Ep 5: Toby Mildon: A Listening Life


Listen Later

I’ve been following the progress of Toby Mildon since before he took the plunge and started to build his diversity and inclusion consultancy in 2019. Prior to that he held roles at the BBC and Deloitte, so it was fascinating to follow his journey. Speaking to him recently though, I learned so much more about the complexity of his choices. Toby talks in the podcast about the scripts, fears and expectations that added so many layers to his decision to leave the big successful roles. 

 

Toby trained as a coach and used his coaching in his employed roles. Initially he found it difficult to establish a commercially sound business based on this generalised coaching approach alone, and decided to niche down further as a Diversity and Inclusion Architect. Since then, he has never looked back.

 

Toby is now a key note speaker, an author and a consultant who works with businesses to devise diversity and inclusion strategies. I felt so privileged to hear the story directly from Toby and hope we share lots of practical tips and ideas that anyone starting a consultancy can lift and use.
