Episode Synopsis

#EP3  “Black speakers are not just for Black History Month”
Welcome to this series of bitesized episodes in collaboration with the Diverse Speaker Bureau, where in honour of BHM we showcase some of our amazing Black speakers.
We advocate that Black speakers should not just be wheeled out for Black History Month to talk about diversity and inclusion, racism or Black history, but that Black voices should be heard equally and that equity should be a year round mission.
If we are serious about delivering equity, we need to give real opportunities to Black speakers, pay them properly, and truly demonstrate representation across the board, all the time.

In this episode we talk:

A different way of working - how does spirituality and human energy work in business?
The Patagonia effect - how will values and culture outstrip strategic operations ?
Did the African indigenous society have it right - what we can learn from their ways of working? 


How to work with Black speakers for BHM and beyond 

Don’t wait to book (HINT:October is too late)
Why you need to put budget and resource behind celebrating BHM right 
Why it's important to have a BHM objective
How to engage in the process 
Why you should share company data and information with your Black speakers (infact, with all your speakers)
Why this should be a year round conversation 
Why you need to build a roster of diverse speakers
