This week, Lucinda is joined by Julie Kratz, the Founder and Chief Engagement Officer of Next Pivot Point, created to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, to discuss the topic of allyship - supporting people who may be different to us - and why it's a crucial part of not just advancing culture in the workplace, but in society as a whole.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Allyship and inclusive leadership are very similar, and are not concepts that we can simply switch off outside of the workspace. They are a state of mind and constantly active.
• There are nuanced differences between regions. Progression upon certain groups seems to be more advanced in different places, such as gender inclusion in Scandinavia.
• As leaders, we must empower those around us. Find the allies who are passionate about building awareness and give them a voice in your organisation.
• Making mistakes is natural. What we have to do is admit errors when they arise, apologise, and treat them as learning opportunities.

BEST MOMENTS

'There's no on and off switch for allyship'

'Allyship is to support folks who are different to yourself'

'There is so much complexity to those conversations that we've given air time to'

'Instead of going to a reactive response, think about it as a learning opportunity'
