The Rest Is...Inclusion, Diversity & Belonging In The Workplace (With Chloe Davies)

This week, Jacki and Lyle are joined by the absolutely incredible Chloe Davies. As Lyle's introduction to Chloe in the episode suggests, she really has had an incredible career so far. She is a global inclusion and belonging consultant, a chef, and an entrepreneur, as well as being an incredibly committed campaigner for inclusion and equality across all spaces. Chloe is also a member of Badassery, a private global community that empowers unconventional thought leaders to push boundaries, magnify their influence and spread their life’s passion, and the WACL (Women in Advertising & Communications Leadership). In September 2021, she took on a first of its kind role in becoming the Head of Social Impact for Lucky Generals. On top of all of this, she's an Ambassador for Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), a Director of the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre Project, and the founder of ‘It Takes A Village’, a collective for Black women in advertising, media & marketing. A Campaign 2023 40over40 honouree, a 2023 BBDA finalist, and one of LinkedIn’s Top Voices in 2022, it goes without saying that Jacki and Lyle were in great company this week! In a wide-ranging and important episode, Chloe discusses how she went from working at Tower Records in Piccadilly Circus, to following in her parents' footsteps in moving into the fashion industry, becoming the youngest ever trainee manager at Peter Jones, aged just 17. She talks to Jacki and Lyle about what inclusion and belonging means to her, including how her work with Lucky Generals on ad campaigns with Amazon and Virgin Atlantic made her feel like everything she had worked on up to that point finally made sense. Lyle asks her how important the 'belonging' aspect of her work is, with Chloe emphasising it's importance by outlining the work she has done in establishing uniform practices at 9 airlines and counting that allow employees to feel comfortable and seen in the workplace, before Jacki and Chloe agree that, without putting a steak in the ground, it's impossible to see just how far the needle has really moved in terms of diversity and inclusion. There really is so much to love about this absolutely incredible episode, which includes how Chloe was able to secure an Adele exclusive for one of her ad campaigns, cameos from her 7-year-old son Miles and Jacki's dog Ludo, and Lyle often watching on awestruck at everything that he's hearing!For more on Chloe's work with It Takes A Village after leaving Lucky Generals, head here: https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/lucky-generals-head-social-impact-chloe-davies-exits/1826325Artwork by Daff KjellströmMusic by Lyle FultonGet in touch via [email protected] or [email protected] information at www.dimoso.com and www.therestispr.comFollow us on Twitter - @TheRestIsPR Hosted on Acast.
