Tech and the talent gap: no time to waste

In the wake of George Floyd’s murder big tech made many promises and pledges around diversity, equity and inclusion. Two years later, there’s little evidence of action or the level of sustainable change that we need to see.  According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 83% of tech executives are white. Business Insider’s research tracking progress in representation in the tech industry post George Floyd found that only 5% of the tech workforce, 3% of executives, and 1% of [...]

Have you got a culture people want to be part of?

Life is a contradiction. We are awash with good intentions, performative actions, anger, and apathy. We’ve never had it so good; or so bad. Everything is changing faster than ever yet progress is also extremely slow. Technology is going to make us work smarter not harder; things have never been so complicated.  Which is true? All of it and also none of it! For this week’s blog I’m taking a look at some of the recent research that points to [...]

The biggest change I’ve seen in 16 years – and what still needs need to change

When I started out in my career in oil and gas I was the only female on my team.  There were NO female leaders or managers and barely any female colleagues across the whole organization and very few in the industry itself. In the 11 years I was with my first employer, I never reported to a woman. As I look back on my 16 years since setting up 2Hill Consulting, I can see there has been some… slow… progress. [...]

I stepped out on faith — you can too

Where does change happen? It feels like change is all around us, an external force buffeting us around like a leaf on the wind.  Real change, however, is internal. It happens within us and we have the power to control it, even when it feels like we control nothing else. Often, significant change starts with an inkling that we can do ‘more’ in our roles and responsibilities.  It’s OK to admit you want more out of  your career, your role, [...]

Diversity Is Not Enough – Here’s 4 Ways To Do More

The civil rights movement was born in the 1950s. Black History Month was proposed in 1969 and first marked a year later. It is 2022 and we are still having the same conversations.  We must move DEI further this year. We must expand our understanding and empathy because dismantling structures and systems has taken, and is taking, decades… and it will definitely take more than a month.  […]

Try approaching diversity like you would safety

When I work with organizations – especially in the energy sector – it’s clear that safety is a priority and there are systems and mechanisms in place to ensure that things happen in a safe way. And when things aren’t happening as they should be, a safety dashboard provides a transparent and simple way to flag issues. It works because the business depends on it – and, of course, it is the right thing to do.  […]
