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
Antoine Mindjimba, Associate Partner at EY joins Peter Trevor Wilson and me for a discussion of leadership in the time of Covid19 and the reckoning on race
In this episode Antoine Mindjimba, Associate Partner, Culture, Diversity and Inclusion and Transformative Leadership, EY shares his perspective on leadership in the light of the two most pressing challenges facing organizations today - Covid 19 and the reckoning with race in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd.
Building on the a previous conversation with Peter Trevor Wilson, Author of The Human Equity Advantage, we take the opportunity to focus on the issue of leadership. Antoine begins by walking us through a model that involves Purpose, Authenticity, Trust, Pragmatic Hope, Empathy and Lightening the Burden.
We apply these concepts to DEI, discuss the impact of the BlackNorth initiative and conclude with some personal thoughts about how leaders can remain resilient in the face of uncertainty and change.
