Power of Inclusion: Breaking the Status Quo with former Netflix VP of Inclusion Strategy Vernā Myers
This episode of “B The Way Forward,” explores how to take action and overcome bias with world renowned diversity, equity, and inclusion consultant, Vernā Myers. Vernā has spent over 25 years in DEI consulting, helping companies find value and focus on more inclusive environments. She tells Brenda about her early career journey - as a Harvard educated lawyer - and why she ultimately founded The Vernā Myers Company for building more inclusive and culturally competent work environments.
Vernā also served as Netflix’s first head of inclusion strategy where she was instrumental in leading initiatives that moved DEI to the forefront of the company. In this episode, Brenda and Vernā look back at civil rights leaders and the moments that led towards positive social change, and what lessons we can learn from them today. Plus, Vernā shares more about her podcast, Sundays With Vernā which features powerful conversations about bridging our divided society. This conversation offers insight into why we should all use reflection and compassion to play a role in making our world better.
“DEI is saying we need to create a place where people feel that they are expected, that they are reflected, and that they are respected. Like all of those things that were not happening because we created organizations to really fit around a certain, powerful status group.”

    All Co's should employ a capable workforce that can deliver what is required in that role. No matter if you are male, female, man, woman, what ever you colour, it should not matter. Co's should only employ the best fit for the job and role on offer. But then again, your Co would not exist if we didn't have people like you who bleat on all the time, trying to push your woman/ female empowerment narrative. It would be interesting to know how many people are employed by your organisation, and what are your diversity percentages.
