Hima Vaghani: Tapping the power of diversity‪!‬ The Human Revolutionaries Show - HR, Leadership, Well-Being and Culture stories in the news

    • Management

Hi and welcome to the last show of Season 2 of The Human Revolutionaries Show!

I'm taking a break over the summer and lining up some amazing new interviews for Season 3.
But we're going out with a bang.

Hima Vaghani is a thought leader and expert in leadership and DEI. She has had an international career spanning almost 30 years predominantly focused on advising organisations around the world on how they can create the conditions for their people to thrive and perform to the best of their abilities.

Hima runs her own consultancy firm providing leadership and DEI consulting services and has a recently co-founded The Careers Company which helps individuals and organisations engage in careers conversations. Her specialist topic is inclusive leadership and cultures and how we need to go beyond the tactical initiatives around DEI to really tap in to the business benefits of diversity.

Sometimes we lose sight of why we are trying to encourage diversity in organisations. We make it about the numbers...but in this conversation, Hima and I talk about how to get diversity that supports innovation and business success.

We cover -
* The diversity lens on the Great Resignation
* The various life stages of women (and men) and whether companies are adapting to more than just the child-bearing years
* Choosing between the professional career you WANT versus the career you feel OBLIGED to pursue.
* Unconscious bias training
* Hima's decision to 'go it alone' with her own business after corporate life
* Her inheritance lessons!

You can connect with Hima on LinkedIn

And you can connect with me of course!

If you haven't yet listened to the other shows in this series of the podcast, please feel free to go back through the archive! There are some amazing discussions and some really practical ideas for you to take away. 

If you'd like to recommend a guest for Season 3, please drop me a line blaire@thatpeoplething.com 

And do tell your colleagues and friends about the show too!
