About this listen

Leaders are faced with dilemmas every day that flow from human interactions at work. And they are so often disruptive, time-consuming, potentially create division among your staff and test you as a leader. You need time to reflect…..you need space in the morning to listen to Rachel Cashman and Simon Fanshawe eating these problems for breakfast. Fearless Diversity is the candid podcast that tackles the real dilemmas bosses, managers, and leaders face every day – around accountability, decision-making, workplace dynamics, conflict, and organisational culture and their people. Join Rachel Cashman and Simon Fanshawe — two of the foremost thought leaders in workplace diversity, leadership, and inclusion — as they dive into honest conversations that get to the heart of it. We have the conversations you want to have.



Rachel brings real-world, high-level implementation experience - expertise that CEOs and managers can trust, learn from, and enlist when they need results and to ensure their teams perform at their best. Simon adds his clout as a highly respected broadcaster, author, and inclusion specialist. They don’t always agree — and that’s the point. Rachel and Simon argue, disagree, and explore different perspectives, and always with resolution and insight – modelling the difficult conversations leaders need to have. It’s a podcast for thoughtful leaders who want to reflect, rather than shout or be shouted at. Fearless Diversity is the place to think differently about today’s trickiest human issues at work.

    Banter
    May 8 2025

    Banter is fun. But it's also waring and bullying. It's negative and positive. So When does the negative become harassment? But when does the absence of laughter and jokes make it more difficult to work together? Can’t we make jokes / laugh at work any more? What are the guidelines / boundaries? It's not comfortable walking on eggshells. But other people's sensitivities do matter. Is the ability to joke with each other a sign of safety with each other? Rachel and Simon explore all this.. seriously and also have a bit of a banter.

    Trump and Diversity
    Apr 30 2025

    Donald Trump is back. So, what does this mean for UK businesses and their EDI agendas? Simon sets out a practical five-point plan to navigate the turbulence, while Rachel reveals some of the rational, and decidedly irrational, executive behaviours she's encountered in boardrooms since Trump's second inauguration. Together, they unpack how leaders can seize opportunities, sidestep pitfalls, and stay respond productively in the face of renewed disruption.
