Here Comes Everyone by The Conference Bard
Originally called "Uncanceled & Unplugged" this podcast was conceived at the outset of the Covid crisis in North America. Being a conference designer I knew a lot of people who had expected to be speaking at events in the subsequent months having them canceled or postponed. So I launched the podcast to provide them with an alternative platform.In August, several months into the pandemic, it was clear that most event organizers had shifted to virtual events and no one was getting canceled anymore.So the podcast has now become "Here Comes Everyone". The name reflects the huge variety of guests we've had in the last few months and the intention to focus a bit more on issues of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.
Here Comes Everyone by The Conference Bard
D&I leader Peter Trevor Wilson discusses the tragic killing of George Floyd, the aftermath, and how we must all step up to create an equitable and just society
As the President of TWI International and the author of two books, the latest of which was The Human Equity Advantage: Beyond Diversity to Talent Optimization, Peter has been a tireless and inspirational advocate for greater inclusion in organizations based upon our common humanity.
Drawing on this experience, plus his own life story, he shares his insights into the current moment and how we must all seize this opportunity to create equitable societies, institutions and organizations.
Peter talks about why he thinks that it is different this time, the similarities and differences between Canada and the US, the role of leadership and the need to redefine justice by learning from the experience of Nelson Mandela, traditional African approaches and the practices of First Nations communities in Canada.
