I find the call for more diversity frustrating, interesting, and important in equal measure. I hear people talking about it in a way that to me feels like there is an "us" and then there are diverse candidates i.e. "them" - whether that is race, gender, economic background, or some other form of “diversity". My take on it is as that everyone is different: we are all individual and thus bring our own forms of diversity, and it is this richness of experience that matters. This is what makes for more interesting conversations, insights and more mindful decision making. I prefer to think of it is as breadth. Breadth of perspective, so as wide a range of backgrounds and experiences and ways of looking at and being in the world are considered as possible. The challenge is how we make every experience count just as much as anyone else's – particularly where experience is deemed less relevant or important. Organisations like Progress Together and many others continue to shine a light on the need for broader experience and richer perspectives and it was great to hear from one of their members. Broadening what counts as worthwhile and relevant is hugely important – this is a two-way conversation. I can teach you a few things about how I look at and experience the world, just as you can teach me many things about yours… Proactivity and humility go a long way. Interested to hear what “diversity” means to others…
