Milestone Reflections From 350 Episodes of Inclusive Insights

We hit a huge milestone this week! 350 episodes of the Element of Inclusion.

Before we get to that.

Here are 3 popular posts from the last week:

I never used to “fit in” during my PhD.

You know why?

My honest advice for every People Leader

(after interviewing 230 of you in 2 years)

How everyone thinks you should talk about Diversity.

Share this with one of your colleagues who needs to know this.

PS.

I write here every single day.

Make sure you follow me for daily insights and inspiration.

Yesterday We Hosted The Authority Series.

Our guest was author Megan Gerhardt, Ph.D. who spoke about her book Gentelligence.

Dr Megan shared a lot of practical insights including:

- How to check your mindset in an intergenerational workplace.

- A step by step process to effectively lead people from other generations

- Why "Boomers" is not a globally relevant term.

Make sure you check out our LinkedIn Live.

Check it out here.

Also

Dr Megan offered a detailed exercise to help you operate more effectively in an intergenerational workplace.

This is not available anywhere else.

This is a limited offer.

When they're gone.

They're gone.

Message me "Gentelligence" and we'll take it from there.

This week is episode 350 of the show.

I’ve decided to run some numbers past you.?

These numbers are important to me.?

They explain how I support you.

I also want your advice about some resources I’m creating.?

I talk about all of this in more detail in the show

Let’s talk about the number 7

7 years of podcasting.

350 episodes.?

That’s 350 weeks of showing up to help you on your inclusion journey.

90% of podcasts don’t get past episode 3.

Of the ones that do.

90% don’t get past episode 20.

This means having more than 21 episodes places you in the top 1% of podcasts in the world ever.?

(I’ve struggled to find a definitive source for this claim)

I’m hoping you indulge me on this special occasion.?

Let’s talk about the number 5

We have 5 types of show?

- Research Breakdowns?

I take research and explain how and why it can be useful for you.?

- Jargon Explainers?

This is where we make sense of words that get thrown around a lot.?

- Expert Interviews?

We went years without interviewing anyone on the show.?

Currently, the only people we interview are authors of books I’ve already read.

- Critical Insights?

I share what I know from my client work.?

I share what I know from my experiences.?

I share what people tell me.?

- Book Reviews?

I review books from people in the field.

Or books that have helped me personally.

Some I make into 60 Second Book reviews.

There are about 75+ here.?

This is a key part of my Evidence Based Inclusion practice.

Let’s talk about the number 166?

Our audience comes from 166 different countries.?

Depending on who you speak to.

There are 195 countries?in the world today.?

193 are member states of the United Nations.

Only 2 are not.?

- The Holy See?

- The State of Palestine

Our audience represents 85% of all the countries in the world.?

- Albania to Zambia.?

- Venezuela to Uzbekistan?

- Saint Vincent to Senegal

And there was an “other” category.

So maybe we’ve reached every country in the world.?

I can’t prove it... yet.

I’ll let you know when I can.?

Let’s talk about the number 15

15 minutes is the average length of the show.

I think it’s shorter for reasons I discuss on the show.

My goal is always to give you a high return for your time and attention.?

Last week I had a massive compliment from a member of our audience.

I won’t say his name but he’s based in Western Asia.

He paid for an organisation to deliver training where he worked.?

He said our podcast goes into more depth than the training he paid for.?

I want our free stuff to be better than other people’s paid stuff.?

He’s telling me that it is.?

Let’s talk about the number 1?

I say it every week but in case you’ve missed it.?

I’m on a mission to help a million people like you to make your workplace inclusive.

1 million people.?

1 million is a ridiculous number.?

But that’s why I keep showing up.?

People laugh at me when I say this.?

But I actually believe it.?

I actually think I’m going to achieve it.?

It’s all about helping you on your Inclusion Journey.?

We think of Inclusion as a systematic business strategy to ensure everyone shares the same advantages and benefit.

This means:?

- Everyone can perform

- Everyone can belong

- Everyone can reach their potential.?

We think of Evidence Based Inclusion as the path to getting there.?

This means gathering evidence from 4 key sources?

- The scientific literature

- The organisation?

- Stakeholders?

- Professional Experience

This is what we do with our clients.?

I encourage you do to the same where you work.

We're making this a reality

In the last year we created a program to help leaders like you to make measurable inclusion progress in 90 days.

If you’re not making progress with inclusion where you work.

There’s 3 reasons you need to urgently consider:

1 You have no buy in from leadership?

↘?This means no engagement?

Solve this by earning trust as a credible advisor.?

We do that in the program.

2 You have ambiguous activities with no impactful results

↘?This means no one cares about what you’re doing

Solve this by optimising for relevant measurable outcomes.

We do that in the program.?

3 You rely on generic practices with no longevity

↘?This means your work is not sustainable

Solve this by introducing a systematic process.

We do that in the program.?

Doing this means you make measurable inclusion progress.?

- Your competence will be recognised. ?

- Your results will be clear to everyone.?

- Your credibility will skyrocket.?

I’m currently working with 4 organisations to do this.?

We work closely every single week.?

We’ve got an amazing case study where we transformed the reputation and the impact of the HR department.?They have increased the total addressable market of the business and saved hundreds of thousands from the bottom line.?

I’ll share more about this and others in the future.?

We’ve got space for one more organisation.

If you want measurable results in 90 days.?

Message me “90 Day Program” today and we can discuss working together.?

I need your help.

I want to address an inconvenient truth.?

I recognise that you may not have the resources to work with me directly.?

We’re not a cheap option.?

That’s why I put so much into:?

- Podcasts?

- Book Clubs?

- Daily Writing?

- LinkedIn Lives

- 60 Second Book Reviews.?

These are all available for free.?

But I’m creating something that is more cost effective than working with me directly.?

Frankly, I need your help to finalise the form it will take.?

Workshop/Course/Mini Program... something else?

I need you to help me to help you.

I want to speak with you if:?

You have been positively influenced by my work.?

Your thinking has changed because of my work.?

Your behaviour has changed because of my work.

You work in an organisation that wants to make?measurable progress in inclusion.?

You are willing and able to take an active role in making this happen.

If this sounds like you.?

Please message me “Evidence Based Inclusion” today.

We’ll find time to connect 1 : 1.?

I'm working on something to get you the results you want.

Message me if you need this at work.

I want to thank you for your support over the last 350 episodes.

I'll continue to work to earn your trust over the next 350!

If you have any questions or ideas.

Message me directly.

Have you shared this with a colleague yet?

Think about who needs to know this.

They need a friend like you.

As always

I’m cheering you on.

Dr. Jonathan
