Leadership for those in our industries top jobs has never been harder... or more important.

Who we serve,
what they face,
and why it matters
When we say under-represented talent, we mean the people who bring value but often lack visibility, support, or sponsorship in your organisation.
Under-represented talent means the high-potential individuals who deliver real value but often lack visibility, sponsorship, and the support needed to thrive in your organisation.
This includes (but isn’t limited to and in no particular order):
Global Majority (ethnic and racial minorities)
Women in senior or non-traditional roles
LGBTQIA+ professionals
People from working-class or different socioeconomic backgrounds
Disabled and neurodivergent individuals
Why it matters:
Invisible talent = untapped opportunity
Over-mentored, under-sponsored = well-advised but under-advanced
Emotional tax = hidden cost to engagement and productivity
Stalled progress = slowed growth and innovation
“Is your leadership pipeline a mirror reflecting bias, a magnifier of it... or a true catalyst for equity?”
Ask yourself:
Change doesn’t start with everyone.
It starts with someone
... and the next step of this journey
