IWD 2025: USE YOUR DEI LENS AT YOUR MEETINGS

Have you ever been the person left out of the room? The one whose invitation got "accidentally" missed? Most leaders haven't truly felt exclusion—and that's precisely the problem.?

Inclusion isn't about ticking the right boxes. It's about dismantling those invisible barriers like excluding people from meetings and off-sites.?

As experienced Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion leader Mita Mallick will share in our interview for International Women’s Day, becoming an inclusive leader means:?

• Deliberately examining who's missing from your meetings?

• Understanding that meeting invites are powerful tools of belonging?

• Recognising that your power as a leader creates responsibility?

REFLECT:??

Before your next team gathering, ask yourself:?

· Who isn't in the room that should be??

· Whose perspective might fundamentally change our conversation??

· Are we creating psychological safety or subtle exclusion??

TAKE ACTION:??

Join our 45-minute book club interview with Mita Mallick, author of “Reimagine Inclusion,” on 12 March 2025, where she'll discuss the state of DEI in today’s world and our role in its future.?

BE INSPIRED:??

Inclusion isn't a destination. It's a continuous journey of small, meaningful acts that make people feel seen, valued, and powerful. – Mita Mallick?
