Unlocking Potential Through Diversity and Inclusion in Sports. 🏅🏳️🌈 This weekend, JD Group proudly sponsored the Gaydio Academy, where participants created podcasts highlighting the importance of diversity and inclusion in sports. They interviewed LGBTQ+ athletes and shared personal stories, including overcoming barriers like ableist bullying. We also hosted LinkedIn and CV writing workshops to help participants showcasing their skills and potential in the job market. Initiatives like this help individuals build connections, develop skills, and unlock their potential. To strive for diversity, we must continue to lead with kindness, address systemic inequalities and open the doors for all. #JDCommunity #Diversity #Inclusion #LGBTQ+ #Sports
