Diversity + Inclusion Support
for Businesses

"I recently completed Your D+I Diversity and Inclusion On Demand workshops. I am currently developing some EDI initiatives in both my day job and for a charity I am trustee for. Both roles are for organisations that are lacking in diversity, and I am very conscious there's many aspects to EDI that I am unaware of, given my own positionality as a white man. The On Demand workshops were an amazing insight for me to start thinking and challenging my own understanding of the world around me, and the biases I may hold, or that my colleague might too. It started to give me the confidence to start having these difficult conversations, and how to go about them effectively. It also really highlighted to me the importance to ensure that we take our approach to EDI incredibly seriously, and that we need to be really holding the mirror up to all of our practices. My experience with Your D+I has been great, and I am recommending their work and services to the organisations I am involved with."

"At Nottingham Trent University we identified a development need for staff to be better equipped in having equality, diversity and inclusion conversation with employers. Chris our consultant at Your D+I planned and facilitated a training session for staff, packed with powerful messages, practical tools and guidance along with thought-provoking content and discussion topics. We opened up the session for all external engagement staff across departments of NTU and it sparked innovative ideas, questions and collaborative action points to move forward in this space. I would highly recommend working with Your D+I to better improve your EDI working practice and engagement."

"The Unconscious Bias Training Your D+I ran was a really open, transparent and front footed approach. Actionable and inclusive without slipping into a superficial check box exercise. Chris’ manner really worked and the generous openness was authentic and invites people to lean in as you could see in the chat."

"It is a pleasure working with Chris, he is truly passionate about and committed to making the world a more inclusive place for us all. From his own lived experiences, through to his ability to connect and talk with others about topics and feelings many either brush over, or shy away from, Chris is able to bring people together and start conversations that result in not just educating others but most importantly in action being taken to implement change. We all have to start somewhere and Chris will help you find that place and take those steps forwards in a truly inclusive way."

"The workshops were really original, engaging and really helped deliver important education on key diversity and inclusion topics. The workshops provided actionable next steps which you can implement into your organisation and the content is perfect for all levels within an organisation. I would really encourage any organisation who are looking to make improvements to speak to Chris and Your D+I!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed partnering with Your D+I when reviewing our D&I strategy. From the start of the project, Chris took time to fully understand our company, our culture and our challenges. Chris was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable and has helped to move us along on our inclusivity journey."

"Chris delivered a really insightful session, creating a safe space where staff and students were able to share their ideas and understanding of issues around diversity and inclusion. The session helped students and staff to explore unconscious bias, Allyship and use of language. He also talked through how we might act as Allies to stamp out discrimination and create an inclusive working environment. Chris facilitated important conversations with empathy and sensitivity, and feedback from the session shows that everyone was able to embrace the opportunity to learn and reflect on their own, personal views around the subject."

"Chris is such a lovely human being. He's a genuinely nice guy who cares about others. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about diversity and inclusion and he is overflowing with great ideas of how to make the world a better place by celebrating difference. If you are looking for diversity training then look no further. I recommend Chris highly."

"I have learnt so much from Chris. Chris is an engaging communicator; a cheerful individual who will always challenge traditions and morals, opening people's minds to innovation and enacting change. He is the mayonnaise to your sandwich when it comes to tackling anything diversity, inclusion and social mobility."

"A diverse and inclusive workplace is now considered to be vital to driving forward business success. There are very few people as passionate and knowledgeable about this subject as Chris Allan and 'Your D+I' should be the go-to place for all your Diversity & Inclusion insight."

"I thoroughly enjoyed attending Your D+I's 'It's Just Banter' online workshop. The session ran at a lovely pace giving plenty of time for participation from the delegates. It was interesting and informative without being too heavy. I was particularly delighted to get the feeling of being in a classroom even though we were online, which was absolutely down to Chris's warm and naturally motivating delivery"
