  • World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue & Development

    “In Conversation” series Pt. 7

    Today is World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue & Development 🌍

    There is overwhelming evidence that diverse teams are good for business (despite what Trump and co. would like us to think!).

    Yet companies often struggle to move from dialogue, or performative celebrations, to meaningful development and improvement.

    This conversation explores how organisations can really start shifting the needle through intentional action.
    🧮 Whether quotas are the answer?
    💪 What rolling up your sleeves and doing the work looks like?
    😴 And if you exhaust your “only’s”?

    Huge thanks to amazing Dianne Greyson of the #EthnicityPayGap campaign and Equilibrium Mediation Consulting Ltd and Grace Mosuro of Aquaintz Consulting who brilliantly shared their expertise, ideas and experience in this episode.
