Can better communication skills provide DEI solutions?

In this IIL inclusion and diversity webinar, Priscilla Pollara talks about how better communication and more effective communicative skills can impact and provide solutions for DEI and equip us with styles that lead to more inclusive relationships and conversations.

Why is being open about yourself now termed personal branding? Why isn't networking and the enormous advantages gained through it - confidence, mind expansion, education - not prioritised in every office? Let us break barriers down and instead create safe spaces and environments where people feel comfortable being themselves and talking about themselves, everywhere.

In a world where impressions are made quickly and silently, Priscilla asks, can we all collectively challenge our unconscious biases towards people to judge them fairly? Happy cohesive working environments are the goal. Understanding the benefits of coming together and sharing differences, braiding experiences together to build bridges, show empathy, devise intelligent plans, and create a more inclusive atmosphere, ultimately serves directly into the success of a unified working setting.

This session’s aim is to get everyone talking (about themselves and to each other) to create a playing field so open and judgement-free so that we finally all do speak to each other and generate better outcomes from our teamwork.

Learning objectives:

• How can better communication create a more level playing field for all employees and better outcomes in equality?
• How would finding more confidence in communication lead to and improve workplace environments and motivate people?
• How does a difficulty to be understood affect our performance in a work setting, and how we are seen by our peers?
