Culture, Diversity and Inclusion
About This Week’s Guest
Stephen Frost
Stephen Frost is the Head of Diversity and Inclusion for KPMG UK. He served as Head of Diversity and Inclusion for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games from 2007-2012. He was educated as a Hertford College Scholar at Oxford University and a Fulbright Scholar at Harvard University. He also teaches inclusive leadership at Harvard Business School and an extended class at Sciences Po in Paris. He advises several organizations and governments worldwide and is the author of the book The Inclusion Imperative.
His 3 tips for becoming more culturally competent are:
- Listen (also make sure you listen to people who are usually quiet); we don’t have all the answers, and if you listen, you hear more.
- Take Risks: many people are too afraid to take the plunge. Simply do what you intend to do.
- Relax “into it”; meaning that you sometimes need to go with the flow and see what happens.
