How to foster an inclusive culture that starts with you with Louise O’Reilly

This discussion about inclusivity with Louise O’Reilly gives us strategies to overcome unconscious bias.  

Louise shares her expertise and personal experiences, emphasising the importance of acknowledging different cultures and perspectives to create an inclusive business environment.  

We discuss strategies to foster inclusivity in content and the necessity of viewing inclusivity as an integral business practice rather than an add-on or secondary aspect. 

Louise also shares her perspective on 'allyship', acknowledging privilege, and her superpower to voice out stories marking the first generation where those outside her community willingly listen and are ready for change.
