"It takes leaders across the business to take responsibility for the language we use and how we communicate in an authentic way when trying to connect to our teams.
We don't always know what to say, and we don't want to say the wrong thing. But we need to say something. We must engage in an ongoing dialogue. Janet and Kim talk about how language leads to behavior in this book and it's advice that all leaders need to hear and act on.
The Conscious Communicator helps executives and leaders better integrate DEI into their communication by providing a solid framework to follow no matter which department or industry you're in. Thank you Janet and Kim for including DEI skills for leaders in this much-needed book!"

When the subject matter is prickly, the task is even more daunting. Business leaders need more than positive intent, we need DEPTH. This book provides relevant and practical communications guidance with a business value proposition. It is a must-read for leaders who understand the power of their platform and want to use it for good.”

"I've been coaching and consulting executives for over 20 years through my businesses. I’ve seen the power diversity brings to a business because it opens up the business to new ideas and paths through varied experiences and insights. I’ve also witnessed businesses fail because they became trapped in group thought borne out through homogeneity. The “same” doesn’t work anymore in a diversified world.
Leaders must rise up to meet the challenge and opportunity offered through diversity. This book guides you to strengthen your results through diversity and inclusion, as well as social justice issues. Every enlightened organization will answer the wake-up call to advance inclusive diversity not just because it’s the right thing to do but because it accelerates our business success."
