Flexability is a workplace equity & inclusion firm and our mission is equity at work. Unlike other DEI firms or strategies that adopt a “silo” approach to identities, Flexability recognizes that such a narrow lens does not reflect the realities of lived experiences. Instead, we view and work with people as kaleidoscopes of complex and beautiful identity combinations. Flexability partners with like-minded companies, communities, & job seekers to build equitable, dynamic, & productive working environments. We are woman, disability, & LGBTQIA+ led. Collectively, our team has over 35 years of global experience in academia, law, government, and both non and for-profit business sectors. We believe championing people is good for business and leading with stakeholder primacy provides greater returns in both people and profit.

I lived with a damaged knee for more than 40 years – it was a college injury – and my brain is used to me not being able to walk long distances without a heavy knee brace. Now that my knee has been replaced, I am not sure of my limits. But with each physical step I take I’m learning my body’s new capabilities. That made me think of my diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) teaching, where I often see how years of being viewed as the odd one out for whatever reason (or reasons) – gender expression, race, social class and so on – has “wired” an individual’s brain. To protect that person from the harm that others’ lack of openness to DEI can inflict, their brain often imposes limits on their behavior. While there is work that society needs to do to create spaces that feel safe for people who are too often excluded, there is also a “rewiring” that only those individuals can do. As a woman and as a member of the LGBTQI+ community, I am one of this group. My once-injured knee has taught me a physical lesson that translates into a mental one – so many of the situations in which we think we can’t do something are illusionary. https://lnkd.in/dZhEN6jA #DEI #LimitingBeliefs 📸 by Pixabay
🌟 Happy Awkward Moments Day! 🌟 Today, we embrace the awkwardness, the stumbles, and the ‘foot-in-mouth’ moments we’ve all experienced. But here’s a twist: what if we saw these moments not just as blunders, but as opportunities for growth, especially in the realm of equity and inclusion? Awkward moments can often arise from our differences - be it cultural misunderstandings, unfamiliarity with someone’s background, or even mispronouncing a colleague's name. Yes, these moments might make us wince, but they also open the door for important conversations and learning opportunities. Instead of shying away from these situations, let’s use them as a springboard to: 🔹 Ask respectful questions 🔹 Listen actively 🔹 Learn from each other’s experiences 🔹 Foster a more inclusive workplace culture By navigating awkward moments with grace and curiosity, we can build stronger, more understanding teams that value diversity not just in theory, but in everyday interactions. Let’s commit to turning our awkward moments into stepping stones to create a more inclusive world. After all, it’s through our vulnerabilities that we find our strength and unity. #AwkwardMomentsDay #DEI #Inclusion #GrowthMindset #Leadership
