Episode 12: Conscious Inclusion: How to ‘do’ EDI one decision at time, with Catherine Garrod

In this podcast we hear from Catherine Garrod, founder of Compelling Culture and author of Conscious Inclusion: How to ‘do’ EDI one decision at time.

Catherine lives by this quote “Unless you’re consciously including people, you’re almost certainly unconsciously excluding people.” She believes when employees can be themselves and influence how things are done, their lives are better, they're more creative and better problem solvers. And when consumers are authentically represented in media, products and services, organisations and the communities they serve thrive.

​

Rather than top-down change initiatives involving huge teams, Catherine advocates for combining skill and will to guide people in their everyday thinking.
