The Mastering Portrait Photography Podcast
Arts:Visual Arts
If there is one skill I have, it's recognising an opportunity when it bops me on the nose. Today was one of those moments. Helen May actually came to the studio to update her headshots but the minute we sat and talked about her work on diversity and inclusion, I knew she would be perfect to have on the podcast.
Luckily both of our diaries had some time after her session and so we sat, chatted and laughed about her life, her work, her new book and how photographers (like me) can learn and improve our approach both as company owners and as people who interact with people on a daily (or hourly!) basis.
Helen's new book Everyone Included is available on Amazon:
Diversity and inclusion (D&I) isn’t just an HR exercise – it can make a real difference to your team performance too.
By making everyone in your team feel like they belong, you’ll be able to boost motivation and productivity. Everyone Included helps you make inclusion, belonging and wellbeing central to your team. By helping everyone feel that they belong, your team will foster genuine inclusion and be ready to adapt and evolve in the future.
With a step-by-step plan to design and implement a diversity and inclusion plan that brings results:
As always, I asked my interviewee for a book recommendation for our little library and she recommended The Art Of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli - and can be found here on Amazon.
It was a very funny, very informative hour or so and well worth a listen. Of course, I would say that but have a listen and see what you think!
And if you're thinking that Helen and I hit it off immediately? Well, you'd be absolutely right!
Enjoy!
Cheers
