Inclusion Begins with Me: Conversations That Matter

Wade Davis on Why Discomfort is a Necessary Sacrifice for Inclusion

MetLife Season 1 Episode 7

Why does inclusion need to be personal? Why is it necessary for DEI work to be uncomfortable? What is the difference between niceness and kindness — and why does language matter to DEI efforts?


Wade Davis is currently the Vice President of Inclusion Strategy for Product at Netflix. He’s a thought leader public speaker, and writer on gender, race, and

orientation equality.

  • how leaders can step out of their comfort zone to advance DEI
