"It’s not just about fairness or justice - DEI done right is about higher profit, better outcomes, and healthier workplaces."
– Paulo Gaudiano, author of ‘Measuring Inclusion’ and Business Book Awards finalist

In this timely conversation (part of our ‘Meet our 2025 BBA Finalists’ series), Paulo explains why diversity, equity, and inclusion must be measured - not just talked about - and how an analytical, data-driven approach can reduce backlash while improving both employee well-being and business results.

He shares his journey from academic research and entrepreneurial R&D to helping organisations understand DEI as a driver of stronger businesses and better workplaces.

‘Successful business is really just about making yourself useful in a way that matters to you - and to others.’
– Dr Bob Gomersall, author of ‘Worthwhile Wealth’ and Business Book Awards finalist.

"Redundancy is increasingly the way most people leave a company - and being prepared makes all the difference."
– Adam Forbes, author of ‘Corporate Escapology’ and Business Book Awards finalist

In this timely conversation (part of our ‘Meet our 2025 BBA Finalists’ series), Adam Forbes, author of ‘Corporate Escapology’, shares why the book is just as relevant today as when he wrote it — helping people face leaving their job, whether by choice or due to unexpected redundancy, with confidence, clarity, and a sense of value.

He talks about the post-Covid shift in our relationship with work, the rise of hybrid working, and how creating space to try new things can open up unexpected opportunities.

‘We all have these human competencies – empathy, kindness, vulnerability – but culture beats them out of us. It’s time we brought them back into business.’
– Philippa White, author of ‘Return on Humanity’ and Business Book Awards finalist

In this energising conversation (part of our Meet our 2025 BBA Finalists series), Philippa shares how two decades of work across global sectors revealed a truth too often ignored in leadership circles: putting people first isn’t just the right thing to do - it’s the smart thing to do.

She talks about bridging cultures, breaking business moulds, and why humanity is not just just a “nice-to-have” policy but a business imperative if you want to succeed.

‘There’s kind of an acceptance that becoming a working parent is hard, and that’s just it. You just have to accept it. And I really want to change that.’
– Catherine Oliver, author of ‘Working Parents-to-Be’, 2025 Business Book Awards finalist

In this insightful conversation (part of our ‘Meet our 2025 BBA Finalists’ series), Catherine Oliver shares how her personal experience and frustration at the lack of support for new parents became a mission to change the culture of work for the better.
