  • Golden Episode - Creating a Diverse Talent Base

    In today's episode, we revisit one of Kami & Ishreen's golden episodes on the need to create a diverse talent base within your workforce. 

    Hear about how, when you begin by exploring and understanding your own privilege and recognise and own it on a conscious level, you have the ability to then work with your organisation by applying the same principles and processes.

    When you move into a position where your team is diverse your organisation will have the creativity, value, and ability to lead in your sector.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Organisations that are committed to creating a fair playing field will use introspection to help them achieve this
    • Ask ‘what structures are in place that stop it from being fair?’
    • You need a range of skills in your organisation that will bring diversity
    • When everyone thinks the same you are not in a position to cope with any change
    • Explore and learn about your own privilege and the impact it has on others
    • You need to own your privilege at a conscious level to move from invisibility and denial
    • People who have privilege want to learn about what makes them privileged
    • Privilege can be a block to progress in an organisation but it also has the power to transform when put to good use and can cause a privilege eruption
    • Your organisation can lead in its sector with a diverse team who bring huge  value and creativity
    • These are hard conversations so compassion for yourself and others is a vital part of the process

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘The structures have typically worked for white men

    ‘Create a diverse talent base in your organisation’

    ‘Once you know who you are you can speak from a place where people will listen’

  • Balancing the Scales of Gender in Mining - Part 2

    Today, Ishreen continues her interview with Stacy Hope, the Managing Director of Women in Mining UK. In this episode, they discuss the historical colonial roots of mining, the exclusionary design of mining companies, and the slow progress towards inclusivity. Stacey highlights the burden placed on women to overperform compared to men and the need to change narratives and language to achieve equity. The episode delves into the importance of listening to marginalized voices, understanding cultural nuances, and working collaboratively to address disparities in the mining sector. 

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • The mining sector exhibits significant gender disparities, with women being underrepresented in various positions such as technicians, professionals, and leadership roles.

    • The mining industry's systemic issues are rooted in a colonial history, shaping the current landscape of resource extraction and division of nation states.

    • The design and institutional legacy of mining companies have historically favored male perspectives, leading to exclusion of women, racial minorities, and ethnic groups.

    • Women in the mining industry face a disproportionate burden of overperformance, where a single failure can lead to exclusion, unlike their male counterparts who may continue to fail without consequences.

    • The language and narratives surrounding failure differ for men and women in the industry, highlighting the need for equal treatment and opportunities for all genders.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Mining, the extraction of resources, has a very colonial history to it. Even from the way in which Africa is carved out, it's based on colonial powers and resourcing." )

    "The burden placed on women to over perform, that drives disparity and drives the dwindling number of women in the industry."

    "We have to actually have our language and our narratives equal before we can even talk about equity and positions and pathways forward."

    "Mining has been defined, it's been designed, it's been driven by the male point of view. The design of mining itself has meant to exclude."

  • Golden Episode - What Is Privilege At Work? A Timely Refresher

    In today's episode, we revisit one of Kami & Ishreen's golden episodes on the impact of privilege in the workplace. 

    Privilege is a very emotive term but if you want to move beyond invisibility and denial for yourself then you need to explore and learn about your own privilege. When you own the privilege you have you are more able to understand the privilege in your organisation and take steps to make positive change

    Privilege can be a block to progress but it also has the power to transform and can lead to a privilege eruption

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • If privilege isn’t equable then fairness can’t exist.
    • The experiences you have are the basis for your values and are part of who you are.
    • Privilege is a special advantage or entitlement that a person uses to their own benefit or the detriment of another.
    • You have to learn to own the  privilege you have and know you are not your privilege.
    • History may have given you privilege it’s what you choose to do about it that matters.
    • We can assume that everyone entering an organisation comes in with the same level of capacity, privilege and resources.
    • There need to be reasonable adjustments to ensure that everyone starts at the same point.
    • We are in an uncertain, volatile, complex and ambiguous world so the skills required in an organisation mean a truly diverse workforce.
    • We need to create safe spaces for people to discuss and learn.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Some of us are not ready to acknowledge and accept that we have privilege’

    ‘We should be talking about privilege and how has impacted and shaped our society’

    ‘You want to cause a privilege eruption in your organisation because it will ensure your organisation's sustainability and longevity’
