She is a learning development expert in leading cultural and pupil engagement and leadership transformations, performance, and recognition programs. She is also an NLP Practitioner who is working her way to being a Ninja in her field.
They take an in-depth look at the theme of this year´s International Women's Day – Embrace Equity. Discussing what equity actually is and what we can do to achieve it, in particular in a business environment. They also cover the difference between equality and equity, why diversity matters, and much more besides.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We don't all start from the same place. So, some people need more help than others. Providing that extra support as and when it is needed is the foundation of creating an equitable world.
- Businesses need to recognize the need for equity and equality and strive to provide it. But they need clarity about how they achieve this and hold people to account.
- Putting the effort in upfront will attract talent and provide benefits on an ongoing basis.
- We are drawn to people who are similar to us, but if we want a truly equal and equitable society we need to take more of an interest in others that are not like us.
- Using the right language in your job adverts will make it clear to everyone that they can apply.
- Business owners need to get to know their workforce, their preferences, motivations, strengths, and weaknesses, so they can meet their needs and minimize the barriers they need to get through to succeed.
- Addressing negative belief cycles leads to behavior changes.
- Everyone has a responsibility to step up and call things out.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Equity is all about giving people the right things at the right time,’
‘Equality is about giving everybody the same access…. Equity is about recognizing differences and giving people the right support, at the right time.’
‘Organizations should want their population to reflect the area that they work in.’
‘If you can have that deeper level of understanding of where each other is coming from that helps’
‘Practice what you preach, if not it is a stack of cards.’
‘We have to be prepared to adapt, we can´t be entirely 100% ourselves at work. ’
ABOUT THE SHOW
People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan, and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
