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.

The Board Success Podcast - How to have ...

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.

The Difference Project: The gendered future of work

In this episode, we explored how to begin a new design for the workplace. One thatโ€™s built for a 21st century social and business environment. One that accounts for the roles that men and women play in society, and in the home โ€“ many of which are (either traditionally or biologically) dictated by gender. One that allows women to pursue career goals and make a meaningful contribution to an organisation while ensuring that the needs of carer and homelife are met. Watch the recorded episode here.

The ability to persuade and inspire is essential in business, and you do that by the words and sentences you use.

For me it's about psychological safety. Creating an environment where people feel safe to be themselves.

I want to be clear here - you don't necessarily have to be friends with your coach, or even like them particularly, to get value, but you do need to trust that they have your back, and can help you. I'm curious though... what do you think?
