Back in April, I did a resilience and unconscious bias session with HSBC Corporate Banking Group. I received an amazing email from Tom Carter, Area Director, Corporate Banking Liverpool.
Hi Irene
I wanted to write to you and say a huge personal thank you for your time and support today.
We have been inundated with positive feedback from around the North Region and you have really helped us to better understand the background to the issues we see in society, the challenges faced by those in minority groups and what actions we can take to build a more inclusive and diverse culture and workforce.
The level of feedback was very deep and you have really touched some of our staff and I thought I would share some of these with you:
‘’As a woman, I could relate to her examples of exclusionary behaviour – she is an inspirational role model for all minority communities.’’
‘’Irene really made me pause and think about how I approach these challenges and what I can do to positively influence matters’’
‘’How much resilience must you have to face so many challenges and keep overcoming them, truly inspirational’’
‘’It has been really one of the best events I have attended and I know everyone who attended got a lot out of the session’’
