If I could give this podcast 10 stars I would. Rarely, does one find this quality of DEI education. Dr Jonathon goes straight to the heart of DEI issues in an easily consumable fashion. I've only just discovered his work and look forward to learning more from him. Thank you Dr Jonathon.

Actionable advice, no filler

I’ve listened to five episodes. All have been interesting, most have been excellent. They’re short because Dr. Lamprey gets to the point and finishes-no filler.

Thoughtful and timely content

Dr. Jonathan is great! I am an HR professional moving in to the DEI space and I wanted something that helped me amplify my knowledge and provide tangible insights. Cue this podcast! I have binged the past 5 years of podcasts and had my “pen and paper” at the ready. The weekly “lessons” are digestible, they provide helpful information, the show notes are outstanding and I love the updates. I have referred to the papers, followed many of the guests and I am reading many of the books, as he suggests (not just listening to his reviews). Dr. Jonathan, I cannot wait till your book is released!!!!

A true gem—educational, valuable, engaging

Very practical, concise, research-based thought leadership dealing with workplace inclusion. Comprehensive and insightful, sometimes controversial. Dr. Jonathan has an engaging and energetic presentation style. He is UK-based but provides global insights. This podcast is a breath of fresh air. I binge-listened to over 100 episodes in the first few weeks that I discovered it. This is a must-listen for anyone who is casually or professionally interested in developing best practices for inclusion in the workplace or elsewhere. It has provided a road map for me to begin work as a practitioner in DEI. The episodes are short in length yet provide plenty of meaningful content.

Excellent resource

I’ve listened to many DE&I podcasts over the past few years but somehow missed this one until recently. The content is wonky enough for subject matter experts but relatable for the average listener looking to improve their leadership skills. Highly recommend!

A refreshing voice in the space of D&I

In this podcast, Dr Jonathan brings together topics from across the D&I space and shares big ideas, book reviews, and practical action with a directness that gets right to the point. His resources allow anyone listening to follow up and take the much needed path of critical thinking so we can all be part of creating space for everyone to thrive at work and at home.

“Game Over” for freeriders!

Thanks again to Dr Jonathan for another enlightening and thought provoking episode! ERG’s are great at creating and maintaining affinity groups in organisations and lend themselves well to autonomy, but we should not lose sight of the fact they do need ongoing support and checking in by administrators of their organizations’ D&I oversight mechanism(s). It’s easy for them to be seen as a resource ‘for the public good’ to be used and abused by freeriders. A pivot in focus re inclusion as business strategy verses as public good ensures that existing systemic inequalities that D&I initiatives are tasked with dismantling are not inadvertently further entrenched by freeridership.

A Favorite Listen

Dr. Jonathan always gives insightful and timely information. The length is perfect, and he brings the facts and encourages further listening. He is helping teach people “how” to think, instead of “what” to think.

Great D&I podcast!

Excellent podcast! He’s knowledgeable on the topic and gets right to the point. The recordings are just long enough to keep your focus.

Critical activating in messaging

Listening to Jonathan and following the podcast has certainly added much value to the concerted effort now being highlighted. Performative folx have been doing the “work” without much intention of authentic success for a very long time. In fact, it’s been normalized to the point that if. It careful, it’s easier to fall in line with the Get Out tea cup. Jonathan’s efficiencies add to such an effective component of the DEI conversations we are not prepared to have globally. Until we inquire about our own conditioned biases, these buzz words will continue to trend. Thanks for the work!

An Amuse Bouche

I just started listening to Dr. Jonathan’s podcast and love them already! He has the ability to break down a complex topic into bite sized chunks. It reminds me of having a four course meal versus a one bite dish. In your four course meal, once you’re done with your appetizer, salad, main course, and dessert, you are satiated. This podcast is more like an “amuse bouche.” You get one good bite but it leaves you hungry for more which is a good learning mechanism. Stay hungry!

Wish it was just a little longer

I really enjoy this show! I am an aspiring justice, diversity, equity and inclusion expert and I learn so much. I really like the book reviews. Also because the content so good I wish the host Could go into more detail. But I still learn a lot, regardless.

Fantastic!

DEI for dummies! Love Dr Lamptey’s episodes that help me understand without overwhelming me with data. This information helps me implement new standards and points of view not only in my personal life but also in my line of work - the fashion industry.

Fantastic DEI Resource!

As a fellow DEI practitioner from the US who was looking for voices with a European lens, The Element of Inclusion podcast felt like finding a gold mine. I always look forward to Jonathan’s episodes. He’s an engaging speaker who makes DEI concepts accessible, approachable and easy to digest… just enough to give you space to reflect and think on. Highly recommended.
