What people say
“I thought I was aware of D&I which to an extent I was, but saying that It's given me a further layer to this understanding and also to myself and my own thought process, belief system and how I form opinions”.
“I've spent more time on my own development and have been able to incorporate external learning within this which in turn has meant I've been able to do the same with my team. It's also heightened my awareness around diversity and inclusion and led to me considering it in ways I wouldn't have previously”.
“I haven’t really given D&I as much thought in the past as I have since taking part in this programme. This has opened my eyes to experiences I have been through and made me think how I could change my behaviour towards others”.
