About Kaela Blanks

JEDI is a business mindset that isn\'t one-size fits all. Let\'s work together to put the power of diversity in the hands of your people. An effective justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) strategy is like dropping a stone in a pond. When done right, the impact ripples through the organization\'s people and culture, into its products and services, and finally into the community. I hope to be that stone to have that greater impact on people’s lives.I believe in making an impact by empowering people to thrive through JEDI strategic initiatives. Meeting people and organizations where they are to find the right JEDI solutions is critical to creating truly diverse workplaces of inclusion where our talent can feel a true sense of belonging. To help meet strategic JEDI goals, I create meaningful internal and external partnerships, while providing uncritical and insightful counsel. Sustainable change occurs over time through authentic and strategic approaches to making change happen, which I look forward to doing so together.
