24 - Turning 'No' into 'Now': Fair Chance Opportunity Is Key To Inclusion and Diversity | With Sue Mason

Take It Or Lead It is back! This is gonna be an educational and eye-opening episode for everyone, I promise. Sue Mason is an inspiring woman and a principal of a consultancy firm who helps companies and leaders grow their awareness around DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion). More specifically, she supports them in their journey to "operationalize their commitment to fair chance opportunity". Sue has a number of tough stories to share, starting from her own. Like others, MILLIONS of other people in the US with a conviction history, she has been told "no" many times, whether it's a job opportunity, or renting a house, for mistakes she made when she was young and came from adverse life circumstances, now almost two decades ago. In a pivotal moment in 2015, enough was enough, and Sue decided she would dedicate her life to changing the status quo, for leaders, regulators, and corporations.
