Key Takeaways from This Episode:

  1. Anecdotes can mislead, but patterns create evidence.
    • "Same information. Different lived experiences. Different conclusions—because lived experience is subjective."
  2. A successful DEI strategy is built on structure, not emotion.
    • "An inclusion program that failed—because it wasn’t built on evidence."
  3. Stories become useful when placed within a rigorous framework.
    • "We don’t dismiss lived experience—but we combine it with evidence from three other sources."
