About Us
The hospitality industry is diverse, but women and other under-represented groups continue to face a broken rung at the upper levels of management. DEI Advisors is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering personal success by sharing insights and learnings from industry leaders. While many companies are doing wonderful work in the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion, individuals must also be responsible for their own personal growth and career aspirations.
Through interviews with industry leaders, we hope to share learnings to help you:
-
Overcome the "Imposter syndrome" and "head trash"
-
Become more effective in networking
-
Triumph over structural barriers and other challenges
-
Acquire sponsors, advocates, and mentors
-
Find strength and resilience in the face of adversity
-
Bring harmony to work life demands
