Thank you to all those who joined our How to Have Conversations about Race at Work – Part 2 event on 10th September.

Executive Coaches Claudia Crawley, Marie Loney and Sadia Salam – all registered on the Diverse Executive Coach Directory – joined me to build on previous conversations and discuss how we can:

• Build trust and ensure that there is clarity around your motivations
• Overcome our fear of getting it wrong
• Create organisational initiatives to get everyone talking about Race.

If you missed the event, you can watch a recording.
