Shownotes

Right, rebels, we need to talk. 

You’ve probably heard the whispers - DEI is out of fashion, companies are quietly shelving their initiatives, and the world seems to be moving backwards. 

But here’s the thing: just because something is out of favour doesn’t mean it’s not essential. 

In fact, it’s more important than ever. 

Today, I’m joined by the brilliant Gardy Guiteau, a powerhouse in this space, to unpack what’s really happening, why fear is driving the backlash, and what leaders need to do next. 

Join me. 

Highlights:

(4:11) Challenges in DEI Work

(7:54) Niceness vs. Authenticity

(16:33) Historical Context and Lessons

(26:10) Addressing Fear and Resistance

(40:01) Managing Polarisation and Fostering Inclusion

(46:35) Empowering Individuals and Organisational Responsibility
