I'm Bernadette Smith (she/her), a keynote speaker and author of Inclusive 360: Proven Solutions for an Equitable Organization. I'm also one of the most positive people you'll ever meet.

What's 5 Things? I discovered that there were a lot of inspirational actions being taken to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive world, but typical news stories focus more on negativity. I decided to share what I consider to be "good vibes" in a weekly newsletter to provide a little bit of hope -- to others, and to myself! 5 Things began in 2019, caught on quickly and now thousands of leaders around the world receive 5 Things and share the stories with their organizations, families, and friends.

Each week a special guest and I discuss these 5 Things, right here, in just 15 Minutes, starting your week off with Good Vibes in DEI. We also talk about a few other things, so most episodes land at around 22 minutes.
