  7. (1) If you have something of value to share do it. Make diversity core to your business case and look outwards. Don’t be shy to monetise it. Smaller responsive, diverse organisations should feel confident they can be hotbeds of learning that can be of real value to others. The arts sector needs you more than ever.

  8. (2) Talk to and involve people – and listen. Be open to accepting deeper change may be needed within your organisational culture to support meaningful inclusive practices that truly engage, value and empower. Invest the time required for ongoing review to develop resilience.

  9. (3) Be excited about the MULTIPLICITY of your team and the treasures it holds. Invest in staff training and identify your internal assets within your team. Role model an OPEN and GROWTH mindset united around your core values. Welcome failure and discomfort as vital to that learning!
