Leading Edge Podcast
Shaheena describes herself as a ‘disruptor with a purpose’, in this podcast she disrupts and reshapes some of our thinking about diversity.
It can be hard to bring about change so, there must be a clear reason for people to start changing their behaviours. In this episode Shaheena considers the use of quotas and targets, resilience, and the relationship between diversity, innovation, and financial success.

- Introducing pluralism – what is it?
- Thinking diversely
