What the previous cohorts thought

“The course not only met my expectations but far exceeded them”

The program’s primary objective, revolving around creating a learning space to drive impactful communication and keeping equity, diversity, and inclusion at its core, not only met my expectations but far exceeded them. Throughout these six weeks, I had the opportunity to delve into various aspects of communication, diversity, and inclusion. Each week offered valuable insights and practical tools that have profoundly impacted my personal and professional growth.

Storyteller, professional writer and performer

“I’m more confident in speaking up”

Emily is a great facilitator and the webinars are a very safe space which is important given some of the sensitive topics that are covered during the course. The course is really helpful for looking at your long-term campaigning strategy but also provides you with an array of resources you can use and put into action straight away and I already have been doing. I already find that I’m more confident in speaking up and sharing my knowledge about how to ensure my company’s content and campaigns are inclusive and equitable.

Content Coordinator, B-Corp UK

“It was exactly what I needed”

I have a background in communications but my fear of saying the wrong thing meant my organisation was quiet on topics we care and are knowledgeable about.

This course gave me a practical way forward and helped me get more confident in how to communicate and campaign in the future. It was exactly what I needed.

Clare Harrison

Founder, Start Me Up

“Accessible, approachable and digestible”

The course is a really accessible, approachable and digestible format to understand how to create conscious communications and inclusive communications. It’s a really good starting point to build your building blocks to learn how to do that well.

What I learnt is that it’s really, really helpful to have a framework of step-by-step thinking through these things and to have a method in place for how you approach inclusive campaigns.

Ishita Ranjan-Churchill

Director, Spark and Co

“You will actually walk away having done something”

If you want to be able to learn how to run an inclusive communication campaign, to feel confident about how to do that on a small budget, limited resource, probably just yourself, then this is the perfect course for you.

I feel like there’s a lot of courses out there that just want to talk and if you do this course, you will actually walk away having done something.

Shayane Lacey

Communications Manager, Settle

“10 out of 10”

I think Emily has been brilliant. She’s checked in, checked if things are ok and to see whether we’re keeping up with the work.

She has supported us to the best of her ability and there’s nothing more that I could wish for. As a facilitator, I found her great. I think she’s really friendly and open. She makes the workshops fun. And also she ensures that she’s not just talking at us, she’s involving us within this process.

I thought 10 out of 10.

“I managed to start posting on LinkedIn for the first time after 5+ years”

The course eased my anxieties around comms to build my podcast and freelance work, especially as someone who is not social media savvy. The cohort consisted of a diverse group of people who also contributed to a rich learning experience even among ourselves. I managed to start posting on LinkedIn for the first time after 5+ years with hands on assistance from Emily (who has fire playlists by the way!). I also learnt about easy processes to make my comms more inclusive with multiple tools.
