A year in the life of a Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging practitioner.

What a wonderful year I have had. This info graphic will give you an insight into the wonderful and rewarding work that we have been privileged to undertake at Diversity Marketplace, with the support of many incredibly talented associates. From being invited by Rolls Royce as a subject matter expert to participate on a global webinar to promote authenticity and the importance of role modelling vulnerabilities, making it ok not to be ok, to running recruitment and engagement events in Mosques, Gurdwaras and Black churches; from internal benchmark audits to talking about BAME into Leadership to 30 Senior BAME Teachers who are on an Inclusive Leadership Development Programme; from Board Training on Inclusive Leadership to bringing unconscious bias training alive through forum theatre; from designing and running culture surveys to spending an average of 3 days a month facilitating a talent development programme for individuals who have struggled to progress in their organisations, (delegates fall within the following groups gender, BAME, LGBT and Disability); from coaching Head of D&I and Executive D&I champions to supporting clients to ensure that communities are effectively consulted on multi billion pound info-structure projects and supporting 50 D&I professionals assess current and future challenges that employers are facing are likely to face.

Plus a few voluntary roles and responsibilities to help my growth, awareness and understanding of some of the complex challenges that we face now and in the future...

I am privileged to be able to wake up each and every morning knowing that I can and will make a difference in this world. It is so much easier when you surround yourself with wonderful, passionate people.
