In this Voices of Leadership episode of the Unleash Your Impact, Unlock Others podcast, Dave speaks with Liz Crutchley, DEI consultant, founder of Orange Orchid, and co-lead facilitator of Zentano’s upcoming Unlocking Inclusive Thinking workshop on 12 June at Stanbrook Abbey.

Through personal stories, thoughtful reflection and practical wisdom, Liz shares why inclusive leadership isn’t about getting everything right – it’s about showing up with curiosity, courage and connection.

Exploring topics from gender bias and neurodiversity to psychological safety and brave conversations this podcast discusses that it is not about “fixing people”, it is about getting the environment right. This episode unpacks what it truly means to build

belonging in the workplace, and why the best leaders are those who admit they don’t know everything but are willing to find out. Liz also introduces Diversity Rocks, a simple tool for sparking honest, impactful conversations.

This conversation is as practical as it is personal—and a must-listen for anyone who wants to lead with more humanity.

🔑 Key Talking Points:

• Why the 3 Cs—Connection, Curiosity & Courage, are the heart of inclusive leadership
• How introversion, upbringing and bias shaped Liz’s leadership lens
• What it takes to create real psychological safety
• Why DEI work isn’t about fixing individuals, it’s about fixing systems
• How Zentano’s Unlocking Inclusive Thinking workshop builds these principles into practice
