In this inspiring conversation, Toon, a manager at Deloitte and the head of Proud (Deloitte’s LGBT+ network), explores the foundations of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI):

• Diversity: Recognizing who is represented, including visible and less visible differences.

• Equity: Addressing unequal starting points to create fair treatment for all.

• Inclusion: Ensuring everyone feels safe, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Raising awareness is important, but it’s only the beginning. You need to follow-up with engagement, not just well-meaning words.

How you can make a difference in DEI:

💬 Spark the conversation: ask about your organization’s DEI policies and find out who’s leading them.

🚀 Step up: learn from how other companies approach inclusivity. Tap into networks, share ideas, and collaborate.

📈 Build a case: clearly communicate why a DEI initiative matters and how it can drive positive change within your environment.

This podcast offers valuable tools and inspiration to take real steps toward inclusive leadership. Whether you're still studying or already in the workplace, you can help build a more equitable and supportive space for everyone.
