Key Takeaways from This Episode:

  1. The Equality Act wasn’t meant to create inclusion, it was meant to prevent discrimination.
    • “It was designed to create minimum standards of legal protection. Not a roadmap for building inclusive cultures.”
  2. You can comply with the law and still fail your people.
    • “I’ve heard people say that they’re following the rules but their culture hasn’t changed.”
  3. Real inclusion needs leadership not legislation.
    • “All the real impact comes from proactive leadership, not passive compliance.”
