Chaos to calm: Building an inclusive culture with Advita Patel S4 E2 

In episode two, Jenni is joined by Advita Patel, inclusion and communications strategist, founder of Comms Rebel and part of our collective team, to talk about bringing a sense of calm around inclusion in the workplace. 

Advita explains the chaos that is created when organisations don’t focus on inclusion or aren’t nurturing an inclusive culture. She shares why performative inclusion is more harmful than doing nothing at all. And helps identify and find ways to create more calm in your organisation. 

Advita supports our clients with projects around inclusion, diversity, and equity. She is also often working with Jenni with leadership teams going through change to help them navigate the cultural challenges that can come up. She has worked on projects around inclusion week Building a positive and inclusive workplace and you can read some of the latest thinking on unconscious bias training here: Does unconscious bias training work?
