What a fantastic experience speaking at Lewis Silkin's first event on #socialmobility this week. It was a pleasure to join a panel with Lisa Slade from Accenture, Julia Paulding, Chartered FCIPD, and the brilliant Lee Elliot-Major OBE, Britain’s first Professor of Social Mobility, with the discussion excellently chaired by Jo Farmer. Each brought such insightful (and often personal) perspectives, and there was a great vibe in the room.🌟 We tackled some critical questions around social mobility—how we can break down barriers, create fairer opportunities, and drive real change in our workplaces. But the key takeaway? Collaboration is essential. It’s not a zero-sum game—one organisation’s success doesn’t come at the expense of another’s. The more we share ideas and work together, the more we can level the playing field and ensure no one is left behind. And not only that, but organisations can reap more business benefits of greater #socialmobility. 💡🤝 This event marks the first in a series, and we’ll be diving deeper into practical tips and strategies that organisations can adopt to make a real impact. But we want to hear from you—what challenges are you facing? What would you like to see covered in future discussions? Let’s continue the conversation and work together to build a more inclusive future for all. 👏💼 https://lnkd.in/eVeQNbAZ #SocialMobility #Diversity #Inclusion #Collaboration #WorkTogether
