Clarissa is an expert in education and leadership, and a passionate advocate for girls and women. In this episode she talks about how buildings affect children and why schools matter.
Clarissa has coached and mentored educators and educational decision-makers throughout the UK and internationally, and led St Pauls, one of the UK’s highest achieving schools.

Our speaker today is Toby Mildon, Diversity & Inclusion Architect at Mildon, a consultancy and advisory business. Toby works with businesses to re-engineer business processes and systems to minimise the impact of bias, to break down cultural barriers, and also build a culture of inclusion.
And Toby has a book, titled Inclusive Growth, which includes his proven framework for building D&I in corporations.
Before setting up his consultancy, Toby worked for several years as a diversity & inclusion leader at Deloitte the BBC. He led countless initiatives to build diversity and culture in these big businesses, including targeted talent initiatives to get more women into tech, implement family-friendly policies and practices, and improve workplace accessibility to benefit all.
But actually Toby’s background is in tech, and before working in D&I, he spent over a decade leading multinational projects in health tech, media, and aviation.
In this episode, Toby speaks to us about the power of creating a diverse and inclusive workforce.
What do diversity in the workplace means?

Daniel Priestley talks about the benefits of aligning your business with a purpose beyond making money, and how to go about that even if you feel you don't have a higher purpose.
We discuss how property developers and investors can use the principles of being oversubscribed to raise investment, and why the best method to get the highest price for your house (or any other development), is NOT to try and sell it, instead it's to get oversubscribed with buyers and let nature take its course.
