Welcome to the 92nd episode of the award-winning Diverse Minds podcast! As you know, during the month of June our theme is corporate social responsibility, so in today's episode, I talk about meaningful engagement with social campaigns and not simply jumping on the bandwagon.

Welcome to the 91st episode of the award-winning Diverse Minds podcast. Today we are going to be talking about Empathy at work. For many people in the UK as we once again start to transition back to a hybrid style of workplace connecting with colleagues again will be imperative.

Everyone will have been on a different journey had varying experiences and perhaps want this to be acknowledged in the workplace. It’s vital for workplaces and all staff to be aware and mindful of communication, conversation and support.

To join me in discussing this in further details is expert Shola Kaye.

Welcome to the 92nd episode of the award-winning Diverse Minds podcast! For June the theme is corporate social responsibility and as it’s volunteers’ week, we are kicking off this month with the topic of volunteering.

Welcome to the 91st episode of the award-winning Diverse Minds podcast. May is National Teen Self Esteem Month 2020 and it's a great opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of ensuring our teens are self-aware and feel confident about themselves.

The effect that teenagers' self-esteem has on their physical and mental well-being is of paramount importance and is a crucial focus of the awareness month.

The teenage years are a notoriously difficult time for the majority of young people and therefore this is a fantastic way of checking in and ensuring we are doing everything that we can to support and nurture the teens in our lives- be it family or friends.

On top of the physical, hormonal and emotional changes going on, teens also have to contend with the added pressures of social changes, new relationships, increased educational expectations, peer pressure and impossible societal standards perpetuated by the media, society and often parents.

To join me to talk about this and more is the wonderful Jenny Garrett OBE.

Welcome to the 88th episode of the award-winning Diverse Minds podcast. It’s Deaf Awareness Week from 3rd to 9th of May, and the theme is ‘Coming Though it Together’.

The UK Council on Deafness, founded in 1993 and the national umbrella organisation for charities and professional bodies working in the field of deafness, coordinates deaf awareness week, which involves UK wide series of national and local events to raise awareness of the needs of the 1 in 6 deaf or hard of hearing people in the UK.

Deaf Awareness Week aims to promote the positive aspects of deafness, promote social inclusion and raise awareness of the huge range of local organisations that support deaf people and their family and friends.

But what about sensory impairments as a whole in the wider sense and people who may have a number of disabilities. To talk about this in greater detail, I am joined by Richard Kramer, the CEO of SENSE.
