Greatness Podcast (Ep 118) | Bill Proudman of White Men as Full Diversity Partners Discusses Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Greatness Podcast

Bill Proudman co-founded White Men as Full Diversity Partners (WMFDP) 30 years ago to work with leaders at the intersection of equity and inclusion - helping leaders be the stewards of an inclusive culture with courage, consciousness, and competency. Bill is a white man who had the courage to "follow his heart" three decades ago when he realized that a "whole bunch of people around the globe were having a very different experience than I was" and these differences were not "out there", they were important to him. WMFDP works with leaders on creating a culture where people feel they belong - feel seen, connected, proud, and supported. This isn't about attacking or criticizing white men. "This isn't a blame and shame game". It's a system where certain people have "systemic unearned benefits" and we as leaders need to be present to that in working towards inclusion.
