Consultancy is still often seen as pale, male and stale. This episode is your wake-up call.

Gillian Jones-Williams is the founder of Emerge, a coaching and training consultancy specialising in leadership, women’s development and DEI. She’s seen it all: mishandled harassment cases, performative panel invites, surface-level “initiatives” that change nothing - and cultures that quietly exclude.

In this powerful and practical episode, she shares:

• Why inclusion must be built into every part of your business - not bolted on
• How to design meaningful diversity strategies, not tick-box efforts
• What male allyship actually looks like (and why “not being part of the problem” isn’t enough)
• How unconscious bias and outdated hiring still hold women and neurodiverse talent back
• Why psychological safety is the key to performance - and how most companies fail at it
• And the truth about what makes or breaks inclusive cultures

For any consultancy leader who wants to build a high-performing, future-ready business - this isn’t a nice-to-have conversation. It’s a non-negotiable.

Tune in. Listen up. And rethink what kind of culture you’re really building.
