Episode 1: Magenta on Air
Voice is a topic which is set to grow in relevance as we further embed remote working and online connectivity. Our Magenta on Air radio show offered many valuable insights and we will continue to explore the power of voice and the incredible role it can play in shaping and influencing our daily lives and decisions. We are all exposed to ’screen overload’ and audio gives us a complementary, and powerful, alternative. As our presenter Cecile Somers-Lee concluded ‘own your voice, don’t let anyone take it away from you.’
Listen to our first podcast on 'The Voice for Diversity', with our Global Diversity Manager, Daniel Danso.
