In April I will be one of the principal speakers at the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development Diversity and Inclusion conference taking place in London .

I believe that there is a direct correlation between the seniority of my role within Palladium and my position on the Executive Board , and the rate of progress we have managed to achieve on diversity and inclusion issues .
Real change takes time and can only be achieved when everyone works together . The difficulty lies in helping the organisation to think about diversity beyond gender , and to see that everyone is responsible — from executives to the front line — for creating a diverse and inclusive environment .
