A Return to Episode 49: DEI, Trauma, Corporate Responsibility, and Spirituality in the Workplace

by Anita Charlot

Listen to A Return to Episode 49: DEI, Trauma, Corporate Responsibility, and Spirituality in the Workplace:

Hey there, beautiful.

I’ve been relatively quiet this week or the past couple of weeks trying to determine what was safe to post on social media, including LinkedIn as I’m feeling all the feels of current events that have been re-traumatizing in many ways, so I’ve waited all week to create this post.

While so many positive things are happening in my world, my heart and soul still feel the energy of how so many others are suffering.

As an executive coach for women and a leader in my space, I can tell you that my clients are feeling it too. I feel many things are happening in the DEI space that as a Black and Indigenous person of color, I think is irresponsible, even though they are being created and launched with great intention. The awareness of this and how to address it has become a huge part of my educational and spiritual journey to get my doctorate in metaphysical psychology.

There has to be a better way, and I’m taking it upon myself to find it.

What You Learn:

My plan to begin sharing more in the months to come for those who have been re-traumatized by the lack of awareness of your employers
That it is important to hold space to grieve
My thoughts on what leadership and corporations can do to begin creating and rolling out their DEI programs with the whole person in mind
There has to be a better way, and I’m taking it upon myself to find it

Hey there, beautiful.

I’ve been relatively quiet this week or the past couple of weeks trying to determine what was safe to post on social media, including LinkedIn as I’m feeling all the feels of current events that have been re-traumatizing in many ways, so I’ve waited all week to create this post.

While so many positive things are happening in my world, my heart and soul still feel the energy of how so many others are suffering.

As an executive coach for women and a leader in my space, I can tell you that my clients are feeling it too. I feel many things are happening in the DEI space that as a Black and indigenous person of color, I think is irresponsible, even though they are being created and launched with great intention. The awareness of this and how to address it has become a huge part of my educational and spiritual journey to get my doctorate in metaphysical psychology.

There has to be a better way, and I’m taking it upon myself to find it.

As I give myself time to feel, grief, and heal from all that is coming up for me and hold space for my clients, I’m also preparing to share my thoughts on the responsibility that companies have in the relationships with their employees, and I’m using air quotes here. I will talk more about the danger and risk it could represent not only for the employees but also the corporate risks if not researched and executed with the employee’s mental health and spirit in mind.

Being a metaphysician in the corporate space is quite challenging, and I have experienced firsthand throughout my entire career, the things that need to be changed that could genuinely make a difference.

So I plan to begin sharing more in the months to come for my fellow BIPOCs who have been re-traumatized by the lack of awareness of your employers as to what needs to be considered and addressed.

I will also share my thoughts on what leadership and corporations can do to begin creating and rolling out their DEI programs with the whole person in mind.

To all affected by the recent events, hang in there and take care of yourselves. Find something that brings you joy and peace and do that.

Nurture your own heart and spirit through these trying times just as I am, and if you’d like to share your experience, feel free to send me a message on the contact page on my website, and I will be sure to respond to you directly.

Who says spirituality has no place in corporate America? It certainly does. And the sooner organizations realize that there is a whole person who shows up body, mind, and spirit to the workplace, things would get a lot better, a lot faster.

If you’re being encouraged to bring your entire self to work, work should be a safe place to do so. So look for more conversations from me and my guests in the coming months.

And as always, thank you for listening. See you in the next episode!
