Diversity & Inclusion

To celebrate Black History Month here in the UK, we welcome Dr Christyl Johnson, Deputy Center Director for Technology and Research Investments at the Goddard Space Flight Center (NASA), to the podcast. Christyl tells us which black leaders inspire her, and what she'd say to the next generation of emerging leaders.

Today's show is a recording of a Tech Talks 'Live' event from the Skybox in Amsterdam, recorded on the 22nd of September 2022. We have 6 speakers split across 2 panels tackling inclusion in the tech and startup sectors in the Netherlands. What can we learn from other territories and are the challenges we face universal?

This weekend saw 87.000 attend a football match at Wembley that challenges norms and breaks new ground - so it seemed appropriate to see how technology might be doing the same. First we chat to Anna Makinen, Head of Clear Assured at the Clear Company. How can we measure and progress inclusion? Then we welcome Ally Fekaiki, founder of Juno, who is helping evolve the choices put to employees and recast the relationship we have with the organisations we work for.

Packed with interviews, personal experiences and LGBTQ+ quiz, this will truly complete this years Pride Month! We showcase our amazing NashPride members discussing everything from allyship, to first-hand transgender experiences, coming-out stories and workplace inclusion!

Amanda McKay has worked in male-dominated sectors her whole life, and for part of that life she outwardly was part of that majority. We talk about her transition, privilege and how organisations can make themselves open, welcoming places for everyone to feel comfortable bringing their true self to work.
