019: Branding DEI with a Difference, featuring Sara Kedge

The BrandUp Podcast

Meet Sara Kedge – a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion consultant and neurodiversity coach to leaders across the UK and beyond.

Sara’s voice stands out in a crowded industry – as much as her bright teal hair stands out in a crowd!

DEI transformation can often feel heavy and hard, Sara brings play and joy. Most of all, she creates bespoke solutions for each of her clients to create truly inclusive workplaces. No box-ticking DEI here!

With play and joy, Sara guides her clients to make uncomfortable changes that stick, and offers reassurance that getting things wrong is part of the DEI process.

This week Sara talks about how she became so clear, confident and powerful in her message that “the time for empty conversation about DEI is over.”
