  • Summary

  • Talking about diversity with a very diverse group of people!   Today to celebrate World Diversity Day on May 18th we have a special podcast with three of the Berlin’s leading supporters of diversity and all its glorious colours.     This is certainly one of the most powerful episodes so far, as although the image of diversity is seemingly bright for Berlin, there is a dark cloud threatening the rainbow so listen up!   My three guests are Irene Wolters from the AXICA, Gregor Blach CEO from We-Do communication agency and Philip Ibrahim, MD of The Student Hotel Berlin.   Brief introductions:  Irene dreams of travelling the world but has found her home in Berlin, Gregor is a Frankfurter (with a mix of rusty Scottish!) whose heart is now in Berlin and Philip a Berliner who represents the second most ethnic group in the city – the Swabians!!   Gregor has also been voted one of the top 100 “out” CEO executives in Germany and Philip was one of the co-founders back as long ago as 2008 of the “Pink Pillow” hotel initiative to promote a group of Berlin’s hotels to the LBGIQ community – still one of the most unique movements of its kind.   “Berlin, good so far but could do better…” is the outcome of the talk as we take a warts-and -all walk around the city.   Gregor suggests we should literally do that, but by taking the challenge of wearing a Jewish Kippah or holding hands with someone of the same sex to get a true picture.   The passion for the subject floods from the speakers as we talk about the economic benefits of diversity, the diversity charter  and the SIX DIMENSIONS OF DIVERSITY ….   Finally, we lighten the discussions with a lobster’s tale and a light hearted competition!   Please accept my apologies for the less than perfect audio, but I could not resist the chance of doing the recording live in the hotel’s café and wallow in the sound of chat, background music  and coffees being made and served…oh those halcyon days…   Subscribe Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeart   A Podcast Company - is the leading podcast production company for brands, organizations, institutions, individuals, and entrepreneurs.
