The Leader Unwritten Ft. Premila Jina

I believe today’s conversation is one that many women of colour will feel in their body and not just in their mind. I’m joined by Premila Jina, a global leader, speaker and inclusive leadership consultant whose journey has taken her from India to Kenya, through eighteen years in London’s high-pressure corporate world and now to […]

Who Are You Learning From In Uncertain Times?

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been sitting with the feedback I received after Episode 93 on Dehumanising Language and it has confirmed something I think many of us are feeling. These are morally compromised times and when power is held without accountability, it affects the way people speak, the way institutions move and the way communities […]

Inclusion work asks something different from us. It does not move quickly. It does not follow the pace of online business. And it certainly does not offer the instant clarity we have been taught to expect. In this episode, I am sharing why meaningful racial equity work will never move at the speed of business […]

Empathy vs Compassion: What You Need to Know as a Heart-Led Space-holder
