In this episode of How To Take The Lead we focus on allyship as a leader. Neither of us profess to be experts in this area, in fact we are on our own learning journeys, but we feel this is an important aspect of being a leader.

In this episode we share our thoughts, experiences and learning, including:

·      07:52 – why does allyship matter?

·      11:53 – what can leaders do?

·      18:01 – making change happen

·      21:53 – challenging your own biases

·      29:00 – data warning

·      38:00 – fear factor

·      43:50 – institutional racism, Cricket Scotland and are we really learning?

·      53:46 – how to... be a better ally
