For managers and DEI leaders committed to moving from performative to impactful allyship at work, but unsure where to start, a step-by-step guide to creating change that actually sticks.

After our national reckoning on racial injustice, many organizations found themselves searching in vain for guidance on how to translate ideology into action—not just writing checks, but doing the hard work of creating diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces. Actions Speak Louder offers a blueprint for leaders and teams ready to look at their surroundings with new eyes, get out of their own way, and turn their energy into a concrete plan.

For years, Deanna Singh has led popular diversity trainings for a wide range of organizations, from non-profits to Fortune 500 companies. Her book expands on her time-tested mindset shifts and frameworks, answering questions such as:

●How not to have conversations about race at work, and what you can ask and say to truly support co workers of color

●How to design and implement inclusive policies, from the company holiday schedule to performance assessment metrics

●How to train your DEI trainers--who are too often thrust into their roles with little instruction or clarity about their decision rights--to audit your "racial climate" and hold you accountable in the future

Actions Speak Louder is designed for teams to read together, equipping them to come up with shared behaviors that advance an anti-racist culture at work. As Singh has seen time and time again, with the right tools, any organization can change meaningfully from the inside out.
