74. How to Become a Competent DEI Practitioner: { Lucy Ferguson }
In this episode, Ashanti Bentil-Dhue interviews Lucy Ferguson, a DEI practitioner and author who has been working for many years as a gender specialist and trainer, providing gender equality training to various organisations and individuals.
“ All of the people who come on our courses are very skilled in their particular knowledge area. But the main thing that they say is that they lack confidence as a trainer. So I tried to give them that confidence through giving them the theory and the practice and the chance to put it into practice. We create together a very horizontal learning environment where everyone feels safe to make mistakes. So you make the mistakes in this friendly environment, and get very good, solid, constructive feedback about how you can improve. Then you get the chance to practise several times so that you come out feeling much more confident. ”
Episode Highlights:
● What gender equality training is and why it's important
● What it means to be a good trainer in the virtual environment
● The importance of being accessible and inclusive
