23: The Gap Between Being Included and Holding Power

Episode 23

Thursday, July 30, 2026 • Duration 27:14

Bree talks with William Ward-Boas, a proud Autistic and First Nations advocate with intellectual disability from the LGBTIQA+ community, about what genuine co-design requires and why most organisations aren't actually doing it. Drawing upon over seven years' experience across the advocacy sector, William draws a sharp line between consultation and co-design, unpacks the trauma embedded in asking people to share lived experience without knowing where it will lead, and reflects on actively sharing power as they moved from project worker to board chair. The episode closes on William's framework: being invited into a room isn't influence, being consulted isn't being listened to, and being present isn't having power.

22: Racial equality, but on whose terms?

Episode 22

Thursday, July 16, 2026 • Duration 27:49

Andrea joins Bree for an honest conversation about what anti-racism actually requires inside Australian workplaces, and why most organisations get it wrong. Drawing on her own experience as a woman of colour navigating largely white public sector organisations, Andrea unpacks the difference between individual racist behaviour and structural racism, why "I don't see colour" invalidates the people it's meant to reassure, and who really gets to decide what equality looks like. The conversation turns to workplace complaints processes, and Andrea is direct about the harm they cause: all-white investigators and decision-makers, the expectation that you educate the organisation about your own experience, and the people who quietly stop reporting because they know it will go nowhere. A grounded look at what leaders need to do differently, from racial literacy to actually handing over power.

21: AI and DEI: it's not either/or

Episode 21

Thursday, July 2, 2026 • Duration 18:53

In this episode of DEI Will Not DIE, Bree Gorman takes on one of the most charged topics in the field right now: artificial intelligence, and what it means for diversity, equity and inclusion.

Rather than landing on whether AI is "good" or "bad" for inclusion, Bree makes the case that it is both at once. It creates genuine access and equity for people who have long been excluded, while at the same time amplifying bias and challenging the job security of the most marginalised employees.

Bree draws on their own experience as an ADHD practitioner, the realities of AI in recruitment, and research showing how biased systems can make the people who use them more biased over time. They also look ahead to the uneven impact of job losses, and why reskilling and support can't be an afterthought.

A grounded, practical conversation about using these tools with your eyes open: holding onto the equity gains while actively designing against the harms.

20: Ripples of Inclusion: Anti-racism as a gateway with Carrie Sawyer

Episode 20

Thursday, June 18, 2026 • Duration 31:47

Bree's first international guest, Carrie Sawyer, joins to talk about her book Ripples of Inclusion. a question-and-answer guide to anti-racism that grew out of the conversations people were having after the murder of George Floyd in 2020. Carrie and Bree dig into why "can't we just get along?" is more loaded than it sounds, how privilege becomes harmful through gaslighting rather than its existence alone, and what allyship looks like beyond good intentions. Carrie also shares the story of her six-year-old niece's Black Lives Matter lemonade stand and what happened when the neighbourhood showed up.

19: When Structure Does the Inclusion Work for You

Episode 19

Thursday, June 4, 2026 • Duration 26:45

In this episode of DEI Will Not DIE, Bree Gorman is joined by Dr. Judy Lundy to explore what becomes possible when organisations build a structure that doesn't rely on a traditional hierarchy.

Judy shares her lifelong connection to equity, from being told at 14 that she couldn't train guide dogs because she was a girl, to her current work teaching and researching diversity, equity and inclusion. Together, Bree and Judy unpack how traditional hierarchical workplaces can unintentionally limit inclusion, even when there is a strong intent to do better.

The conversation challenges the idea that inclusion can be achieved through surface-level initiatives alone. Instead, it highlights the role of organisational design in shaping equity outcomes, and why leaders need to be willing to share power if they want to see meaningful change.

A thoughtful and practical conversation about moving beyond performative DEI, creating environments where people feel safe to contribute, and taking tangible steps toward more inclusive ways of working.

18: ADHD at Work: One Size Does Not Fit All (Part 2)

Episode 18

Thursday, May 21, 2026 • Duration 19:53

In part two of their ADHD series, Dr Bree Gorman shifts from friction points to practical strategies for managers, peers, and people with ADHD themselves. Bree unpacks what actually helps ADHDers thrive at work: redefining productivity away from desk time, building structured flexibility, breaking work into chunks, reducing cognitive load, and normalising different working styles. They also call out the workplace cultures that quietly make things harder from rigid hybrid models and two-hour meetings to glorifying burnout. Grounded in lived experience and six years of focus groups, this episode is a honest, practical guide to designing work that gets the best out of neurodivergent employees and frankly, many other people too.

17: Built to Exclude: Why Disabled Leaders Are Still Underrepresented

Episode 14

Thursday, May 7, 2026 • Duration 29:33

In this episode of DEI Will Not DIE, Dr Bree Gorman is joined by leadership coach, speaker, and CEO of the Disability Leadership Institute, Christina Ryan, to explore the barriers disabled leaders face, and what it really takes to design workplaces that work for everyone. Together, they unpack the assumptions that sit beneath traditional leadership development, why disability is so often misunderstood or hidden in the workplace, and the real reasons disabled people are still underrepresented in leadership. Christina shares the top barriers disabled leaders face, and challenges organisations to move beyond surface-level inclusion efforts toward meaningful system change. This conversation goes beyond representation, reframing disability as a powerful lens for rethinking how work is designed — from flexibility and job structure to leadership expectations and performance. Because when we build systems that support disabled people to lead and thrive, we create better, more effective workplaces for everyone.

Episode 16

Thursday, April 23, 2026 • Duration 21:17

15: Intersex Inclusion at Work: Why Adding the 'I' Isn't Enough

Episode 15

Thursday, April 9, 2026 • Duration 28:34

In this episode of DEI Will Not DIE, Dr Bree Gorman is joined by Paul Byrne-Moroney to unpack what meaningful inclusion of the intersex community actually requires.

Paul shares his lived experience to challenge common misunderstandings about intersex, including the tendency to conflate biological sex with gender identity. Together, Bree and Paul explore why intersex is not a gender identity or sexuality, and why that distinction matters.

This episode calls out the gap between intention and impact when organisations use the full LGBTIQA acronym without engaging the intersex community. Bree and Paul discuss how this shows up in practice, from conference presentations to the use of Pride flags, and why adding the "I" without consultation is not progress.

This is a practical and honest conversation about moving beyond performative inclusion, being transparent about your scope, and building approaches grounded in genuine engagement, accountability, and respect.

14: It's More Than Pronouns: Building Real Trans Inclusion at Work

Episode 14

Thursday, March 26, 2026 • Duration 22:54

In this episode of DEI Will Not DIE, Dr Bree Gorman explores what meaningful trans and gender diverse inclusion actually looks like inside organisations.

Bree challenges the common starting point of "rolling out pronouns" and explains why visibility initiatives alone do not create safer workplaces. Instead, real inclusion requires organisations to examine the systems and structures that shape people's daily experience at work, including HR databases, payroll systems, policies, and the ways identity data is collected and used.
Drawing on their experience supporting organisations across multiple sectors, Bree explains why gender affirmation policies are a foundational step for protecting trans and gender diverse employees.

This episode is a practical conversation about moving beyond good intentions and building workplaces where trans and gender diverse people are genuinely safe, respected, and supported.
