Equity, Diversity and Inclusion – Moving from talk to action with Ngozi Lyn Cole

Keywords: Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Psychological Safety, Code of Respect, Intersectionality.

In this podcast episode, I had an insightful discussion with consultant and coach Ngozi Lyn Cole about enhancing equity, diversity, and inclusion in organizations. We explored the critical elements that make an organisation more inclusive and diverse, with Ngozi explaining why equity goes beyond treating everyone the same and how it is crucial for an organization to have a diverse representation at every level.

We started our conversation by discussing the importance of inclusion and why it's essential to treat equity and diversity as separate but interconnected aspects. We then moved on to discuss a practical framework for transitioning towards inclusivity, which involves recognizing the importance of inclusion, setting clear commitments and strategies, and evaluating the impact.

We also discussed the importance of creating a safe environment for conversations around these pivotal topics and the need for an organisational audit to identify strengths and weaknesses.

This episode provides a wealth of actionable insights and resources for fostering an inclusive environment in any organisation.
