S7 Ep9: Diversity and Inclusion Whilst the World is Kicking Off About It


Listen Later

I first met Holly Straker-Humphreys before Humphreys was officially in the title, and what a ride it’s been - so when she said she’d come and chat on the podcast I was, as we say on LinkedIn, thrilled. Also buzzing, chuffed and excited. 

Holly is one of those people who has the ability to challenge your thinking while making you feel at your most comfortable to share what’s on your mind. 

She’s a Flex pioneer award winner, effortlessly navigating conversations in the workplace about diversity, inclusion and belonging, and shares her observations in a practical, solutions focussed way. There’s no hot air here. 

In the podcast we explored Three things you need to know about: diversity and inclusion whilst the world is kicking off about it, which included:

  1. People from underrepresented communities don’t want to steal your jobs
  2. Our differences mean we need different things - that doesn’t mean you get nothing
  3. A ‘snowflake eye roll’ situation to you, will always have a story behind it. If you listen it might make sense. 
  4. Zero notes, it was a cracking conversation that I think will resonate with so many of you. You can connect to Holly over on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/holly-straker-humphreys-ba32288b/
