Elizabeth Cameron - What’s Race Got To Do With It- The Impact Of Race On Workplace Mental Health

In honour of International Women’s Month, I’m joined by my friend and fellow rebel, Elizabeth Cameron.

Elizabeth is a champion of change! She is a public speaker on equalities, a personal development coach, an anti-racism advocate, and an ambassador for Show Racism the Red Card.

Today, we focus on the impact of race in the workplace and how this has been overlooked.

From her personal experiences as an employee and her time in management, Elizabeth gives us practical tips on things that can change our work culture and how we can manage racist incidents for our own mental health.

Here are the highlights from this episode:

(17:54) Turning the pain into purpose.

(26:49) It makes you value yourself less.

(30:39) Having more than just one person setting the tone.

(50:49) We can have an antiracist strategy.

(1:02:24) You’ve got another chance at this!

About the Podcast

The Wellbeing Rebellion

Welcome to The Wellbeing Rebellion, an award-winning podcast.

We’re Ngozi Weller and Obehi Alofoje, Directors at Aurora — a leadership and organisational effectiveness consultancy.

This podcast explores how the way organisations are led shapes performance, trust, wellbeing and culture over time.

The challenge with many approaches to wellbeing and culture is that they place responsibility on individuals to cope, rather than examining the leadership decisions, behaviours and systems that create the conditions people are working within.

This is where the conversation needs to shift.

On The Wellbeing Rebellion, we explore leadership behaviour, organisational systems and decision-making under pressure through honest conversations with senior leaders and advisors navigating real organisational complexity.

Some episodes are just us. Others bring in leaders and experts reflecting candidly on what works, what doesn’t, and what leadership requires in practice.

If you’re responsible for people, culture or organisational performance — and want to think more critically about how leadership shapes outcomes — this podcast is for you.
