Episode 31: Doing the Work of Inclusion, Equity, and Diversity with Guest Dr. Jen O'Ryan

Today I will be speaking with Dr. Jen O'Ryan! This is Part 2 of our 3 Part Series on "Doing the Work of Inclusion, Equity, and Diversity."

Where are we going and how did we get here?

Dr. Jen O’Ryan is an I&D strategist focused on helping people build authentically inclusive and welcoming companies. Leveraging two decades of experience in the tech industry and a PhD in Human Behavior, she understands the challenges leaders can face in developing a culture of inclusiveness for employees, clients, and consumers.

A data geek at heart, Jen brings an extensive grasp of how people interact with technology, with each other, and with change. She is also the author of “Inclusive AF: A Field Guide for ‘Accidental’ Diversity Experts”. Designed for anyone thinking about Inclusion and Diversity, IAF explains how to cultivate a more welcoming workplace.

Jen frequently speaks on podcasts, panels, and at events related to Inclusion and Diversity, organizational behavior, and influencing change. Outside of I&D work, she is a travel enthusiast and avid runner. Jen also has a strange affinity for bad 80’s music, getting lost in new cities, and scary movies.
