Diversity, Equity & Inclusion - Future ...

What happens when you put four passionate people in a room together talking about diversity? Magic! Thatโ€™s what happens. ๐ŸŒŸ And not just because we all come from different backgrounds, but because our lenses into inclusion in the workplace are also so diverse. From Simon Dewar, Group CEO of BSI Digital Learning, to Kala Philips, CEO of BSI Learning institute and Nola Turner-Jensen, a Senior Aboriginal Research Fellow at Melbourne Uni to myself, Author of the Gender Penalty and When men lead women. The clip is my take on the importance of DEI from an interpersonal perspectiveโ€ฆ and itโ€™s not just DEI as it stands today; itโ€™s the outcome or goal of DEI - ๐›๐ž๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ . Diversity without understanding is just difference. Itโ€™s disruptive. But diversity with understanding is transformative. It creates belonging.

So you think you don't have influence? Think again.

This clip covers one of my favourite takes on the reality of influence: We all have it. Sometimes, we even unconsciously influence people in the wrong direction, without knowing it.

Why are women's voices overlooked and undervalued?

Why are women's voices overlooked and undervalued?

Communication is a critical workplace skill. It is a way to contribute value, demonstrate knowledge, influence outcomes, build relationships and build your leadership brand โ€“ unless youโ€™re a woman. Then itโ€™s not so straightforwardโ€ฆ

When men speak up, their voices are valued. When women speak up, their contributions are often challenged. This makes being seen and heard a constant battle for women in the workplace.

Why are womenโ€™s voices overlooked and undervalued? Why does society hear women differently when they speak? What can we do about it? Find out in this article.

Difference Project - Women in Support Roles

Do women choose female dominated roles in corporate spaces (think: HR, marketing, etc) because itโ€™s a natural fit for them, or is it because itโ€™s expected, or easier, or just seems like a better fit? What do you think? Listen to the excerpt from The Difference Project interview to hear more thoughts on this โ€ฆ.

Why women aren't heard as leaders in the workplace

Why women aren't heard as leaders in the workplace

In mixed gender meetings, women are more likely to be talked over, interrupted and ignored than men. 

This is not necessarily because men don't believe women have value, but because we have all been conditioned to hear men and women differently.

Traditional stereotyping dictates that men are the leaders and women are the supporters. And so when it comes to how we listen, we give men more airtime and women less so.

When I was interviewed by the lovely Shar Moore for YMAG, I discussed several reasons why women aren't heard as equally as men, including:

  • second-generation bias (inherited structural bias)

  • being a minority in a majority environment (less women than men in leadership)

  • social backlash (why common career advice for women doesn't always work)

What have you noticed in your workplace?
