Conscious Inclusion...with Catherine Garrod

Unless you’re consciously including people, you’re almost certainly unconsciously excluding people ~ Catherine Garrod

‘I’m here to get it right, not be right’ ~ Brené Brown

On this episode of the Organisational Inclusionist, Grace Mosuro is joined by Catherine Garrod. To discuss Conscious Inclusion and her book of the same title.

Catherine Garrod is the author of Conscious Inclusion: How to ‘do’ EDI one decision at time and founder of Compelling Culture. She works with organisations to determine whether people from underrepresented groups are having the same good experience as people from overrepresented groups. Then defines specific actions to boost the experience for colleagues, customers and communities.

Rather than top-down change initiatives involving huge teams, Catherine advocates for combining skill and will to guide people in their everyday thinking. Because unless you're consciously including people, you're almost certainly unconsciously excluding people.

Previously, Catherine led Sky to become the Most Inclusive Employer in the UK, with 80% of teams increasing their diversity. Now as a consultant she combines the power of listening, employee engagement, diversity and inclusion, to make the complex simple - by absorbing an organisation's purpose and providing practical actions that can be implemented today, tomorrow and the day after.
