As we mark National Inclusion Week, this #BITBPodcast episode dives deep into what it really takes to create inclusive cultures in our boardrooms and beyond. 🎙️
This week, Monique Carayol is joined by the brilliant Suzy Levy - bestselling author of Mind the Inclusion Gap, experienced board member, and trusted advisor to senior leaders navigating some of the most complex challenges in diversity and inclusion.
In this honest and insightful conversation, Suzy shares her journey from management consulting to becoming a leading voice on inclusion. She unpacks why inclusion is a skillset, not just a trait, the difference between being “nice” and being truly inclusive, and the practical framework leaders can use to drive real change: knowledge, empathy, and action. 💡
Suzy also reflects on her own experiences in boardrooms, the challenges of navigating cultural and gender norms, and how leaders at every level can build the confidence and skills to influence inclusive decision-making.
This episode is packed with powerful insights, real-life stories, and practical advice that leaders can put into action straight away. It’s a must-listen for anyone who wants to be part of creating workplaces where everyone can thrive.
