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

This month our calendar features Khon, Thailand’ This month our calendar features Khon, Thailand’s masked epic theatre, where stories from the Ramakien are carried through movement, music and rich visual detail. Many performers whether hero, demon, or monkey wear intricate masks that help to fix their characters in place. There’s no help from facial expression, no quick smile or frown to carry meaning. They portray meaning often through delicate hand, finger and wrist movements. The audience has to look past what they would usually rely on. There is a useful parallel here for work. It’s very easy to give the most weight to what is obvious. Job titles, confidence in a meeting, who speaks first, who keeps talking. These signals are easy to see, so they can dominate how we read a room or situation. Privilege can also shape who is more visible in the first place, bringing some voices into clearer view while others receive less attention. But they are only part of the story. Important work and context can sit out of view, in how ideas are developed, how people are brought together, how outcomes hold. The people doing that less obvious work may not be the first to speak, or the most visible in the group, but their work still counts. Applying that same expanded awareness at work can improve how people are understood and how their contribution is valued. Let’s improve how we notice and how we listen. Let’s look beyond the obvious. #Leadership #Clarity #Perception Huma Qazi | Kate Stuart | Louisa van Vessem | Shiva Raichandani | Sara Chandran | Sofia Beale | Saad Ali Khan | Rebecca Westaway | Áine Maher | Jacqueline Chow | Amelia Donkor
Leaders often believe direct negative feedback imp Leaders often believe direct negative feedback improves performance, but who gives it, how it is delivered (and received), and the consequences that follow can have a long term detrimental impact on both the individual and the organisation. Levels of privilege add further complexity. Some groups are more likely to receive harsher or counterproductive feedback, including women, those who are less experienced or even smaller in stature. Access plays a role too. Employees with greater organisational standing, longer tenure or stronger relationships are more likely to benefit from open and constructive conversations. Our carousel is drawn from a recent Harvard Business Review article. Employees were clear - feedback should develop people without humiliating them. When it does, performance improves, people stay, and they invest more in the organisation’s future. We’ve linked the article in the comments. #Feedback #Culture #Learning #Trust
Happy March! This month brings us to Flamenco, the Happy March! This month brings us to Flamenco, the powerful dance tradition of Andalusia in southern Spain. In our 2026 calendar we’ve captured it in three words, fire, rhythm, pride. Flamenco emerged through centuries of cultural exchange in Andalusia. Roma communities shaped its character, particularly through their expressive singing known as cante jondo. Andalusian folk traditions also contributed, along with musical influences that travelled through the region over generations, including Arabic and Sephardic sounds. A flamenco performance follows a strict rhythmic cycle known as compás. Everyone shares that rhythm but each dancer, singer and guitarist interprets the moment in their own way. Footwork is precise, hands shape the air, and the music responds in real time. There is something here for organisations. Teams need rhythm as much as talent and when team members understand their roles and purpose they know how their contribution fits into the whole. In other words the structure creates alignment and individual judgement and creativity bring the ‘performance’ to life. Fire gives flamenco its intensity, rhythm keeps everyone together, pride honours the history behind the movement. Workplaces thrive when those same elements are present. #Teams #Roles #Purpose #Culture Huma Qazi | Kate Stuart | Louisa van Vessem | Shiva Raichandani | Sara Chandran | Sofia Beale | Saad Ali Khan | Rebecca Westaway | Áine Maher | Jacqueline Chow | Amelia Donkor
Manufacturing has shaped the UK’s economic ident Manufacturing has shaped the UK’s economic identity for generations. It has also shaped who is seen as belonging, whose identity fits established norms, and who moves forward more easily. The ambition to reach 35% female representation by 2035 invites leaders to look beyond representation targets and examine how identity, privilege, and access still influence opportunity. 🟥 Who progresses fastest. 🟥 Who receives sponsorship. 🟥 Who benefits from established networks. Our latest carousel explores five leadership questions that surface where advantage sits and how systems can shift to widen access. #Privilege #Identity #Leadership #Inclusion
Our February calendar image features the Mevlevi S Our February calendar image features the Mevlevi Sema, a devotional turning ceremony from Sufi tradition in Turkey. It’s practised with structure, intention, and discipline, even at high speed, held steady at its centre through rhythm and form. That image maps well to the workplace and offers a few useful lessons. A week can gather speed quickly. The diary fills up, messages keep arriving, decisions queue up, and thinking time gets squeezed. Priorities change shape mid-day. People start guessing what matters most. Everyone stays busy, but the cost shows up as decision fatigue, mixed messages, and work that expands without moving the business forward. Hold a steady centre The team doesn’t need the world to slow down. It needs a clear centre to orient around, why the work matters, what good looks like, and which priorities come first. When the why is steady, the how can move quickly without pulling people off balance. Make purpose the filter A leader’s attention shapes everyone else’s attention. If everything is urgent, nothing is strategic. Filtering noise is part of the job. Protect time for work that matters, reduce unnecessary loops, and set expectations about what deserves a response. Create clarity at pace High performing teams move quickly when confusion stays low. Clear decisions, clean handoffs, and composed communication create momentum people can sustain without burning out. Download our 2026 calendar, themed around Dance, and see how people come together through rhythm, tradition, and shared meaning. Each month includes hyperlinked dates so you can learn more about key observances across diverse communities throughout the year #Leadership #Clarity #Culture#Pace
