Diverse Minds in Your Organisation

I understand that organisations have to spin plates and managers are under a lot of pressure. This is how Diverse Minds was born. Diverse Minds is founded by me, Leyla Okhai, a coach, mediator, inclusion and wellbeing practitioner with over seventeen years’ experience.

As the former Head of the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Centre at Imperial College London. I have been a senior leader, knowing what it’s like to navigate this tightrope. As the CEO of Diverse Minds I have worked with ASOS.com, FarFetch, Science Museum Group, International Rescue Committee, JKR Global, Mother London, North East London NHS Trust, Tetra Tech Europe, and the University of London to name a few to improve mental health and wellbeing. I also coach individuals on a 1-2-1 basis.
