113: Diversity, marketing, and an honest conversation about race with Ida Asare
Meet Ida Asare from On a Heal
In today’s conversation, I chat with Ida Asare from On a Heal. Ida is a therapist and coach for women in business who want to get things done. We chat about productivity, and her strategies to leverage it. We also talk about race. As a woman of colour here in Australia, Ida has a unique perspective that we can all learn from. We’re going deep today. I ask questions about token invites, things white people should stop saying and the best way to respond if someone “calls you out”.
Ida is a productivity coach and mentor, using her background as a counsellor and psychotherapist to help women overcome the barriers that stop them from doing the things they need to do and building a life that they love. She mostly works with women in business, and her strategies are simple, effective and unique.
If you want to learn more about the importance of being inclusive as a brand, and doing so with the right motives, this episode is for you. Ida offers us honest, helpful ways we as people and brands can be more authentically diverse in our businesses.
