With varying age groups present in the modern workforce, it is becoming ever more important to build understanding across generational divides. This keynote focuses on improving your workforce’s understanding and empathy skills in order to cultivate a more inclusive culture. Participants will gain insights on how to foster an environment where individual differences are celebrated, leading to improved teamwork and increased employee engagement.
Highlighting how diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) should be seen as a superpower rather than a challenge to be solved. Diversity is akin to valuable puzzle pieces scattered across different demographics. By bringing together the right collection of these pieces from around the world, organizations can unlock opportunities to create unique and non-commoditized outputs. Such organizations are constantly able to innovate as they foster new experiences.
Unconscious bias training often gets a bad rap as it’s seen as divisive and ineffective. This empowering session goes beyond that, giving your people practical, accessible tools and strategies to challenge bias when they see it. It can often be hard to call out biased behaviour – especially when it’s from managers and clients. This session will help you initiate conversations grounded in curiosity, empathy and a desire to learn, which ultimately may help you achieve more than an off-the-cuff ‘put down’ or quick rebuke. You’ll also discover ways to set up your teams for success by creating conditions that favour bias-free decision making. If you’re just getting started on your D.E.I. Journey, this session, or the keynote on Empathy, is a great place to begin!
