In this episode, we're talking all about the "Work" of inclusion, and how to stay engaged and motivated when it starts to get hard (because it does)!
Today I am joined by the incredible DEI speaker and consultant Grace Mosuro, and we talk about everything! From the importance of proper name pronunciation and how it affects career progression, to the complexities of addressing race equity in the workplace, and the ongoing need for inclusion efforts even in the face of public backlash.
Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:
1. Effort Matters
The importance of making an effort to pronounce difficult names correctly as a sign of respect and inclusion.
2. Systemic Challenges
Understanding the systemic and historical barriers that impede the progress of marginalised communities, particularly in senior leadership roles.
3. Continuous Learning
Inclusion is not a one-time task but an ongoing journey requiring continuous learning, adaptation, and genuine effort.
As you listen to this episode, I invite you to reflect on this question:
How can you contribute to fostering an inclusive environment in your own workplace or community by addressing both the small and large barriers to inclusion?
