Why is it so hard to create real change in diversity, equity, and inclusion?

This week, I’m excited to chat to the incredible Richard Cootie, a DEI specialist and anti-racism advocate, who has dedicated his life to empowering others and making systemic change.

Richard’s journey is an inspiring one, and in this episode, we dive deep into the heart of diversity, equity, and inclusion, with key insights on how we can all take action to drive real change:

 

In this episode, we discuss:

  1. The importance of authenticity in leadership and inclusion
  2. Why equity should be the foundation of every organization’s DEI strategy
  3. How to overcome systemic challenges and create equal opportunities for all
  4. The role of mentors, sponsors, and advocates in empowering underrepresented groups
  5. Richard’s powerful thoughts on leveraging privilege to level the playing field

Richard’s perspective is something we all need to hear, especially as we look at the real-world impact of inclusion, equity, and social justice. If you’re ready to get inspired and learn how to take action in your own sphere of influence, listen now!
