Inclusion Begins with Me: Conversations That Matter
Tara Jaye Frank on Why Waymaking is an Equity Imperative
Show Notes

What is waymaking and can anyone be a waymaker? Is there a difference between waymaking and sponsorship? What makes employees feel respected and appreciated?

Tara Jaye Frank’s book, The Waymakers: Clearing the Path to Workplace Equity with Competence and Confidence serves as a guide for tackling these tough questions. Tara started her 20-year career at Hallmark and today, she runs a successful culture and leadership consulting firm. In this episode, I spoke with Tara about:

  • how waymaking can bypass traditional power structures
  • integrating mission statements into everyday workplace culture
  • why actively learning and listening is key to waymaking
