–Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling authorof Think Again and host of the podcast WorkLife

A step-by-step guide for managers, teams, and DEI leaders looking to create impactful, lasting change in their organization, from recruitment to retention, and beyond.

Are you tired of hollow promises about diversity, equity, and inclusion in your organization? Do you want to take steps towards real change – beyond issuing mission statements, signing checks, and holding listening sessions – but don’t know where to start? This book is your answer. Designed for teams to read together, Actions Speak Louder offers a comprehensive blueprint for leaders and teams who are ready to get out of their own way, look at their surroundings with new eyes, and turn their energy into a concrete plan.

Renowned DEI consultant Deanna Singh has led diversity trainings for a wide range of organizations, from non-profits to Fortune 500 companies. Using narratives, case studies, and the latest DEI research, as well as interactive exercises, Singh will teach you how to:

• Write inclusive job advertisementsbecause “minorities just don’t apply here” isn’t an excuse – you’re justnot reaching them

• Design an interview process thatreduces status quo bias and challenges hiring decisions that are simply“no brainers”

• Create a retention plan thatconsiders and prioritizes the needs of underrepresented employees – if youhaven’t intentionally designed one to be inclusive, you’ve unintentionallyreinforced one that is exclusive.

• Lead inclusive meetings – thebedrock of company culture – by practicing constructive dissent andelevating underrepresented perspectives

As Singh has seen time and time again, any organization can meaningfully change – you just need the right tools.
