What does it take to create (real) social change and a deeper sense of ’belonging’ in your work? We look to the change makers and the trailblazers out in the world (just like you and me!) to show us how it’s done.

My special guest today is Jess Weiner and she is simplifying how to create social change & ‘belonging’ in your work. She’s been working with brands (big and small) over the last 20 years to better represent people in their media, marketing, and advertising.

Jess Weiner simplifies how to create social change & ‘belonging’ in your work.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How to ensure that everyone not only has a seat at the table, but also have a voice that is being heard
• A few simple questions you could ask your clients that would begin to create social change through their work, as inspired by Jess’ work with Mattel’s Barbie and Dove
• Why it’s important to “leverage your privilege to amplify other’s voices” 
• How to make this an ongoing, impactful shift, rather than a flashy, “one-and-done” mentality that our clients tend to opt for
• How to cultivate ‘belonging’ in your own team, starting with yourself as the business owner
• Why the current “hustle & grind” culture that is being preached to entrepreneurs these days is a trap and how to avoid the “compare & despair” rat race
