    Beyond the Diversity Checklist: Embedding True Inclusion in the Workplace

    Too often, companies approach diversity and inclusion as a box to check rather than a core value to embed throughout their organizations. In today’s episode of ‘Tech Talks’ we celebrate and observe Black History Month with a discussion; professionals from tech, law, and business analysis fields share their candid experiences navigating corporate spaces as underrepresented minorities.  David hands over the hosting duties to Harvey Nash’s Emmanuel Sackey, who leads the conversation as a member of the community. Together he and our guests highlight the pivotal role mentors played in their journeys and the importance of companies promoting diverse talent into true leadership roles. They also openly discuss the mental health toll of having to "code-switch" identities and repress authentic selves in professional settings.  The conversation provides a reality check that diversity isn't achieved through superficial initiatives like culture celebrations alone. True inclusion requires examining policies, language, supplier diversity and leadership makeup. Lasting change happens by creating environments where all feel empowered to show up fully as themselves. There is powerful advice about developing resilience, reframing rejection as "next opportunity", and getting comfortable with being uncomfortable on the path to progress. It’s an eye-opening listen for leaders committed to advancing meaningful inclusion as an organizational imperative.

    In this episode, we sit down with Harry, the community manager of the Zebu Live conference, to get an insider's perspective on the current state and future potential of Web3 technology.  Beyond the hype and speculation that has surrounded crypto and NFTs, Harry discusses the real-world use cases that are driving innovation in the Web3 space.
