Beyond the Backlash - Insights From Inclusion Leaders
Manage episode 489594722 series 3454149
Ever wondered what it really feels like to lead inclusion work when the world seems to be pushing back?
In this episode, I’m sharing what came up at our recent executive roundtable in London - no recording, just a closed-door, honest conversation between inclusion and HR leaders who are doing the work and feeling the weight of it.
From burnout and budget cuts to shifting language and peer support, this one’s a reflective unpacking of where we are, what’s changing, and what’s still possible.
Highlights:
(01:02) Beyoncé and brave leadership? Yes please
(04:11) Why Pride Month feels quieter this year
(10:23) The tension between external comms and internal culture
(17:52) Is DEI being quietly cut or rebranded?
(22:14) The emotional toll no one talks about
(29:08) Peer support isn’t a ‘nice to have’
