DEI Advisors, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering self-empowerment in the hospitality industry, has launched ‘It’s Personal Stories, A Hospitality Podcast.’ The podcast will focus on the personal journeys of self-empowerment from leaders across the hospitality sector.
Since DEI Advisors was founded in June 2022, the organization has amassed more than 200 interviews with hospitality executives, thought leaders, life coaches, university professors, and best-selling authors, creating a platform rich with insights on career development, leadership and personal well-being.
The launch of It’s Personal Stories is driven by feedback from listeners who find the leaders’ stories of career triumphs, setbacks and strategies inspiring and applicable.
These interviews offer practical guidance on navigating workplace challenges, self-advocacy, achieving work-life harmony and building influential networks. Topics also include advice on finding sponsors and mentors, overcoming negativity and driving innovation.
It’s Personal Stories reflects DEI Advisors’ belief that empowerment begins with authentic storytelling. By sharing these experiences, the organization aims to inspire individuals to dream big, pursue bold ambitions and develop the confidence to thrive in their careers.
The podcast initiative is led by industry veterans David Kong, Lan Elliott, Rachel Humphrey, Dorothy Dowlin and Dr. Huilian Duan. All interviews, past and future, can be accessed on ItsPersonalStories.com and through major podcast platforms, including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
DEI Advisors is an Arizona-based nonprofit organization with a mission to empower individuals in the hospitality industry by sharing insights and personal stories from leaders across the field.
