“Despite serving as a D&I Advisor in the British Army, the 'Confident D&I Conversations' course introduced me to new perspectives I hadn't considered before, like the idea that a 'gender reveal' party is actually misnamed! Now, thanks to the course, I’ll never forget that lesson 😊. The course has equipped me with practical tools and fresh ideas to bring D&I into more of my conversations. I feel more confident leading these discussions, especially knowing that my willingness to learn is more important than getting it perfect right away. The D&I Awareness Activities are something I’m excited to implement with my team, and I’m sure my younger colleagues will help me stay up-to-date with the evolving language.”

Captain Jules Macrory, Squadron OC/Potential Officer Mentor/D&I Advisor British Army Reserves
