One of our diverse executive coaches – Leyla Okhai presented a fantastic Ted talk in Wolverhampton very recently.
Leyla discusses her personal experience of racism and discrimination in the workplace, the connection between culture, race and mental health and what can be done to create more inclusive workplaces and truly anti-racist organisations. Leyla is the founder and Director of Diverse Minds UK Ltd. Diverse Minds aims to create a positively productive workplace for all through training, coaching and consultancy. The focus is placed on wellbeing, mental health and by understanding differences. Leyla has over seventeen years’ experience in developing and implementing diversity, inclusion and equality practices, with senior leadership teams. She is also the host of the award-winning Diverse Minds Podcast, a weekly show about mental health and inclusion. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
