Episode 29 - Toby Mildon - 'If I Can, Anyone Can'

This week, I'm chatting with Toby Mildon, a workplace inclusion consultant who is on a mission to help companies embrace diversity.

We kick things off by reminiscing about Toby's inspiring grandmother and how she encouraged his creativity and independence despite the challenges he faced growing up with a disability. You'll hear about his early career adventures, from boldly asking for a job at Lloyds Bank to loving life in British Airways and beyond.

Toby opens up about his personal journey, including his experience of being in a coma and the transformative decision to come out as gay. We explore his career shift into diversity and inclusion at the BBC and later at Deloitte, before he took the entrepreneurial leap to start his own consultancy.

Join us as we discuss the current DEI landscape, the challenges Toby faces in his business, and his vision for the future.
