About Governor Jay Inslee and Dean Schroeder, PhD.:

Governor Jay Inslee

Jay Inslee is a fifth-generation Washingtonian who has lived and worked in urban and rural communities on both sides of the state. He grew up in the Seattle area where his father, Frank, was a high school teacher and coach. His mother, Adele, worked as a sales clerk at Sears & Roebuck. Jay worked his way through college and graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in economics before earning his law degree at Willamette University. He and his wife, Trudi, then moved to Selah, a small town near Yakima where they raised their three sons. Jay worked as an attorney and prosecutor.

Jay first became involved in public service in 1985 when he and Trudi helped lead the effort to build a new public high school in Selah. Motivated to fight against proposed funding cuts for rural schools, Jay went on to represent the 14th Legislative District in the state House of Representatives. He continued serving communities in the Yakima Valley when he was elected to Congress in 1992. The Inslees later moved back to the Puget Sound area where Jay was elected to Congress in 1998, serving until 2012 when he was elected governor. He was re-elected in 2016 & 2020.

During his time in Congress, Jay became known as a forward-thinking leader, especially on issues of clean energy and the environment. He co-wrote a book, "Apollo's Fire: Igniting America's Clean-Energy Economy," about a national program to fight climate change through clean energy innovation and job-creation.

Session Description:

This presentation will include describing how the behaviors we see at work are indicative of the culture. Behavior change can only come through self awareness and self reflection. PDCA provides a 4-step process to improve one's behavior through: Plan: planning which behavior to change and choosing an opportunity to practice, Do (practicing changing a behavior), Check (reflecting on what happened in Do) and Acting or Adjusting (Based on what you learned in Check, what will you try next?). It's a cycle, so the learner can either continue to improve the initial behavior they chose or move on to another. A PDCA self-reflection tool will be provided. This practice can be applied to any behavior change at work or in the community including DEI.
