In today's episode, we revisit one of Kami & Ishreen's golden episodes on the need to create a diverse talent base within your workforce. 

Hear about how, when you begin by exploring and understanding your own privilege and recognise and own it on a conscious level, you have the ability to then work with your organisation by applying the same principles and processes.

When you move into a position where your team is diverse your organisation will have the creativity, value, and ability to lead in your sector.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Organisations that are committed to creating a fair playing field will use introspection to help them achieve this
• Ask ‘what structures are in place that stop it from being fair?’
• You need a range of skills in your organisation that will bring diversity
• When everyone thinks the same you are not in a position to cope with any change
• Explore and learn about your own privilege and the impact it has on others
• You need to own your privilege at a conscious level to move from invisibility and denial
• People who have privilege want to learn about what makes them privileged
• Privilege can be a block to progress in an organisation but it also has the power to transform when put to good use and can cause a privilege eruption
• Your organisation can lead in its sector with a diverse team who bring huge  value and creativity
• These are hard conversations so compassion for yourself and others is a vital part of the process
