Description
Join DLA as we kick off the 2026 season of our webinar series on Equity and Social Justice.
This month we talk about “Fixing Fairness” and are proud to be in conversation with strategist, consultant, and author Lily Zheng for a powerful virtual workshop inspired by their newest book.
This engaging session invites leaders and practitioners to rethink how fairness actually works in organizations and how to fix what is broken.
Lily Zheng brings research-backed insight and practical guidance to help you recognize hidden inequities and take meaningful action.
Drawing on historical case studies, deep research, and a decade of consulting experience with organizations of all sizes, this book reveals the four tenets that will shape the next evolution of workplace equity:
- Outcomes over Intentions: Don’t chase trends. Do what it takes to measurably achieve greater fairness, access, inclusion, and representation for all.
- Systems over Self-Help: Don’t fixate on individual biases. Solve the root causes of discrimination by shaping workplace norms, culture, processes, and practices.
- Coalitions over Cliques: Don’t just preach to the choir. Build bridges and movements that engage everyone as part of the solution.
- Win-Win over Zero-Sum: Don’t give in to “us versus them.” Create and relentlessly communicate a vision for a better status quo for everyone.
Walk away with clear strategies you can apply immediately to build fairer systems and stronger teams.
Register with DLA today to be part of a thoughtful and motivating conversation that turns intention into impact.
