Want to embrace diversity in your business? Here’s how inclusive storytelling can help – Podcast 22
Learn why it’s so important for organisations of every size to have a more inclusive approach to corporate storytelling.
In today’s podcast, I’m delighted to introduce you to Jackie Handy, one of the UK’s most prominent speakers and trainers on diversity and inclusion, about the role stories can play in creating a culture that welcomes, leverages and embraces the power and potential of greater inclusion in the workplace (which, in turn, creates conditions that encourage more creativity and shared meaning for all in any organisation)
