She was later able to leverage her skills and background—plus her love of burritos—when she was hired to oversee language, culture, and diversity programs for Chipotle Mexican Grill.In 2005, Jill took the next step in her career by launching Multilingual Connections.

Adeyemi Adeyosoye spent over 11 years learning about spirituality, quantum physics, and energy. He studied Mechanical engineering and has an extensive background in Business Development and Sales. He’s helped companies accelerate their growth and build successful teams. Throughout his life, he has always had an insatiable appetite to gain a deeper knowledge about spirituality and the evolution of the human spirit.  He’s read hundreds of books, attended numerous retreats, and invested thousands of dollars into personal development courses, all with the single intention of accelerating the development of his soul. Now we don’t talk about this much in leadership, but we should…and we’re about to do just that. Adeyemi created The Soul School because, after his personal journey, he realized that the path to spiritual activation is unnecessarily complex for most people. It is filled with dense information and an endless amount of YouTube videos that repeat the same surface-level stuff while wasting your time.  To put it mildly, if you are someone who yearns to go deep like me, you are forced to spend hundreds of hours of your precious time and obscene amounts of money researching while constantly feeling like you’re missing something. Worst of all, most of the concepts can't be applied to improve your physical, financial, and emotional well-being. The Soul School, is a game-changer where you’ll learn DEEP and HIDDEN spiritual concepts that are specifically designed to accelerate the Evolution of your Soul and as a result, supremely up-level your leadership. This is a place where you are able to advance your life financially, emotionally, and physically as you learn. So get excited because your true transformation starts right now!More Info: The Soul SchoolSponsors: Master Your Podcast Course: MasterYourSwagFree Coaching Session: Master Leadership 360 CoachingSupport Our Show: Click HereLily's Story: My Trust Manifesto

David Latten is the Head of Global Indirect Procurement and Supplier Diversity & Equality at Logitech. Lean in as he discusses what he's passionate about, his niche: As of today, despite all our best supplier diversity efforts, only 6.1% of the total US corporate spending goes to Black, women and other under-represented suppliers. The other 94% of corporate spend represents a vast untapped opportunity to positively impact equality. Most of this 94% of non-diverse spend is with very large suppliers. These large, non-diverse organizations employ millions of people across many countries and accrue trillions of revenue each year. These influential companies have the power to shape a gender fair future and in turn we have the power to influence them. We will not achieve gender equality without these large organizations taking a stand. Logitech along with Gender Fair co-founded The Coalition For Gender Fair Procurement with the simple aim of leveraging the multi-trillion dollar spending power of corporate procurement as a lever to provoke urgently needed progress towards gender equality. In coalition with GenderFair, Logitech has started assessing their high impact (high headcount and/or high revenue) suppliers for gender fairness using GenderFair/Ethisphere assessment based on the UN WEPs. We will continue to assess these suppliers each year with the hope and expectation of seeing progress in their gender fairness. We will also look to direct future spend decisions towards gender fair organizations. But this is not enough. We need others to take action with us. It is only by coming together that we can make meaningful progress towards gender equality. Only by uniting as an industry and with one voice asking one simple question; “Are you Gender Fair?” that we can fully unlock our influence for equality. None of us alone can be as influential as all of us together Our ultimate goal is to engender an industry wide change in procurement practices whereby all organizations assess all their high impact suppliers for gender fairness as a matter of course as we do today for risk, privacy, data security etc... and then make spend decisions accordingly. As a coalition we want to create a new procurement standard for gender equality. Finally, we are aware that to amplify the impact of this initiative, and to provoke industry wide change, we need allies. Our impact starts by extending an invitation for other progressive organizations to join Logitech, Gender Fair and Andela as founding members of the coalition.Sponsors: Master Your Podcast Course: MasterYourSwagFree Coaching Session: Master Leadership 360 CoachingSupport Our Show: Click HereLily's Story: My Trust Manifesto
