Reflecting on Season 5, host Mike Horne revisits three core themes that shaped the season's narrative: diversity and inclusion, effective communication and conflict resolution, and personal and professional development. He handpicks listener's favorite episodes within each theme, spotlighting their unique contributions to the leadership discourse. Under diversity and inclusion, Mike underscores the critical need for a sense of belonging in the workplace. He points to episodes 110 and 111 as key discussions highlight the need for organizations to foster environments that value diverse perspectives and backgrounds and to identify and address systemic discrimination, which are critical considerations for everyone in our audience and for all of the leaders in HR. The focus then shifts to effective communication and conflict resolution. Episodes such as 103 and 106 are highlighted for their practical approaches to managing conflicts and enhancing communication, essential for a harmonious workplace. In discussing personal and professional development, Mike draws attention to episodes like 104, 108 and 109. These segments delve into self-improvement, goal achievement, and aligning personal growth with career advancement, offering listeners actionable strategies for their developmental journey. Mike wraps up the episode with a call to action for listeners to apply the strategies discussed and to view authentic leadership as an ongoing process of learning, introspection, and adaptation. He emphasizes the need to challenge established norms, foster inclusive environments, and prioritize continuous personal and professional development. This episode not only encapsulates the rich insights of Season 5 but also serves as an invaluable guide for leaders and coaches seeking to deepen their understanding and practice of authentic leadership and personal growth.

From humble beginnings to becoming a prominent figure in the legal landscape.This week we're super excited to be chatting with Nicole Williams,  a Counsel in the Investment Funds and Debt Capital Markets and the Global Co-Head of Inclusion, Diversity and Belonging at Ashurst. She is an advocate of change and a driving force behind reshaping the future of law. Nicole introduces the concept of gamified testing, a revolutionary approach that assesses candidates' emotional intelligence, skill sets, and values. By utilizing this method, Nicole aims to eliminate doubts about whether a candidate is the right fit and instead relies on evidence to make informed decisions.Nicole's journey and wisdom will inspire you to navigate the legal landscape with resilience, openness, and a commitment to positive change. 

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness [as you/U define it] is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."

I am delighted to share this imperfectly perfect conversation with Jan Frolic and Jennifer Johnson who are co-founders of Captains and Poets. Together we discussed the groundbreaking Kindergarten – Grade 12 Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that students will take with them their entire lives. The premise of the program is that there is a unique Captain and Poet in each of us that, in partnership, enable us to be our best selves. When kids learn about their inner Captain and Poet they have immediate access to their emotions, their unique gifts and perspectives, and the complexities of what makes them human. They become more resilient, learn how to draw on their innate strengths, and to nurture a positive mindset. By inspiring connection to self and others, we encourage a healthier sense of well-being and identity, more positive relationships, and greater agency and purpose in the world. In short - Captains & Poets is where well-being meets inclusion and belonging! I am sure you will enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

While CEOs obviously have deep knowledge in their field of expertise, we may not realize that, especially in the C-suite, work gets done through relationships. It might surprise you that C-suite peer groups spend a lot more time discussing their personal perspectives than their professional perspectives. In this Real Conversation from the C-suite, we'll be exploring how important it is for executives to engage in discussions about Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging from a personal perspective as well.Visit us hereWeb - https://www.doctoranita.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTube

One of Dr. Anita's favorite quotes is by Andy Stanley: “Leadership is all about taking people on a journey. The challenges is that most of the time, we are asking people to follow us to places we ourselves have never been.” The heart of today's Real Conversation from the C-suite is to explore how leaders are meeting the challenge of being intentional about understanding Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging from a personal perspective.Visit us hereWeb - https://www.doctoranita.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTube

We often talk about the power of peer mentoring and peer coaching, but it's more than just a notion. It's a powerful process for reflection and growth. At each level of the organizational system-of-systems, critical insights can be shared simply by having a conversation. Especially for members of the C-suite, the power of peers can be most effective for exploring different conversations like Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging. This is our first Real Conversation from the C-suite.LinksWeb - https://www.doctoranita.com/podcast-1LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-ipec-cpc-77695b/

Business development is the lifeblood of any organisation. It is in many ways about building connections and capitalising on that as well as finding new ways to expand your product or service offering to existing customers. However, with sales being something many people find challenging or even off-putting what does the gold standard of great BD require? To find out, I am speaking to Victoria Butt, who I met around 2013 in a networking group – the perfect BD environment perhaps. Victoria is the Founder and Executive Search Consultant of Parity Consulting, serial entrepreneur, Founder and Chief Training Officer at Evolve Sales Training, Board Member for Entrepreneurs Organisation Sydney and Angel Investor for BIPOC women.  In 2021, BIPOC angels was created, an angel investment fund exclusively working with and supporting females who are Black, Indigenous, People of Colour. A decade ago she founded Parity Consulting, a recruitment organisation specialising in placing diverse and capable talent in Product, Pricing, Digital, Marketing and Data Analytics. Parity was founded to reshape how the industry saw candidates and lift them to be equal to the client. In 2017, she joined Entrepreneurs Organisation in Sydney and lead the first Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiative the organisation had seen in the APAC region, and now sits on the Sydney Board for member success. In 2020 at the height of COVID-19, Victoria set up Evolve Sales Training, an online sales training platform specifically for Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses. Based on long term sales mentoring, this B2B platform provides processes, accountability and frameworks for busy entrepreneurs and sales professionals to drive sustainable higher revenue. A mother of two young children, wife, blogger, and self-confesses wine snob, Victoria is passionate about anything to do with DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging). Let's discuss the Politics of Business Development. Questions that Victoria canvasses include: As someone in executive search, I imagine business development has been a key part of your career and business life. Give us a snapshot of how you approach BD? Great products and services don't always mean money spinners. My career is in PR and strategic comms and I am always amazed when businesses focus on the shiny stuff like fancy content or social media images on say Instagram and then find that alone won't convert to sales. What is the secret sauce you see missing in many business's sales training practices? More than 40% of actual salespeople say prospecting is the most challenging part of the sales process, followed by closing (36%) and qualifying (22%). How can BD be done organically and authentically – many people who love their business still find “sales” approaches challenging? Is there a tried-and-true way to create a funnel or sales or similar that lands with the right target audience more and converts to sales faster? What role does automatic and tech play in business development and ultimately sales? Can you share an example or two?   CONTACT INFO: LinkedIn: (15) Victoria Butt | LinkedIn W: (15) Parity Consulting: Overview | LinkedIn and Evolve Sales Training – Evolve Sales Training If you are a podcaster who wants to record quality sound with ease, sign up to Zencastr Professional account today for 30% discount.

Producing a podcast is more than just having a series of conversations. It's fun, but it's work. And lately, I'm reflecting on the purpose of my podcast. For April and May, while I am taking a short creative hiatus, I'm going to release a series of questions and answers about my purpose as a consultant in the Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging space, of which my podcast is intended to be an extension. Those messages will “drip” every Saturday on LinkedIn until June. I'm not sure what my podcast format will look like when I return. But, it will be a new season in more ways than one.

Chess helps integrate DIB strategy into the company's framework and enables different teams to participate in equity and social justice on a global scale.Tune in to learn Chess' thoughts on measuring diversity, inclusion and belonging initiatives, impact versus intent, holding space for uncomfortable conversations, and more!About AllVoicesIn today's workforce, people often don't feel empowered to speak up and voice their opinions about workplace issues, including harassment, bias, and other culture issues. This prevents company leadership from making necessary changes, and prevents people from feeling fulfilled, recognized, and included at work. At AllVoices, we want to change that by providing a completely safe, anonymous way for people to report issues directly to company leaders. This allows company leadership real transparency into what's happening in their companies—and the motivation to address issues quickly. Our goal is to help create safer, more inclusive companies.

We have a broad definition of diversity, embracing the differences among people, including gender, age, ethnicity, abilities, sexual orientation, affectional orientation and personality, as well as education, work experience, skills, language, geography, communication style, and belief.But there is much to diversity, says Kjersti Midthun Næss, People & Organizational Development Specialist in Hydro: “There's this famous quote, ‘Diversity is having a seat at the table. Inclusion is having a voice. Belonging is having that voice be heard.' Our target is to have all voices heard in Hydro – not only to create equal opportunities, but because different voices represent different perspectives – perspectives we depend on to meet our business challenges.” Næss is joined by Loveleen Brenna of Seema, an independent consultancy in Oslo providing guidance on diversity leadership, and Jan Helge Mårdalen, who is Head of Operations & Development in Hydro's Energy business in Norway. In this Hydro Talks podcast, they explore Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging, what it means for employees – and not least, potential employees looking for an inclusive workplace – and for business.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) work from a global perspective requires cultural translation, that is respecting cultural differences while acknowledging the unique way systems of oppression disguise themselves in different cultures.

Our goal this month was to take the scariness out of Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging conversations. Today's episode will be exploring the scariness we attached to initial inclusion conversations. Once we become comfortable with talking about inclusion, we can create opportunities to receive feedback, which can also be scary. Feedback is crucial to help us develop skills that make inclusion conversations easier to start and learn from as individuals, leaders, and organizations.Visit for more!https://www.doctoranita.com/podcast-1

Episode Summary: In this episode of Support is Sexy, Elayne Fluker invites Amber Aziza, Founder and CEO of AAE Corporation which helps companies adjust to the new normal by transforming their workforce into “engaged, happy, and productive teams”, that are in concordance with the companies' culture and values. Amber talks about how in the new times, where marginalized groups are becoming more visible, companies have to respond to this change not by bringing a void of support that is merely for the company image, but by making their workforce and company values more inclusive. Amber tells us how her corporation helps other companies stand for what they believe is right, and how this change in the company's culture helps create a workforce that cares genuinely for their work. About our Guest Amber Aziza, Founder and CEO of AAE Corporation, which houses multiple subsidiaries, has made it her life's work to provide innovative organizations with expert solutions. After over 10 years, Amber had graced the teams of AIM Healthcare, OptumInsight, Advance Financial, and more. She left the corporate arena to begin her own business, The AG, a firm dedicated to bridging the gap between Millennials and the corporate workspace. After selling The AG's book of business, Amber began building Amber Aziza Enterprises, a conglomerate of companies dedicated to help small business owners and venture capitalists. It wasn't long before she missed the excitement of the “people side of business” and shifted her focus back to transforming workforces, changing Amber Aziza Enterprises' name to AAE Corporation.  Insights from this Episode What is the new normal nowadays?
