Uplifting Impact

WELCOME TO THE UPLIFTING
IMPACT PODCAST!

The Uplifting Impact Podcast is a platform that fosters dynamic conversations around the intersection of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Leadership. Directing our conversations are Uplifting Impact’s Chief Change Agent, Deanna Singh, and Chief Information Officer, Justin Ponder. Both are renowned thought leaders, teachers and consultants within the DEI space and are known for the ability to teach difficult lessons in gentle ways that inspire change and innovation within organizations.

Our mission is to provide actionable insights and wisdom from various leaders, executives, consultants as well as entrepreneurs. We’ve had industry leaders from companies such as Hewlett Packard (HP), Ford, Kohl’s and more come on board to share their expertise within the DEI space.

If we inspire one listener and leave them with ideas of how they can improve their DEI leadership and life skills, we consider that the ultimate accomplishment.

How Day-To-Day Interactions Create Company Culture

On today’s episode, Deanna sits down with Will Murphy, Head of Global Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (R&D) at Amgen. As the lead of the company’s DEI arm, he strives to spearhead a division with a deep commitment to fostering the culture of belonging where diversity is celebrated and inclusion is the norm. Will aims to take on how he leads the segment of a big organization with individuals from all walks of life, and how the company experiences DEI resistance. He will also enlighten how he overcomes these push backs and the synergy between the work and internal segment which plays a big role in his day-to-day operations.
