Spotlight on Nagela Dales

Welcome to the Spotlight Series: a series of posts shining a light on those that are driving change for gender equality, to raise awareness of their brilliant work, share useful resources and inspire with practical ways to take action. This week we’re shining a spotlight on someone we’ve had the pleasure and privilege of working with over the last year.

Nagela Dales is an unapologetic multi-hyphenated creative and business and equity strategist with a life mission to help create a radically inclusive, multi-generational economy. She is the founder of OpenHouse, they work with businesses to create more community, access and equity.

It’s rare to meet someone who wholeheartedly understands people and communities as much as Nagela does. Her ability to step into someone else’s shoes, combined with her next-level creativity, means she is constantly identifying ways to make the world a better place.

We first discovered Nagela when she was speaking at a conference about intergenerational grace (sub-titled: how not to be an a**hole to your mother while transcending to your higher self! ) A powerful talk about understanding what someone has been through. A line from the talk that we often reference in our workshops, "the way to humanise the people around you is to ask for their hardest stories."

Over the last year, we’ve been lucky enough to work with Nagela and the team at OpenHouse. She has helped us to centre empathy and community at the heart of what we do. She’s helped us to really understand our values and how to keep them front of mind. Her help has been invaluable and enabled us to see the potential of our work as a platform to drive real change.

If you are looking to create more equity, more empathy and more fun in your business (who isn’t?!) get in touch with Nagela:
