"Inclusion isn't about other people and their identities, it's about us and our behaviours."I have written the book Building Inclusion: A Practical Guide to Equity, Diversity & Inclusion in Architecture and the Built Environment, published by Routledge - available to order now from all good bookshops.I facilitated and led the development of an EDI Charter for Formula 1, published on 26 Nov 2024, based on the principles of Behaviours influencing the organisation pillars of how we Attract diversity, Retain it, Create inclusive services and products and Engage inclusively with external stakeholders. Unheard Voice is a strategic inclusion consultancy supporting organisations across sectors to develop inclusive cultures in order to support diverse teams to thrive.Working at an individual, team and organisational level, overlaying the four capabilities of cultural intelligence (CQ) with the four McKinsey model cornerstones of successful change, I have created a unique wholesale approach to embedding an inclusive culture.We then work to implement it into how you ATTRACT a diversity of people to work with you; how you treat, progress and RETAIN your staff; how you CREATE designs and deliver your products and services; and, how you ENGAGE your external stakeholders, customer, clients, users and communities.Unheard Voice Consultancy is a different approach to Inclusion strategy and consultancy which benefits your service user more directly, as well as your organisation internally; ultimately enabling your organisation to give those unheard voices in our society, a place to speak.
