Join us as we explore how Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) are more than just ethical imperatives—they're strategic advantages. In this episode of Shifting Views with Willis, I sit down with Giselle Marcus, Vice Dean of EDI at Washington University in St. Louis. Giselle is not only an academic leader but also a seasoned executive with experience managing multimillion-dollar business units at major corporations like AT&T and Accenture.
What you’ll learn:
How to frame EDI to engage skeptical business leaders.
Common misconceptions about workplace inclusion.
Why some leaders misinterpret EDI as a "box-ticking exercise."
Real stories showcasing the impact of EDI on a company’s bottom line.
Practical actions that leaders can take today to foster genuine inclusion.
About Giselle Marcus: Giselle has a rich career in turning around underperforming business units and teaching DEI in the Olin Business School’s MBA program. Her work extends to speaking engagements and corporate governance, where she highlights how inclusive practices benefit both the workforce and financial outcomes.
