Good Intentions, Bad Results. Coming January 2023
In this must-read book for anyone desiring more effectiveness across cultural differences, former licensed therapist and DEI expert Phyllis Braxton-Frierson “edutains™” you with concrete concepts, tools and transformative reflections to build your intercultural confidence at work, home and school. In a time of high racial tension, xenophobia and political divide, Good Intentions, Bad Results. Is a refreshing gift for the curious student to the experienced diversity professional.
Drawing on her own powerful story and 25 years of experience, Braxton is revered amongst DEI experts, celebrated by her clients and trusted in her community to be honest, yet gentle, always keeping the goal of empathy and effectiveness in mind. Braxton, a past adjunct professor, describes her early eye-opening stints growing up in small town, segregated, Mississippi, working for non-profits and consulting the gambit of industries which led to this page turning, practical guide.
In Good Intention, Bad Results, she takes the readers on a developmental mindset journey. She injects intellect an eight-grader can understand, real humor, unmatched savvy, pensive reflection and a call to action. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from transforming organizations and personal relationships from being conflictual to collaborative and from traditional to timeless. Ask yourself -- do you want to be right or effective? If you answered the latter, then you’ve taken the best first step.
