LEADER TALKS WITH SARTAJ SARKARIA
Diversity and inclusion are more than just buzzwords—they are vital for creating safe and healthy workplaces and communities. However, knowing where to start and how to make a real impact can be difficult. That’s why we developed this podcast.
Hosted by Sartaj Sarkaria, President and CEO of the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion, this series features conversations with thought leaders and experts from across Canada to raise awareness, showcase DEI initiatives, and share the lived experiences that influence equity, inclusion, and diversity efforts nationwide.
Each episode is designed to showcase diverse perspectives, from neurodiverse voices to advocates of Indigenous workplace inclusion, inspiring listeners with the courage and insight needed to promote truly inclusive education, advance DEIA initiatives, and create culturally competent organizations where everyone can succeed.
Hosted by CCDI leadership, Leader Talks brings together a diverse range of voices from business, government, academia, non-profit organizations, and community groups. Each episode highlights the experiences, insights, and leadership journeys of individuals who are driving meaningful change and creating more equitable and inclusive environments. The podcast provides listeners with practical perspectives, personal stories, and actionable ideas that can be applied in workplaces, organizations, and everyday life.
The podcast serves as an extension of CCDI’s mission to support learning, encourage dialogue, and empower individuals and organizations to become agents of change. By sharing diverse perspectives and real-world experiences, Leader Talks with Sartaj Sarkaria helps listeners deepen their understanding of DEIA issues while providing inspiration for continued growth and action.
