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.

DEI-Logue: Conversations in DEI - Episode Three. Leadership & Sustainability with Marilyn Johnson
Marilyn Johnson is Senior Director Sustainability at Clarivate and was recently named by The American Energy Society as one of the top 500 Global Sustainability Thought Leaders.
Marilyn and her work are great examples of how DEI is increasingly influencing thought and action in other functions across the organization. While the impact of DEI is perhaps most obvious in HR related areas such as Talent Management or Employee Wellbeing, Marilyn explains how it has become a core principle guiding sustainability at Clarivate.
Sustainability and Diversity both share a common characteristic - to be effective they can't be a function bolted on to the organization, they have to inform all activities in the organization. They are thus natural partners in organizational transformation and culture.
This is a thought provoking, stimulating conversation that invites listeners to think more expansively about DEI to drive lasting change.
