Purpose #102: Barry Johnson-Smith - The Modern Approach To Inclusivity
In today's episode, I had a great conversation with Barry Johnson-Smith, the founder of BJS Consulting, a DEI-focused consultancy dedicated to helping businesses and organizations achieve their diversity, equity, and inclusion goals. He launched BJS Consulting after recognizing that many organizations genuinely want to cultivate diverse, equitable, and inclusive environments, but often struggle with effective implementation. Additionally, organizations are sometimes hesitant to fully invest in DEI efforts due to fears of making mistakes.
Barry's mission is to guide organizations in identifying and overcoming the obstacles that hinder their DEI progress, helping them gain confidence in knowing how to address these challenges. By the end of his engagements, Barry aims to shift organizations' approach to DEI work from one rooted in fear and guilt to one driven by joy and hope. BJS Consulting offers a variety of services, including DEI trainings, strategy assessments, and content creation, such as blogs and articles.
