What makes you feel like you belong? With Justice Williams MBE and Josh Graham

We all want to belong. At school. In our friendship groups. Our gym class. At work. It’s what makes us human. Instead, we often settle for fitting in. We edit who we are. Shapeshift to match the world around us. Or present a version of us that might be more ‘acceptable’ to others. And if you’re black, it's likely that you’ve spent a big part of your life doing just that. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to belong, the importance of role models and what we can all do to advocate for a greater sense of belonging both in business and wider society. Tune in to find out: What it means to belong both inside and outside of work The importance of diversity networks and role models The challenges that can arise with belonging and how to overcome them Justice and Josh’s advice for people who yearn for belonging but haven’t quite found it   Enjoyed this episode?
