Spotlight mission
As Albert Einstein once said: “We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
At Spotlight, we believe that honest and mind-expanding conversations provide the only path to achieving truly inclusive societies and organisations.
Our human-centric focus explores D&I through experience stories instead of statistics, establishing an essential new way of thinking for reshaping individual, organisational and social perspectives.
Spotlight stands as an ever-expanding, global community of impact-makers, doers, thinkers, researchers, business leaders, field experts, innovators and ambassadors of change, each driven to share their story or expertise by shining a spotlight on the questions on all our minds.
We will both address and contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals by building a bridge to new D&I perspectives and cultures. Lights on!
Spotlight founder
Let's finally get concrete about fostering D&I in our workplaces, rather than just talking about it or implementing tick-the-box measures that lead nowhere.
Yevgeniya Averhed
Founder
Hi, I'm Yevgeniya. The idea behind Spotlight was born out of frustration, both as an employer and as a Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) expert. As an employer, I often found myself inspired by conferences and training sessions on D&I, yet struggled to translate that inspiration into actionable practices. Similarly, as a D&I expert, I frequently received assignments to develop policies without the necessary analysis, data, or understanding of the company's specific needs. While conducting numerous training sessions and delivering speeches, I grew weary of seeing how little tangible progress this "ticking the boxes" approach generated. It is a clear dissonance with how we approach other aspects of business, such as financials or product development.
