Anyone here ever witness someone make a full career transition into being a DEI consultant, strategist, Manager or Chief Diversity Officer? If not witnessed anyone, maybe done it yourself? I want to fully transition into the DEI space but don’t know where to start… any advice on certificates or career pathways would help!

I recently transitioned fully into my role. I started as coordinator and communicated my interest as well as suggestions of changes to implement at my org. After communicating the gaps I saw, I was able to put forth initiatives as well as demonstrate their impact and it solidified my role. I am now pursuing my CDP certification.

I recently fully transitioned to a role focused totally on DEI. I did have to work for it however. I had to prove that it was needed at my organization and that it would be beneficial. I had to present to our Exec Team and CEO. Mainly they want to know how does this make the organization better. You have to fully focus on that. Predict questions that they would ask. Get to know each Exec. I am pursuing my CDP in October (Certified Diversity Professional). It is a nationally recognized credential. Very similar stories with the person who commented first. I have been unofficially doing DEI initiatives for the company for 2 years before I pushed for a new position to be created. I basically made it so I was too busy for both roles so that way they could create a position.

Thoughts on ETFs that are equal weight maps to the S&P and the Nasdaq?

I love my job and the people I work with, but there’s one thing that really bothers me: the lack of diversity. Sometimes when I walk into the office and see everyone else around me as the only POC, it feels kind of weird. I don’t think anyone here has ever said anything racist or sexist to me personally, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about these issues with anyone because they might take it personally and then things could get awkward between us.
