Aflevering #32 | Peter Zerp | "Procurement With Purpose"

?Journeys of Empowerment? - Episode 32 Procurement with Purpose: Peter’s Path to Inclusion & Authenticity What if your professional role became a gateway to create systemic change in business and in society? I had the honour of speaking with Peter Zerp, Inclusive procurement strategy expert at Accenture, ESDP board chair and NGO board member. His journey of resilience, empowerment and transformation is a true testament to defying expectations and creating meaningful change. In our conversation, we explored key challenges, turning points and the moments that reshaped his path to success. What we explored: ???? Inclusive procurement: making supplier diversity a strategic priority in global business; ???? Authenticity at work: the courage to bring your whole self into professional spaces; ???? Overcoming bias: the daily effort it takes to unlearn assumptions and open doors; ???? Redefining success: moving from status and titles to meaning and fulfillment; ???? Personal reflection & growth: why looking inward might be the most radical act of all! Nuggets of empowerment: ???? “Diversity isn’t a ‘nice-to-have’...it’s a necessity for real progress” ???? “Authenticity means being honest with yourself first and then with the world” ???? “Everyone has something special. We just need to create space for it to be seen” Connect with Peter: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterzerp/  Learn more about ESDP | Empowering ethnic minority businesses: -  Website: https://esdp-org.eu  Struggling to create lasting behavior change?
