That feeling that you can really make a difference

As the Global D&I Lead, it's Lesley's job to act as a chairperson for our global D&I Committee. "The committee is the heart of our D&I movement. Our goal is to drive awareness and understanding of the D&I ambition and to create change within the organisation. We organise different activities globally, like sessions about perception biases and imposter syndrome, and honouring our 130 different nationalities by activities around important events, such as Chinese New Year and Ramadan."

"Personally, I get a lot of energy from working together with a diverse group of people. Hearing their stories, their passions, their ideas and ultimately learning about them as individuals and the cultures they represent. You never stop learning and by keeping an open mind to different views and perspectives you can enrich your own life experiences. You don't always have to agree, but it's important to take the time to listen and understand."
