Course Description

Join us for a conversation with Ingrid Edstrom, Priestess of Profits. She supports accounting firms and mission-driven businesses in cultivating the systems and practices that uphold their core values, creating a more positive impact in the world and greater fulfillment and success. Ingrid will join me to discuss a different way to look at DEIB conversations. The DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) landscape within the accounting profession has been losing momentum. This is driven, in part, by the perception that DEI efforts can seem overly focused on racial issues. This focus may inadvertently create an atmosphere where certain groups feel targeted or blamed, fostering a counterproductive environment. Adding justice to the framework creates an opportunity to disrupt the status quo and catalyze a profound shift in mindset. Reframing through the JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) lens can broaden the narrative, positioning these efforts to address disparities and as a proactive strategy to foster ethical, equitable, and holistic business practices. 

We'll explore how accounting professionals, as stewards of the financial narrative, can leverage their unique position to influence change in our profession, financial systems, educational institutions, and beyond. This broader, more inclusive approach encourages a deeper understanding of justice and equity as foundational elements in driving meaningful change within the accounting profession and the wider global business community. Our goal is not just to provide answers but to ignite questions and discussions that lead to increased self-awareness, mutual understanding, and proactive steps toward a more equitable world. 

Learning Objectives: 


  • Determine the importance of widening the perspective in diversity and inclusion efforts 

  • Recognize the complexities involved in initiating DEIB conversations 

  • List strategies for initiating and sustaining brave and effective conversations about justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion
