Your journey begins with the foundational Step 0: DEI Incentives, which calls for self‐reflection and introspection. The basic definition of an incentive is something that motivates or drives a person to do something or behave in a certain way. By the end of this step, you will identify the DEI incentives that motivate or drive the pursuit of DEI for you and/or your organization.
I begin this chapter by introducing a framework—dimensions of personal transformation—that sets the stage for understanding, exploring, and identifying your personal DEI incentives. This first half of the Step 0: DEI Incentives culminates with the development of a personal DEI mission and vision. The second half of Step 0: DEI Incentives expands upon the dimensions of personal transformation to introduce dimensions of organizational transformation. This similarly sets the stage to clarify your organizational DEI incentives and culminates with the development of an organizational DEI mission and vision. The reason it is important to understand these concepts at the onset of our journey is because I will reference or build upon them throughout the book.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
