Event
31st July 2020
On 31st July 2020, we held our second REflect event ONLINE!
The morning session was for companies, and those in business, to learn about and understand the facts and statistics on under-representation of BAME role models and senior leaders in organisations. The speakers offered advice on how to tangibly take steps to address and fix this from within, or partner with organisations that can help.
The afternoon session was to inspire young people (18-25 years old) with talks from motivational speakers who shared their success stories to break down barriers and show them that they can be whatever they want to be with the right attitude and mindset.
Watch the videos below and hear first-hand from our incredible speakers who are all passionate about diversity and ensuring that no one is left behind.
