Helen was asked to contribute to a Forbes article ‘7 Ways to Power Up Your Leadership’

“For today’s leaders, one style definitely does not fit all,” explains Helen May, founder of diversity and inclusion consultancy and author of Everyone Included: How to improve belonging, diversity and inclusion in your team.

“In a world of hybrid working, belonging and wellbeing are critical priorities, so leadership must become identity-centred. That means getting to know each team member individually, recognizing their individual needs and becoming a facilitator who supports unique talents.”

This isn’t hard to do, according to May. She says: “Just one simple question, asked regularly, can make the world of difference: ‘How can I make your life better?’”

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
