In this episode we chat with Katherine Ann Byam, and ESG change agent for organizations, internationally acclaimed podcaster and best selling author of 'Do What Matters'. We tackle how to thrive as ‘an only’, how to work on yourself and discover your biases and those of others with curiosity and in doing so get curious about the planet. She is on a mission to engage and empower more businesses and individuals to lead net positive lives.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• A company‘s culture when weaponised can be a blueprint for bias.

• As long as your brain functions there is some kind of bias in you

• You need to work through vulnerability on your own, make sure you are speaking from your scar not your wound

• Take time to understand what leading a net positive lifestyle can mean for you

• Questions are your friend, conclusions are your worst enemy

• Black women don’t start off wanting to be a stereotype and be labelled a troublemaker.

• Diversity created our one blue planet and inclusion will help us save it
