In this episode of WonderWorkers, I’m talking to Louisa and Olajide, founders of SISU. Their story is amazing. They both had very hectic workplaces and personal experiences that drove them to work together and shape the future of young people, so that no one has to face the same discrimination they did.Olajide is now an Equality, Equity and Inclusion Disrupter, driving change. He believes that companies must represent the world they serve, especially now that businesses are shaping the world we live in and wants Inclusion to be a right, not a privilege for a select few, not to be tolerated as being different, but accepted and celebrated for being different.Louisa, on the other hand, is a true believer in the power of people and diverse teams, this is what brings out the best of an organization, ensuring they reach their highest performance and potential. Her belief is that Learning and Development resources should be base offerings within companies, and she’s an advocate for coaching and mentoring.For all those reasons, they both built SISU - Equality, Equity, Inclusion, and Wellbeing Consultancy. It was created to work closely and intricately with businesses, charities, and other groups to achieve thriving, healthy organizations and communities. Passion is at the heart of everything they do, Integrity runs through their DNA and courage is the backbone of who they are their authenticity and genuine passion for this work are incredibly inspiring.In this episode, we talk about:👉 Their personal stories👉 What it means to be yourself and why it’s important when doing EEI work👉 What we mean by doing EEI in the right way👉 The connection between EEI and mental health👉 What it means to advocate and truly transform EEI in the workplace👉 How do we look at this work from a growth mindset👉 What makes them hopeful about the future👉 Don’t forget to hit the follow button so you can get notified each time a new episode is out!To learn more about behind the scene of the podcast:https://www.instagram.com/theculturecabinet/To find out more about Louisa & Olajide:https://www.linkedin.com/in/louisa-davies-b82228187/https://www.linkedin.com/in/olajide-alabi-67713421/https://www.linkedin.com/company/sisu-equality-equity-inclusion-wellbeing/And to follow my adventure on a daily basis:https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurawarnod/ Hosted on Acast.
