“The best time to start conversations around inclusion and identity is now, and James helped our Diversity & Inclusion Committee do just that. We had the opportunity to have James as our Inclusion Workshop Leader and he was wonderful. He was available before, during and after, to discuss our needs and wants, and followed-up to ensure we received everything we sought after. The workshop itself was engaging and easy to follow. I hope we have the opportunity to work and learn with him in the near future.” Anita, DHL Supply Chain
