Confessions of a DEI Pro

In this episode, Ashanti Bentil - Dhue talks to Gemma Stow about her company No More Hiding Ltd partners helps organisations to build inclusive cultures that identify, develop and retain female talent and encourage senior level progression to close the gender gap. This is through consultation, training and coaching.

“ Understanding the lens in which you see the world, describing this as your map, and then looking at ways that you can go beyond that within the work that you do ”

Episode Highlights:

  • Learning about the importance of being resilient, implementing self-development, and looking after yourself.
  • How certain skills that you develop and nurture over time can help with being a DEI professional.
  • What DEI professionals can learn about finding a balance between having the rigour that the work requires and having a personal life.

About Gemma Stow:

Gemma Stow specialises in the importance of visibility when it comes to women’s career progression and helps ambitious women have the confidence to promote themselves in a positive and constructive way so that they own and showcase their expertise. This allows them the space to see what is really holding them back and breakthrough their own ceiling and limitations, realise their potential, take responsibility and act on it.

She also supports male leaders and the wider organisation so that they can be better allies with the appropriate processes and procedures in place that support greater gender equity in the workplace. Host of the ‘No More Hiding: Self Promotion at Work’ podcast.

51. What DEI Pros can Learn from Greys Anatomy

In this episode, Ashanti Bentil-Dhue will be sharing what she learnt whilst watching a particular episode of Grey’s Anatomy and what she thinks DEI professionals can learn and take away from watching Grey's Anatomy.

“The human experience is always evolving and changing. The workforce of today is not the workforce of five years ago or even ten years ago, so we cannot make assumptions about who people are, and why they behave in the way they do. Every time we go into a new workplace, we can't make assumptions and rely on the way we have done things five, ten or even fifteen times over a course of years. We have to always be aware of ego because sometimes ego and overconfidence can mean that we make mistakes. It can mean that we miss something important; it can mean that we miss label, miss judge, miss assess a situation or a person, and that can have implications on the work that we're doing in the workplace ”

53. What You Need to Know About Budgeting for Inclusion Training

In this episode, Ashanti Bentil-Dhue wants to specifically talk about something that is coming up time and time again within the world of DEI, budgets related to inclusion training.

“Organisations who may be looking at inclusion training, and if you've ever wondered why it costs, what it costs, or you've wondered why you've seen very little results from the training that you have procured so far, these are just some of the elements to be aware of that might help you make different decisions when you're pulling together your training budget.”
