In this episode of The Equity Hour, Dr. Tami Dean welcomes Dr. Courtney Teague—leadership strategist, executive coach, and founder of CLT and Associates—for a dynamic conversation on transforming organizational culture through equity, inclusion, and shared humanity. With over 17 years of experience across corporate, education, and government sectors, Dr. Courtney unpacks what it really means to build inclusive systems where people don’t just survive—they thrive.

From uncovering mislabeling in special education to challenging performative equity statements in corporate culture, this episode explores how leaders in all industries can move from words to impact. You’ll learn the role of invisible bias, how data-informed decisions drive cultural change, and why “belonging” must be budgeted—not just branded.

Key Topics Covered:

• Why equity work is deeply personal and not just professional
• The difference between inclusion and conformity in workplace culture
• Why equity should be a strategic imperative—not a charity initiative
• Practical ways to create data-informed, trust-based environments

Perfect For:

• Education leaders & school district administrators
• HR executives & DEI practitioners
• Nonprofit directors & corporate change-makers
• Organizational development and culture strategists
