Wavelength Connect
"We hosted a company-wide session with Catherine Garrod. Her book Conscious Inclusion: How to 'do' EDI one decision at a time' is highly recommended and, after listening to Catherine speak, I can understand why. As she put it herself: "Unless you're consciously including people, you're almost certainly unconsciously excluding people", which is a powerful reminder."
