ON THE COVER: Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month May is the celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. We wondered what unique challenges and experiences diversity leaders of Asian-Pacific Islander descent may have experienced in their careers, and asked for their thoughts and opinions about leadership, diversity, and mentoring.
Habits of Highly Effective Diversity and Inclusion Communicators These are the people who disseminate all the diversity and inclusion-related information to their employees, consumers, shareholders, suppliers, communities and other groups. It’s an important role, and we know there are specific strategies that diversity communicators must develop in order to share this information effectively.
Thought Leaders With travel to seminars and conventions being curtailed, Profiles in Diversity Journal is bringing the diversity thought leaders to you.

International Diversity & Inclusion LEXICON |
The
700 Ideas & Concepts Everyone Should Know
At its core, diversity is about building relationships that
respect an individual’s inherent worth and dignity. At
the heart of any relationship is communication—be it between
employees at work or between a husband and wife. If you’ve
ever had to say, “I’m sorry. I misunderstood you,”
then you know that most of us need help communicating.
This lexicon is a valuable tool that will help your employees
engage in meaningful dialogue. It’s pocket-sized for convenience.
Keep it handy, write in it, bend its pages, and bookmark it
with sticky notes. Conversation about diversity often involves
words that are charged with emotion. Not everyone comes to the
table with the same understanding of words, even of the common
terms we use every day. It is absolutely imperative for all
of us to speak with precision and clarity. Only then can there
truly be a shared pool of knowledge, a shared experience that
transcends background, education, and upbringing.

"Having been associated with the Profiles
in Diversity Journal organization since its inception, I have seen
the magazine evolve and mature into one of today's leading diversity
communications media and diversity tools. Profiles in Diversity Journal
offers how-to/benchmarking information from leading diversity personnel
across a range of industries and related professionals. Coverage is
up to date on diversity concerns and pioneering activities. They also
have established coalitions with well-known diversity organizations
that provide additional breadth to their coverage."

"Diversity and inclusion are a part of what Chevron stands for,
and it is the diversity of our global workforce, communities, suppliers,
and customers that makes us more competitive and contributes to our
success. Profiles in Diversity Journal has been an excellent resource
for advancing diversity and inclusion in our organization. The publication
provides practical as well as cutting-edge tools, global insights
across many industries, as well as valuable benchmarking research.
I applaud the entire Team for its continued commitment to global diversity
and inclusion." Carole

In Diversity Journal sets the standard for any publication aiming

informative and balanced. The magazine is a guidebook and an extremely

"Profiles in Diversity Journal is a leading edge publication of choice for many diversity practitioners and business leaders. It provides up to date diversity-related competitive practices, global workforce trends, and thought leadership and I appreciate the perspectives from the C-suite as well as the front line who share practical and innovative new ideas and insights. Unlike many other diversity publications, PDJ highlights the gamut of diversity in its broadest sense and focuses not just on the "what" and "why" of diversity, but the "how" and this is what diversity practitioners are expecting and need these days. I look forward to each issue of PDJ. Congratulations on a great publication."
