Last week: being forgotten because of age. This week: being invited but never asked to dance.

"Diversity is inviting someone to the party. Inclusion is asking them to dance." - Nicky Clement

We're brilliant at getting people through the door. We've got the diversity splits, the representation numbers, the targets. But then what?

We measure who's in the room. But do we measure who gets listened to? Who gets the stretch assignments? Who gets invited to the conversations that happen after the meeting ends?

The quiet ones. The introverts. The single parents who can't do networking drinks. The people who are brilliant but terrible at politics. They're all thinking "...but what about me?"

Inclusion isn't a policy. It's a choice we make every single day.
