Testimonial

I have known Talmud for many years and from early on he became someone I knew I could always rely on for a wise and insightful perspective. He is patient and listens no matter the subject and will always think deeply before giving advice. He has on many occasions shown that he knows my heart and mind as well as I do, and he has a wonderful ability to make you feel powerful and good about yourself no matter the challenges you think you face.

Vincent Neate

Former Head of Sustainability Services and Partner, KPMG UK

Talmud is an accomplished professional trainer who practices compassion and integrity in his dealing with clients. Talmud was commissioned by the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Staff Network at the University of Westminster and met with its committee to design a program that could respond to the needs of BME staff in developing appropriate skills for emotional intelligence while working in a diverse and demanding learning environment. Talmud was sensitive to our requests and concerns and listened carefully to committee members as they discussed their experiences. Subsequently, he produced a comprehensive programme in a timely manner that could help the team explore the current landscape, develop necessary skills in coping, resilience and be better equipped to feed forward their learning from the programme to senior managers in order to effect change.

We would not hesitate to recommend Talmud to other groups and organisations wishing to throw a diversity lens on their current challenges'.

Dr. Deborah Husbands

Co-Chair, BME Staff Network, University of Westminster

Talmud and his team go well beyond the initial steps of identifying conscious or unconscious bias and working to have diverse groups work together at a base level. They move much higher up the achievement chain in creating true understandings, that embrace the completeness and incredible value of our differences in transforming the organisations that they work with.

We recommend any organisation work closely and at length with Talmud and his team in unlocking the true potential of your organisation'.

L. Warren Pimm

Former founding Partner at Sustainable Development Capital LLP, Partner, and Sr. Managing Director, Pan American Finance

Talmud’s programme will be of great benefit in the UK.

This Unconscious bias training is innovative and looks at micro inequities, implicit bias, metacognition, divergent thinking, effective communication and relationship building’.

Janet Daby MP

Member of Parliament, House Of Commons, UK

Talmud has a unique ability seen in the best of trainers and facilitators: Through his gentle, probing spirit and diverse toolkit, he creates space for discovery, innovation, necessary discomfort, and solutions. He makes the difficult seem effortless. The tense becomes playful. The opaque turns clear.

Jeremy Phillips

Jeremy Phillips Consulting, US

I've worked with Talmud both in the UK and abroad, in my capacity as a senior police officer whilst working with Open Society Foundations as an advisor when looking at the issue of racism, discrimination and unconscious bias in policing. I found Talmud to be a calm, intelligent, insightful person who developed great relationships with people and was able to support their development. He is a skilled trainer/facilitator and a pleasure to work with.

Nick Glynn

Senior Program Officer, Open Society Foundations

Talmud was asked to work with Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust to support the work across racially diverse communities  with the aims of understanding the experiences of ethnically diverse groups when receiving Mental Health care, engaging with people from ethnically diverse backgrounds and listen to their experiences; with an aim to create better experiences of mental healthcare for ethnically diverse communities and to consider to what extent implicit and unconscious bias, has an impact on the quality and level of care received by ethnically diverse groups and communities.

Talmud visited the Trust and held a series of focus groups to gain information from service users, his approach was always calm, compassionate and friendly, enabling service users to openly discuss their experiences with him in a calm environment.

These focus groups enable a report to be written and supported the Trust with its on-going work relating to Seni’s Law and the reducing restrictions practice, as well as supported the workforce inclusivity education programme around allyship, emotional intelligence and to encourage courageous conversations of bystanders. This Trust will now be moving forward with this work and further work relating to the Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework. I would recommend Talmud to support organisations in this essential area of improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we get asked the most.

What does equality diversity and Inclusion mean?

Equality

Equality is about ensuring everybody has an equal opportunity and is not treated differently or discriminated against because of their characteristics.

Diversity

Diversity and inclusion are two interconnected concepts—but they are far from interchangeable. Diversity is about representation or the make-up of an entity. 

Diversity: Having different types of people from a wide range of identities with different 

perspectives, experiences, etc. 

Inclusion

Inclusion is about how well the contributions, presence and perspectives of different groups of people are valued and integrated into an environment. 

Inclusion: Putting diversity into action by creating an environment of involvement, respect, 

and connection – where the richness of ideas, backgrounds, and perspectives are harnessed 

to create value.

What are the benefits of equality, diversity and Inclusion for my business?

A diverse and inclusive workplace, produces a wide range of benefits:

It attracts new talent with different perspectives and innovative ideas, and to retain existing members of staff.

Workplaces with a diverse workforce are better able to understand and interact with a wider range of customers, giving them an advantage over competitors.

Creating a diverse workplace with equal opportunities can help employees to reach their full potential and increase the value they provide to the organisation.

Promoting equality and diversity can also help to avoid complaints of discrimination, and the legal and financial costs that are associated with such complaints.

How is Equity different from Equality?

Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities. Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome.

What is Unconscious Bias?

Implicit or unconscious bias happens by our brains making incredibly quick judgments and assessments of people without us realizing.

What will I be able to do on completing this course?

  • Become more inclusive, cultivate equality and foster wellbeing.
  • To create a greater sense of safety and belonging in your business.
  • To cultivate stronger resilience and ability to adapt to change in your teams.
  • Be more equipped to discuss and manage equality issues.
  • Have improved conflict resolution and problem-solving skills.
  • To attract more diverse talent.
  • Have increased empathy and understanding of both a diverse workforce and customer needs.
