Nadia Nagamootoo, a Chartered Business Psychologist, drives systemic change through diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in organisations. She emphasises the need to uncover and address the invisible, historical biases embedded in systems designed by and for the majority. Urging leaders to reflect on their beliefs and develop emotional intelligence, Nadia encourages them to embrace complexity and engage in open-minded conversations to navigate DEI effectively. Nadia advocates for a more inclusive world through storytelling, self-awareness and a willingness to embrace redesigning for difference.

 

KEY TAKEAWAY

‘We need to start redesigning for difference and that means leaders being comfortable moving away from the binary and making the most of who they’ve got in their team.’
