“Jodi-Ann Burey was very good! She was knowledgeable and asked thoughtful questions, and she really seemed to be enjoying herself, too. It was obvious that Burey put time and effort into her Q & A role. Tonight’s lecture was one of the most memorable from start to finish! The time went by too quickly. It was just plain fun.”

“I wanted to be sure to send a note after tonight's evening with Michele Norris to say that I thought Jodi-Ann Burey was a truly fine interviewer and conversationalist.  She was very thoughtful, had clearly prepared thoroughly, and clearly connected well with Norris herself as well as the audience. It was a very fine evening!”

  • COMMLD 560: Communication Strategies for Inclusive Leadership (grad, 5 credits) | Communication Leadership, University of Washington — Winter 2021

    Course description: We are in the midst of a national reckoning with the presence and impact of institutionalized anti-Black racism in our lives. Politicians, business leaders and everyday people all across the country are asking what it means to stand for Black lives. To do so requires committing beyond surface level diversity and inclusion practices and digging deeper into how we make meaning with our choices for the images and narratives we use to create culture. Knowing how we engage in meaning-making as communicators is foundational to reimagining what meaning we can make to push our companies and cultures towards the vision of racial equity. In this course, we will examine case studies of meaning making across professional sectors including studies of entertainment, fashion, and politics. We will connect this to our interpersonal interactions across race in our professional lives, as well as in our work as communication leaders. By the end of the course, students will be able to more effectively articulate cultural messages and develop skills to help them create new narratives grounded in inclusion, belonging and racial equity.

She shows you ways to think more systematically about why people quit, not just any organization, but your organization specifically. As Jodi-Ann explains, a revolving door of talent is costly, not just in time and money, but in credibility, as it makes it difficult to maintain commitments to retain a diverse workforce.
