Dr Grace Lordan: How To Build The Future You Want

In today’s episode, we chat with the brilliant Dr Grace Lordan. Dr Lordan is the Founding Director of The Inclusion Initiative, an Associate Professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science and also serves as an expert advisor to the UK Government. As an academic, Dr Lordan’s research is focused on quantifying the benefits of inclusion within and across firms and designing interventions that level the playing field for under-represented talent. Her work has appeared in numerous prestigious academic journals coupled with the Financial Times and Harvard Business Review. 

In March 2021, Grace published her first book 'Think Big: Take Smalls Steps and Build The Future You Want', an evidence-based guide that looks at how your small actions today will determine your future. In today’s conversation, we delve into Grace's work covering tonnes of behavioural science concepts including how our emotions influence decision making, the relationship between gender and risk aversion and why we fear failure. You'll leave with a better understanding of why some people stumble in their journeys, and why others succeed and actionable steps to create the future you want.
