How to Reimagine Inclusion

SPARKED

We all want to work in places where everyone feels included, valued, embraced, and maybe even celebrated. But, what if good intentions aren't enough to build a truly inclusive culture?

We know equity and belonging matter, but systems and people, all too often, seem stuck in paradigms that exclude and, often, cause harm. So how do we implement real change? This episode tackles some of the big inclusion myths that prevent real change - and reveals what it takes to progress.

And, today, we’re joined by special guest, Mita Mallick, sharing insights and practical steps we can take to tackle inclusion in a more effective way.

In today’s episode we’re digging into:

• How do we move from magical thinking to courageous action?
• What will it take to shift from bystanders to allies?
• Can we lead what we don't understand?
• And what will it take to replace trauma tourism with actual empowerment?
• Discover everyday allyship, the business imperative for equity, and how to transform your intent into impact.
• Paradigm shifts to challenge assumptions - and practical steps to inspire you.

And we’re in conversation with:
