    • Business

Seattle based Dr Jen O'Ryan designs LGBTQ+ inclusion strategies for organisations. She also provides consulting services, ranging from employee training to managing large-scale organisational changes. Through years of research and advocacy, Jen specialises in making potentially “awkward” topics more accessible.   

Leveraging two decades of experience in change management and organisational behaviour, she understands the challenges leaders can face in developing a culture of inclusiveness for employees, clients, and consumers.

On this weeks episode, Gabby and Jen discuss



Why diversity and inclusion is not politics, it's human rights 
Why leaders and employees should be internalising the "why" to create truly inclusive cultures and therefore healthy workplaces
How employee feedback can improve inclusivity in the work environment 
How to manage and work to eliminate toxic work environments
Change management and leading - how to navigate people through organisational change
How organisations can introduce effective culture change with little to no budget/resources
What you can do today to influence change in your organisation (HINT: don't be a bystander)
The 30 day rule: what is the one thing you can do in the next 30 days to bring about positive change? 



Jen is the author of Inclusive AF: A Field Guide for Accidental Diversity Experts, designed for anyone thinking about Inclusion and Diversity in their business or organisation. It provides practical advice on safely and effectively leading culture change. Whether you are one person working with zero budget, or have funding and an enthusiastic team.
