British Scandal

Plus, remember the headless man in the photograph at the heart of our scandal? Lyndsy knows who he is…Do you have a suggestion for a scandal you would like us to cover?

A Defining Moment for Inclusion
The momentum behind diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) came to an abrupt halt at the start of the year. DE&I initiatives once championed as a force for workplace equity and growth are now being condemned, sidelined, and stripped of their visibility—at least until political winds shift again. But at what cost?We invited Margaret Spence, an expert and advocate for transformative and inclusive change, to discuss the cost of these reduced investments and what organizations can do to respond. Margaret motivates leaders to not focus on the term “DE&I,” but on what inclusion truly...

Women, Minorities, and Power—Hitler’s Germany and Castro’s Cuba
Welcome to Mr. Hutchings History! In today’s episode, we explore the treatment of women and minorities as a key element in the consolidation of power in Nazi Germany and revolutionary Cuba.

In contrast, we look at Fidel Castro’s promises of racial equality for Afro-Cubans and his efforts to promote gender equality, alongside the realities and limitations of these reforms.

E30: The Power of Equity – Distilling Equity Into Talent Strategies
When you think about equity, what are your first thoughts? The normal narrative around DEI goes something like this, “Organizations must make diversity not a nice to have but a key advantage in your organizations’ core mission, corporate and social responsibility, and because it’s the right thing to do.” Nowhere in that discussion do we add equity. In this episode, Margaret Spence will follow up on last week's episode, where she discussed the collective impact of equity.
