Erin and Paul also dive into:

  • How inexperience can be a positive addition to diversity

  • Is it up to companies to educate board members, or the individual directors? 

  • The benefits of working with people from different backgrounds, skills and experiences

  • Do boards have the right controls in place to make sure the diverse voices feel important and can contribute?

  • What does Erin think will change most in the boardroom over the next 20 years?
