E083: Kata for Good and #RootCauseRacism with Deondra Wardelle

In this podcast, I interview Deondra Wardelle, whom I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know over the past year. She is a strategic thinker and consultant based in Indianapolis (Indiana) who focuses on coaching, empowering and developing individuals towards achieving their personal and professional goals. Her passion and life’s calling is using Continuous Improvement methodologies via Vision Boards to help change the lives of people by turning their dreams into reality one day at a time. She is founder and CEO of On To The Next One. She is so uplifting and positive! I look forward to working with her more closely in the years to come… We are both part of the Lean Communicators network, and I found out that she has worked for and volunteered with nonprofit organizations, so I wanted to hear about her experience and insights. In addition to her nonprofit work, she is also the creator of the #RootCauseRacism, which was created last year during the aftermath of the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd to address and stamp out rampant racism globally. We also discuss her passion around the Toyota Kata, and how she feels it can help nonprofits and social injustice by learning and practicing the kata routines.
