Thriving Points:

  • “And so you have to look. Your policies, your procedures, your practices, because sometimes you might have the policies and the procedures, but if the managers and the leaders aren't actively practicing it with their employees, the policy's not even as good as the paper that it's written on.” - Celeste Warren
  • “As a leader, you have to make sure that you understand what is happening from a cultural standpoint, from a social standpoint, from a political standpoint externally, and the impact that it's having on certain communities of employees within the workplace, and if you don't understand that, then you talk about the war for talent, you're not gonna be able to thrive.” - Celeste Warren”
  • “You have to understand where people come from no matter whatever, their walk of life. Everybody comes to the workplace from different spaces with these deeply held beliefs that they were taught from childhood.” - Nikki Rogers
  • “What is it that I need to do? What am I missing? What skills, what capabilities, and what biases do I have? Get in touch with yourself and understand you as a person.” - Celeste Warren
