Business Without Bullsh-t Diversity, Equity and Inclusion doesn’t f*ck up your culture. It makes it.
EP 369 - You should hire people who are different from, and smarter than, you to help shape and build your culture. That’s how you grow successfully and meaningfully.
That’s the great advice from Janet Coyle (Janet Coyle CBE no less) the MD of Grow London. Janet has spent a career as a diplomat AND working in and around Silicon Valley firms and culture, so she knows a thing or seventeen about growth and how to create it.
Janet is very glass-half-full about the prospects for London as a business and innovation hub (the city is a huge draw for talent and culture). But she is also passionate about how the Grow London / London & Partners socially inclusive non profit model, could be used to help grow the entire UK economy.
