Good morning, everyone. I'm just getting ready for my Confident Conversations session with a charity that booked well in advance. Initially, they wanted it scheduled for Black History Month, but their real aim is to gain the confidence to implement effective and meaningful inclusion work long-term. In every session, we go beyond awareness, grounding discussions with historical context to understand the journey—where it started and where we are now. We break down organisations' major fears around anti-racism, especially terminology concerns. For many, the fear of “getting it wrong” or offending others can prevent real action. Our role is to address these concerns and empower people with the tools to keep moving forward. Our session flows through three practical steps: historical context, addressing fears via real-life scenarios, and fostering brave, confident conversations. Initially, many focused on “getting comfortable with being uncomfortable,” but we now emphasize taking courageous action beyond discomfort. For us, the future of DEI and Antiracism and Allyship is in the implementation stage. If your organisation is ready to move forward, resources are available through our pRESPECT Academy! This month, I’ve embraced spaces celebrating Black achievements, like the inspiring Black Women’s Rise Gala, which reminded me of thewhich reminded me of the importance of nurturing transformative communities. So, if your team is ready to make real strides, book your Active Learning November session with us today.
