The DEI Era is Over. What Comes Next for Leadership with Chrysta Wilson

For years, DEI was treated as the solution for workplace equity—but now, companies are rolling it back, budgets are shrinking, and the conversation is shifting. So if DEI wasn’t the revolution, what should leaders be building now?

In this episode of The Hire Breakthrough Podcast, I sit down with Chrysta Wilson, a powerhouse in equity-driven leadership, to break down:
✔️ Why DEI was never enough—and what comes next.
✔️ How to lead equitably even when the system is working against you.
✔️ The biggest mistakes leaders make when they think they’re being “inclusive.”
✔️ What founders, CEOs, and HR leaders need to do right now to create sustainable workplace equity.

This is not another check-the-box DEI conversation. It’s about what’s next—and how leaders can take action now.
