On episode 44 of the Public Sector Executive Podcast, host Dan Benn was joined by former Lord Mayor of Manchester, Carl Austin-Behan OBE. Carl spoke about everything ranging from his time in the RAF, being Manchester's first openly gay Lord Mayor, and the important work he does now, with the LGBT Foundation.Speaking on his time in the Royal Air Force, Carl said “they just sat me down and said ‘ do you have homosexual tendencies?' In that split second I had to make my decision, whether I was going to be true to myself and this was the moment where I could be, or I could lie.“I think If I'd said no, the Air Force would have been like ‘thank you very much, we just had to ask' but they asked again, and I burst into tears.”Carl also touched on the improvements that have been made in workplaces, since that time, saying that “Because of the way that a lot of organisations have moved on, I think they also realise that they've got to treat the LGBTQ community in their workforce, with respect. Also, we've now got things like LGBT History Month, which we never used to have, and everyone knows about.“It does frustrate me sometimes because, if you're a business or organisation that are bringing people in to do a talk – which is great, but it doesn't have to just be during LGBT History Month or Pride Month. For me, permanent visibility is permanent acceptance.”

Steve Denyer talks to former politician and social activist Carl Austin Behan OBE as he picks the tracks that mean the most to his LGBTQ+ journey.

They discuss the influence the depiction of black communities in film has had on racism globally and much more.

In today's second installment of their ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion' series, Maria and Michelle welcome Carl Austin back to the podcast to provide some input into responding to a particularly interesting ‘Dear REL Talk' question which they have received. Carl is a powerful and motivational speaker whose experience as a black male making a difference in the airline industry renders him the perfect expert in offering advice to the listener who wants to know how to start to make a change within their own organization.   Carl begins by responding to the ‘Dear REL Talk' question and sharing his own experiences within the airline industry in working toward change. Along the way, he and our hosts look at ways to engage in authentic conversations, the need for diversity in leadership positions, the definition and effects of white privilege, and how to deal with others who possess a closed mindset. Together, they also explore the impact of social media these days, the Black Lives Matter movement, the need to learn about others' perspectives through dialogue, making changes in the leadership of organizations, and the importance of respecting others. Carl concludes by asking some questions of the listener regarding the situation they describe in their question, demonstrating the very heart of today's episode by engaging in dialogue to gain greater understanding, and making the sincere effort to work together to improve the current situation – a masterful example for us all to follow.

I just have to try to understand it, and if I don't understand it, I just have to respect it.”   “I still respect you because you are a human.”   “They think that their internet world is the same as their real world.”   “Everyone in America looks like idiots…stop blaming other people and take some responsibility for yourself.”   “Silence is a stance.”   “Black Lives Matter is inclusive. It does mean all lives matter. It is for police lives, too.”   “It's about the misuse and mistrust of power.”   “Everybody is out there speaking in absolutes instead of just trying to understand each other.”   “I think it all starts with having conversations and asking ‘why'…and, like, seeing different perspectives.”   “If you really want to make change, you have to be a catalyst for it.” Show Links: REL Talent homepage:    https://www.reltalent.com/

How does Mr Gay UK become Manchester’s first openly gay Lord Mayor? From hot pants to regal robes, Carl Austin-Behan’s uniform has changed a lot over the years – but his values have always stayed the same.   In his own words: “You can be anything – and if someone sows a seed, let it grow”.   We Built This City is a series of conversations with some of the amazing Mancunians - born, bred or adopted – who put the heart into modern Manchester. A celebration of the human grit, determination and love found throughout the city, these episodes will lift you up, make you laugh and inspire you to leave our city in a better place. _ _ _ _ _   To lose his career, his home and his family, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Carl had done something terrible to warrant such pain. The truth of the matter however, is that he was just trying to live his true, authentic life. Carl’s story is one of bravery. From the heroic act of throwing himself into a burning plane to save his team member, to the more personal, daily acts of bravery that come with being a gay man (and yes, that does include wearing a pair of hot pants to walk up Deansgate!) In this podcast we discover proof that, no matter what you’re going through, things always get better. _ _ _ _ _   Your host, Lisa Morton, started PR company Roland Dransfield in 1996, one month after the fateful IRA bomb that tore apart the city centre. From that point, the business, and its team members, have been involved in helping to support the creation of Modern Manchester – across regeneration, business, charity, leisure and hospitality, sport and culture.    To celebrate the 24 years that Roland Dransfield has spent creating these bonds, Lisa is gathering together some of her Mancunian ‘family’ and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best city in the world.       Connect with Lisa and Roland Dransfield: Via Phone: 01612361122 Via their website (http://www.rdpr.co.uk/) On Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/roland_dransfield/) On Twitter (https://twitter.com/RDPRtweets)   On Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0YW3lVDOWrE0QZlV6XjEtF?si=nEuISHWcRfCF8l3kHKRNSw)     Connect with Carl: Via his website (http://www.vaclean.co.uk/) On Twitter (https://twitter.com/CarlAustinBehan) On Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/carlaustinbehan/)
