Today we share the career journey of Dana Beckton, Chief Diversity Officer of Sentara Healthcare and how she went from city bus driver to a Chief Diversity Officer of one of the largest healthcare networks in the country.

Whether you're just starting this journey or need a reset in DIEB, you'll want to hear her story and recommendations.

She shared with us the three legged stool in diversity, inclusion, equity and belonging and how to build authentic relationships of trust to drive change without having all the answers.

Finally, you'll hear how she created safe space conversation sessions that had over 90% engagement at leadership & executive levels and two books you will find very helpful in this journey.
