She was a Race Relations Consultant, Speaker, award-winning book author, and media personality. (see bio below).</p> <p>To honor Dr. Gail’s memory, we are revisiting the entire conversation we had with her in the Fall of 2020. We discussed the compelling business case for building bridges to promote racial equity in the constantly shifting environment, why we need more than good intentions to overcome system racism, and immediately actionable ideas for working together on problem-solving.</p> <h3>Resources for This Episode</h3> <ul> <li>Find out more about Dr. Gail’s online training program, “<a href= "https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/6121f016-29ed-4104-b77e-0b87f95f4f68/Dr.GailHayes_Marketing_RacialBiasintheWor-0001.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Eyes Wide Open: Unconscious Bias in the workplace for Managers</a>“</li> <li>Watch Dr. Gail’s first video in the Series “<a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an4Tgs-QusY&t=4s" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Five Things You Should Not Say To a Black Person</a>“</li> <li>Watch more videos on the “<a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTjD_oRDP2LmCJmQTuLUFUg?view_as=subscriber" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dr. Gail TV</a>” YouTube channel</li> <li><a href= "https://www.fastcompany.com/90525023/most-creative-people-2020-joy-buolamwini" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read the Fast Company article</a> about how Joy Buolamwini’s research helped persuade Amazon, IBM, and Microsoft to put a hold on facial recognition technology</li> <li>Listen to Growth Igniters Radio Episode 175, “<a href= "https://businessadvance.com/growth-igniters-radio/growth-igniters-radio-episode-175/" rel="noopener noreferrer">It’s Time to Face the El
