S2 Ep5: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion – learning and working for better with Ashanti Bentil-Dhue

In January, I took down our website in response to comments about our partner coaches not being diverse enough to be relevant or to reflect the community that Careering into Motherhood serves.People were absolutely correct and I had made a mistake, for which I am very sorry and I openly admit and talk about on this episode of the podcast.Over the last few weeks I have learnt so much, spoken to so many people all over the world, and as a result it has re-shaped my business. One of the amazing people I spoke to was Ashanti Bentil-Dhue who joins me on this episode of the podcast. Ashanti is the Founder of Good Soil Leaders, a Diversity, an Equity & Inclusion (D,E&I) consultancy. Good Soil Leaders works with businesses going through the kind of journey that I am going through, Ashanti herself talks a lot about contextualising the situation right now and being “learner-ready.”For Careering into Motherhood this episode marks the start of our journey, it will continue, and will probably never end. When we open our doors once again it will not signify that the job is done, but rather that we continue to grow and learn more about the area of D,E&I as a business and as a community of mothers.You can find out more about working with Ashanti and Good Soil Leaders here You can listen to Ashanti's podcast Confessions of a D,E&I Practitioner here You can join the Careering into Motherhood community here And watch this space for when we open our doors again to provide women with free coaching tools and expertise on our website.
