organizations Subscribe to the channel: Skill Masters Market Watch The Secret to Making Leadership Assessments Work Visit my website to see how we can work together. https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/consulting-home

As nonprofit learning and development leaders, we want a seat at the table. We want to be viewed as true business partners who can help solve problems. We want to create meaningful learning solutions that fit in the flow of work and yield real results for the organization. That's why in this podcast, we will not only explore instructional design and leadership development best practices, but we will also explore change management, belonging, and influence - helping you build the case for the solutions your organization needs so you can show up confidently in conversations with other senior leaders, subject matter experts, and partners. If we haven't met yet, I'm Heather, and I’ve been in your shoes. I'm a learning and development consultant and the founder and principal consultant at Skill Masters Market. Before starting Skill Masters Market, I worked for a large national nonprofit where I led learning and leadership development initiatives. I know what it’s like to need to develop your staff quickly and effectively and to build the relationships and cut through the organizational layers to be successful. With an eye for both the larger strategy and the creative design process, I've created hundreds of learning experiences - in-person, self-paced, and virtual classroom - and have worked with dozens of leaders to help them achieve their organization’s professional development goals. So if you're ready to bust through the barriers and start creating behavior change in your nonprofit, this podcast is for you. Let's dive in. It's Learning for Good.
