A very Smart Connector: Ian Clarke in conversation with Jane Bayler

Ian Clarke appeared on 'The Smart Connector' with Jane Bayler to explain how any one person has the power to change the outcome of humanity's journey for the better, if only we can learn to think differently.

The topics of discussion included:

  • The DE&I campaign that shook the world of banking, broke 5 world records and ended Ian's career

  • Whistleblowing and the treatment of Whistleblowers

  • The value of difference and how businesses can prepare for change

“No calamity here! I was delighted when Jane graciously invited me to explain why we have to start loving our differences (Spoiler Alert! Because without uniqueness we're nothing special). And the good work being undertaken by Deilight to help businesses become more sustainable and lucrative (Spoiler Alert! Because it’s commercial, not just correct).

"Men are stronger than women, in that they have more upper body strength. But that's just one nuance of the answer. Women are also stronger than men. They live longer, develop earlier and are more durable."

Financial markets connect investors to borrowers, multiplying and redistributing wealth within economies. But increasingly, that redistribution no longer appears equitable, threatening trust in the financial system. We looked at where regulators fit in the D&I equation.
