What does it take to build truly inclusive teams?
In this episode of The Standup, we are joined by Julie Ann Crommett, founder and CEO of Collective Moxie and former Vice President of Multicultural Audience Engagement at Walt Disney. With a career built on bringing diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives to the likes of Google, Disney, and NBCUniversal, Julie shares all her best practices for orchestrating DEI programs. She shares how asking better questions and adopting perspective changes like “culture add” instead of “culture fit” can unlock the full potential of your team.
It’s not just about hiring differently. It’s about reshaping how leaders think about talent, team dynamics, and their role in normalizing inclusion. Think “culture add” not “culture fit”. Julie Ann makes it easy to get your DEI programs off the ground by highlighting small, actionable steps leaders can take to create environments where everyone thrives.
