Is it cold in here? Maybe because there was no episode last week due to vacation, or maybe because this week we've got the Frostman himself, Digital Eclipse's Head of Production Stephen Frost! You might know Digital Eclipse for their in-depth collections of the Street Fighter and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games, or their interactive documentary Gold Master series. We discuss all of those and everything else Stephen has tackled and learned in his 20+ years in the industry. Music from Chosen Realm! LINKS:

Three things are true in diversity and inclusion.The first is that it makes both good business sense – diverse teams are more effective. Second, it's the right thing to do – people should have a place in organisations based on their capabilities.And thirdly, and perhaps more controversially, that working with more diverse groups of people is harder. There is a cognitive cost in working with people who are less like us.That's what my guest, Stephen Frost and I explore in today's episode of the podcast.Stephen is a globally recognised diversity, inclusion and leadership expert, and founded Included in 2012. He leads the team and works with leaders around the world to embed inclusive leadership in their decision-making.From 2007-2012 Stephen designed, led and implemented the inclusion programmes for the London Olympic and Paralympic Games as Head of D&I for the London Organising Committee. From 2004-2007 Stephen established and led the workplace team at Stonewall.Stephen has also led D&I at KPMG and worked in advertising and consulting.

Video game history has had a special place in my heart for quite some time. I've done a full episode on the topic with my Captain N co-host Dexter, I include history about all the games I cover in each episode and I interview people who write books on game history. It's a topic that I'm very passionate about. Joining me today on the show is Stephen Frost, who is the head of production at the game developer Digital Eclipse. Digital Eclipse is the studio responsible for the Atari 50 collection and more recently, The Making of Karateka and the Wizardry remake. This company is doing some of the most important work for game preservation and making it accessible to consumers and so I HAD to get someone from the company on the show to talk about it. Stephen was a wonderful guest and we have a great conversation about Digital Eclipse's work, his opinions on the game industry and so much more.

Tonight, we'll read the first part to the writing style guide “The Elements of Style”, written by William Strunk Jr. in 1918, published in 1920. Strunk was a professor at Cornell University and wrote the book for use at the university. He is best remembered for the version of this guidebook, enlarged in 1959 by his student, New Yorker writer E.B. White. Now in its fourth edition, it is the most frequently assigned book on college syllabuses, and continues to earn both praise and criticism over a century after its first publication.

"inclusion is about leadership - it is a verb not a noun.. "A great and fun conversation with Stephen about inclusion and accountability. How we can make it a natural part of the system : both in operations, decision making, leadership and culture ? How can senior leaders create the conditions for inclusive decision making to be the norm ? It all starts on the inside. Leaders must do their own inner work first to create psychological safety in their immediate bubbles, and there is patchy progress towards a more collective model but old habits die hard: we can grasp logical, intellectual, rational and commercial aspects but inclusion encompasses more emotional, unspoken aspects.Stephen shares his experience, research and insights on building sustainable inclusive workplaces from working with leaders and organisations across the globe. The main insights you'll get from this episode are : - Diversity is a reality (no two people are the same), whereas inclusion is a choice (to include diversity) and therefore not always comfortable - homophily is our natural tendency, but it doesn't help us solve problems or tackle challenges.- Inclusion is measured based on strategy, data, governance, leadership and systems against an accompanying maturity scale of diversity 1.0 (compliance), diversity 2.0 (looks good), inclusion 3.0 (embedding) and inclusion 4.0 (changing the system to be more inclusive).- Being truly inclusive – i.e. inclusion 4.0 – means feeling it in the culture of the organisation, witnessing it in behaviours, and having a low incidence of cognitive dissonance, e.g. by being employee-centric, offering choice, recalibrating systems and algorithms.- Inclusion is the verb to diversity's noun and is often difficult to enact in a hierarchy as there is less diversity towards the top - senior sponsorship must ensure checks and balances and transparency to make it tangible.- Diversity is not an HR subject, but a strategic topic, and decision-making processes must be more inclusive.- Leaders must start with themselves to prevent a credibility gap, create psychological safety, and motivate the team (intrinsically – e.g. self-worth, and extrinsically – e.g. remuneration).- Being vulnerable is a necessity and not as risky as it might appear but the system holds us back on this front: data inflow exceeds our cognitive capacity and so we must seek help from others.- There is patchy progress towards a more collective model but old habits die hard: we can grasp logical, intellectual, rational and commercial aspects but inclusion encompasses more emotional, unspoken aspects.- A ‘speak up' culture rewards questions and productive dissent and co-opting it enables evolution – often not intentionally but in response to a crisis - but ideally it should be intentional so as to integrate empathy, etc. into the education system as life skills.- Inclusion has a central role to play when it comes to competitive advantage and why should it not? The exclusion of cognitive diversity and personality types represents a deficit model as opposed to the value-added model of inclusion.- Maslow's hierarchy of needs confirms that inclusion matters, and major disruption or crises (e.g. COVID) make us more open to accepting this and having a more balanced life.- We need to...

Recognizing the importance of DEI is not a goal. It's one point on the critical path to true workplace inclusion. Advocates are now focused on how to solve the tough, complicated challenges that get in the way of making that a reality. This episode is packed with practical advice from a globally recognized diversity, inclusion and leadership expert. Stephen Frost is the Founder and CEO of Included, and his background includes serving as the Head of Diversity and Inclusion for the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games as well as the head of D&I at KPMG. He's taught Inclusive Leadership at Harvard Business School and advised the British Government, Royal Air Force and the White House. His latest book is called The Key to Inclusion: A Practical Guide to Diversity, Equity and Belonging for You, Your Team and Your Organization.

We look at this topical and timely book, which is edited by Stephen Frost, and, logically, has a wide and diverse collection of authors. You can see more about the book here. The Key to Inclusion: A Practical Guide to Diversity, Equity and Belonging for You, Your Team and Your Organisation, reviewed This book is naturally timely, especially as there is pushback against ‘woke' culture, especially by populist leaders, who often then use dogwhistle styled memes to tap into deeper, more racist and homophobic messages. Woke has come to be seen as weak, overly liberal, leftist leaning, invariably used by antidemocratic leaders, looking to whip up fear and mistrust to serve their own, invariably, self serving aims. In contrast this book, and its various authors is a positive illustration of the benefits of diversity, tolerance and empathy for others. While this planet is full of many, many (so might say too many) human, we are not from one race, tribe, culture, country or even continent. Therefore, in these unavoidably deeply interconnected and cross border dependence world, it makes sense to have smart strategies to get the most out of all of your workforce, your partners, clients and corporate relationships. Or rather, for those that do, there are massive benefits. For those that continue to tout anti diversity, racist, anti-woke perspectives, they will find themselves becoming increasingly less relevant and accepted by others, both at home and overseas. The succession of different authors has been handled well and is not too jarring as you cross from one chapter to the next. There are good deep dives into what inclusion actually means, and the best ways to try and achieve it, and continue to see it happening. As one chapter articulates, we have gone from simply trying to work with other people, to trying to work like other people, to meet them on their terms and to therefore garner the benefits of how others think and work. This book works well, is thoughtful, well laid out, and gets beyond just sloganeering to breaking down into bite sized chunks what actions you could be taking to help tackle these issues well and with an impact. While others may deride woke culture and tendencies, many of these voices are invariably white male octogenarians, which does suggest that the loudest voices may not be the longest or most reflective of where the world is heading. More about the book Recognising the importance of diversity, belonging and equity is not enough. This book has the practical guidance needed to think differently and make true inclusion a reality. Edited by Stephen Frost, a leading voice in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) space, this book is a must-have for all those who know that achieving inclusion at work is important but don't know where to start. It covers how to be more inclusive as an individual by changing your mindset and building your cultural intelligence. As well as how to develop more inclusive teams by adapting management practice and environments whatever the size or structure of your business. The Key to Inclusion also provides tools, strategies and advice on inclusion at an organizational level through inclusive strategy, leadership, governance, data, systems and processes. Supported by real-world examples, interviews and case studies from BBC, the UK National Health Service (NHS), AstraZeneca and LinkedIn, this book looks beyond inclusion in the present to examine inclusion in the future and particularly in tech, financial services and TV. With chapters from a diverse group of expert voices, this book is crucial reading for all HR professionals and business leaders who are looking to deliver true inclusion as individuals, in their teams, in their organizations and communities. The Key to Inclusion: A Practical Guide to Diversity, Equity and Belonging for You, Your Team and Your Organization, edited by Stephen Frost is published 3rd July 2022 by Kogan Page, priced £29,99 See more reviews here.

A corporate culture is only as safe as its least safe leader As Sam Mather ascended the leadership ladder in her 20 year L&D career, she realised that work was not working. Taking the opportunity to pursue a PhD in Organisational Psychology, researching psychological safety and resilience in the workplace, Sam gained a deep understanding of how leadership and culture impacts performance but also where personal responsibility has a role to play. In pursuit of peak performance, Sam advocates for brain fitness, being selective with our attention and safeguarding our finite mental resources. Why you should listen: Wellbeing doesn't replace leadership Encourage brain fitness through your leadership choices We explore ditching leadership buzzwords Communicating safety is a leadership responsibility Embracing servant leadership to boost safety Creating a corporate culture around storytelling

In this week's parshah, Korach leads a rebellion against Moses and Aaron. Korach argues that Moses has taken on too much power and challenges his leadership. Drawing from the book Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When the Stakes are High, TBE member Tiffany Washington explains what we can learn from Korach's failure to prepare for his conversation with Moses and provides tips for creating and maintaining healthy dialogues even when emotions run high.

Groupthink can cause a society to wilt and wither away, and without having our individual voices within a group, communities become stagnant and the talents and traits gifted to us are stifled, especially when it comes to standing up for the oppressed. In this message (recorded at TBE's Shabbat morning service on June 5, 2021), TBE member LeAnne Whitlow explains that, while wandering in the wilderness, God commands the Israelites to stand up for the oppressed because we also were "once strangers in a foreign land.” So why do we seem to have lost our unique voices and our acceptance of diversity? The simple answer is fear and lack of faith.

Birkat Kohanim, or the Priestly Blessing, is the oldest known text in the Bible.

The festival of Shavuot commemorates the giving of the 10 Commandments at Mt. Sinai — the building blocks for living an ethical life and building a just society. In honor of the holiday, State Sen. Jennifer McClellan joined Rabbi Michael Knopf for a conversation about the connections between the 10 Commandments, Sen. McClellan's work, and the values that drive her. Together, they explore issues such as racial justice, labor justice, criminal justice reform/mass incarceration/solitary confinement, affordable housing, gun violence, and the rise of white supremacist violence.

A Torah portion about a census? Riveting stuff, right? We are familiar with census taking, for both the good of managing resources and community programs, as well as for excluding or retaliating against populations. But a census can tell a deeper story than a simple count of a population. Homeless services rely on Point In Time counts, but the number tells a larger story of school performance, history of redlining, and even voting access. TBE member Emily Jasper explains that in order to truly practice Tikkun Olam, we must know our community through the numbers.

In parshat Behukotai, God makes two sets of promises to the Israelites: A series of “blessings” if they follow God's commandments, and a series of “curses” if they don't. Is one of these motivations nobler than the other? Why is it that sometimes, even when we follow God's commandments, evil things still happen - and what is the relationship between evil and free will? TBE member Rachel Ringgold offers her perspective!
