How we do it?

Build Awareness

Educate

Create Allyship

Most of us will acknowledge that we have privilege of some kind, at some time, but how aware are we about what types of privilege there are or even which we have?
The word privilege has been around in the English language since the 12th century and earlier in French and Latin. It means ‘a right, immunity or benefit enjoyed only by a person beyond the advantages of most’ or ‘the principle or condition of enjoying special rights or immunities’ or ‘special advantages or rights possessed by an individual or group’. It can have either legal or personal sanction and can be gained by birth, social position, effort or concession.

How we will achieve our goal?

Through mediums of written text, storytelling, video and training, we will educate, share knowledge, provide practical, action-based advice and inspire people to think and behave differently to create a more level playing field for all. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua

Build allyship. Create social change.

Our December Diversity Calendar shows the wildebee Our December Diversity Calendar shows the wildebeest during their Great Migration at a riverbank, and it is impossible not to think about what it takes to support one another through risk.  Wildebeest behaviour is shaped by constant threat. They travel with zebras who see danger earlier and can pause for days at rivers, watching the currents, and waiting for a few bold ‘pioneers’ to try the crossing. Once those braver ones move, the others follow because staying behind is no longer safe. The herd reads subtle social cues, responds to signs of strain, and protects one another through quick adjustments; their survival depends on cooperative vigilance. 

In the workplace people often sense the early signs of discomfort or exclusion in others, yet these moments can slip by without support. Allyship deepens when awareness becomes action and attentiveness becomes a steady willingness to step in. The simple act of noticing someone’s strain and choosing to stand with them strengthens the culture around them. When colleagues read one another with care the environment becomes steadier and safer for everyone. 

As you move through this final month of 2025 and into the next year notice who seems uncertain at their own riverbank and who might move forward with greater ease if you walk beside them. 

The Privilege Project is a global learning partner that strengthens decision quality, leadership impact, and talent retention by changing how influence gets used at work.

Its first of its kind programmes build awareness across numerous dimensions of privilege, helping leaders recognise unearned advantage and use it to champion others, open doors, and shift outcomes at the moments that shape careers.

The work builds empathy and trust, strengthens psychological safety and belonging, and increases engagement. Opportunity becomes more evenly shared as leaders learn practical ways to remove friction, sponsor with intention, and build healthier, more resilient cultures.

The PwC Global Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey 20 The PwC Global Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey 2025 makes one truth impossible to ignore. Trust is the bridge between technological change and human readiness. When people trust managers, trust senior leaders, and trust the systems guiding AI adoption, they feel more motivated, more secure, and more willing to take part in the changes ahead.

Our latest carousel shares three trust-centred findings from the report. Each one shows how reliability, openness, and follow-through shape the way people respond when AI begins to influence their work. These findings reveal how everyday behaviour, not just strategy, determines whether employees feel able to engage or feel the need to protect themselves.

PwC’s wider guidance offers clear next steps. Leaders can explain how work will evolve, keep human judgement in the loop, and set firm practices that protect data and maintain dependable standards. They can create networks of AI leads who test tools safely and share insight, and keep conversations open so concerns are surfaced early rather than quietly amplified. These choices build trust long before the technology reaches scale.

Trust takes time, yet it remains the fastest route to genuine readiness. When people trust the process, they can move with it rather than resist it. To explore leadership clarity and cultural support, Huma Qazi Limited on LinkedIn and @newinclusion each offer companion insights drawn from the same report.
This month, our Diversity Calendar features a stri This month, our Diversity Calendar features a striking image of a dolphin’s bubble ring, a circle of air rising through the water, accompanied by widely shared footage that captures the moment in action. It’s a fascinating reminder of how curiosity and play leads to learning and shared understanding.

Dolphins form these rings through play, shaping air and watching as the bubbles rise. Others often join in, observing and experimenting until they can create their own. Scientists describe this as creativity, exploration, and social learning in motion. What begins as individual curiosity soon becomes a collective act of play and discovery.

The same principle applies to allyship. Understanding develops through curiosity, engagement, and a genuine willingness to learn from one another. When workplaces encourage listening, reflection, and dialogue, empathy becomes an active part of daily culture.

Our Diversity Calendar helps you explore, learn, and connect with the stories that deepen awareness and understanding around you.

What does leadership look like when fairness is te What does leadership look like when fairness is tested?

Inclusive leadership keeps equity visible, challenges bias in daily decisions, and builds trust through action. When attention drifts, bias slips back through habits and systems. Keep inclusion active with clear standards, consistent behaviours, and accountability that people can feel. Our carousel shares three practical actions you can use today.

As the year draws into its final quarter, how will As the year draws into its final quarter, how will you use your privilege to light the way, making space not just for visible representation, but for those whose experiences often remain unseen?

In the forest, fireflies synchronise their glow, filling the night with light. The brilliance we notice is only part of the story. Beneath it lies an unseen rhythm — chemical reactions inside their bodies, hidden patterns of timing, and signals that give meaning to their glow.

Representation has a similar duality. What is visible matters. A panel photo, a board line-up, or a conference stage instantly tells a story. An all-white male line-up can send a message of exclusion before anyone speaks. Visual diversity is important because it shapes who feels welcome, safe, and seen.

Yet much remains unseen. Lived experiences are layered, shaped by class, sexuality, disability, neurodiversity, and so on, even among people who look alike. Without recognising this, we risk reducing representation to appearances alone.

Brilliance comes when we attend to both the visible and the unseen. Like the fireflies, alignment allows every spark and every story to become part of the whole.

Our Diversity Calendar is free to download from theprivilegeproject.org Each month includes key dates, hyperlinked so you can explore and learn more about these important moments.
