32 - Simon Fanshawe OBE - Diverty and Inclusion, Stonewall, Comedian, Rector Edinburgh University

If you would like real insight into Diversity Inclusion and Equity and how it plays out in the workplace and elsewhere, this is for you. Alongsider meets a gentle man of great diversity, meaning someone who is interested and interesting. A stand up comedian, campaigner for fairness, University Rector and much more. He is also really great company - meet Simon Fanshawe OBE. He speaks of his upbringing in an upper middle class family, with a father in the armed services and a mother who remained on close terms for life with those ladies who helped with the domestic chores. So Simon is someone of goodwill and who values good connection. He speaks to the corporate world about the value of diversity and what is missed when we don't intentionally include. As a founder of Stonewall, we hear of their real mission and how it was accomplished in a most spectacular way. This is so relevant for our times and shared with great joy and glee. I commend this conversation to you.
