Episode 12: Conscious Inclusion: How to ‘do’ EDI one decision at time

For curious business leaders

In this podcast we hear from Catherine Garrod, former Head of Inclusion at Sky, founder of Compelling Culture and author of Conscious Inclusion: How to ‘do’ EDI one decision at time.

Catherine is a leading expert in culture change and how you can combine the power of employee engagement, communications, diversity and inclusion. She is the former Head of Inclusion at Sky and during her tenure led the organisation to be the most inclusive employer with 80% of teams increasing diversity both on and off screen.

Catherine shares why conscious inclusion is so important.

Rather than top-down change initiatives involving huge teams, Catherine advocates for combining skill and will to guide people in their everyday thinking. When every voice is heard, every person is empowered and everybody takes action, the outcomes are extraordinary.​

Conscious Inclusion

Catherine lives by this quote “Unless you’re consciously including people, you’re almost certainly unconsciously excluding people.” She believes when employees can be themselves and influence how things are done, their lives are better, they’re more creative and better problem solvers. And when consumers are authentically represented in media, products and services, organisations and the communities they serve thrive.
