Creating a Culture Where Everyone Can Enter the Door as Themselves – with Natasha Hope of Hastin Ltd
Episode notes
Join Lincsus hosts Gregor Ross and Andy Wallace as they speak with Natasha Hope, Co-founder and EDI Consultant at Hastin Ltd. Hastin specialises in helping organisations build inclusive cultures where every employee can truly “enter the door as themselves”.
In this thought-provoking episode, Natasha shares the personal and professional journey that led her to co-found Hastin. From moving from the Caribbean to the UK 25 years ago to working across Banking, Recruitment, Technology and Education, Natasha reflects on the experiences that shaped her approach to inclusion, often being the only person of non-white ethnicity in her team or meetings and wondering not just where others of different backgrounds were, but who else was missing.
She explains how encountering inauthentic approaches to EDI inspired her and co-founder Chirag to create a company focused on conscious inclusion. Drawing on expertise in Recruitment, Project Delivery, Training and the Not-for-Profit sector, Hastin equips businesses with data, strategy and practical blueprints to embed evidence-based EDI practices.
Natasha also shares her vision for the future: helping leaders embrace diversity, foster accountability and unlock the richness that inclusion brings. This conversation explores why intentional culture, policy and lived experience are essential for creating workplaces where everyone belongs.
