Dont confuse getting noticed with being seen - Abi Adamson

Today, we laugh, we get real and candid around the experience of a Black woman navigating the corporate space. Despite working hard and the impact of the work being felt, my guest was overlooked, and that experience profoundly shaped her.

My guest today is Abi Adamson (she/her/hers) the award-winning Founder & DEI Director of The Diversity Partnership (TDP). Quoted in the New York Times as one of the "Stars of Black LinkedIn", Abi is often described as the future of diversity and inclusion thought leaders.

Abi has built global DEI culture strategies for some of the worlds best-known companies, including American Express, Google, Spotify and Wise and is a trusted voice for the media and has been featured in leading publications discussing DEI issues, including the Metro, Training Journal, People Management and HR Zone.

In this conversation, Abi discusses topics such as:

Film Production and Not Wanting To Be A Starving Artist

Hiring equitably and Nepotism

Being overlooked and not seen as less than despite evidence to the contrary

Choosing peace of mind over legal recourse and a payout

The power in your Nigerian name and not getting to switch off your identity

Utilising what you have inside of you despite painful external circumstances

How a video on Linkedin changed her life and the importance of using your voice

Learning how to humble brag
