In this genuine treat of a conversation new on the podcast this week with founder of the Competence Centre for Workplace Equity, Ashanti Bentil-Dhue we explore:

- Why a DEI strategy that's not linked to organisational strategy will always struggle to get buy-in and how to change it

- Why you're not behind in your DEI journey and how to overcome this mindset

- How taking more action doesn't always equal more progress and what to do instead

- How to equip every person responsible for delivering DEI initiatives with the core competencies they need to be effective and drive exceptional results

- How to start gathering evidence and data from within your organisation and stop relying on external research sources to drive decision making

- How to cultivate neutrality as a DEI practitioner, putting aside personal perspectives and activism, focusing instead on organisational strategy

Huge thanks to Ashanti for her generosity in sharing so much in such a value-packed conversation. We’re thrilled this is just a taster of what you can expect from Ashanti, who will be joining us at the Inclusive Workplace Conference on 20th & 21st November in London.
