Short transcript excerpt from a YouTube talk about improving career outcomes for underrepresented professionals, emphasizing that headline metrics (e.g., moving representation from 2% to 42%) don’t tell the full story and that sustained conversations and investment are needed to drive change.

Good for you. You moved the needle from 2% to 42%. That metric, in and of itself, isn't telling the full story.
No.
And so what? It's conversations we need. What else do we need? Investing.
Investing in the career advancement of all underrepresented professionals, regardless of levels of seniority. And don't assume just because you have people that are in certain roles that their ambitions stop there, right? No, they don't. There are, there are only two black female CEOs in the Fortune 500 right now, you know, and that's actually a record at the moment for many, many years. There was just one or, or none at all. You know, ambition doesn't stop once you, once you hit a certain point. And we also, we don't want to forget about junior, more junior employees, too.
