The Black Lives Matters Movement has thrust diversity and inclusion back into a global news agenda. But how do we take good thoughts and intentions into real change? There are many questions this debates poses to leaders, HR departments, middle managers and employees.

Our next Speakers Corner Connects Showcase  will ask: How do we create a culture which embraces diverse perspectives? What does an all-inclusive workplace really look like? How do we bring out the best in those of us who feel marganilised and under-represented?

Join us on the 25 June from 15:00 - 16:00 to see John Amaechi , David Lammy  and Shappi Khorsandi  each deliver a 15-minute session on their views on what constitutes real change.  Register today! John Amaechi
