Embracing Intersectionality: Tackling Bias and Championing Inclusive Leadership in Communication

Fireside chat, Sevilla Room, InterContinental Miami

This thought-provoking fireside chat will delve into the impact of technology on biases and prejudices in communication and highlight the barriers and challenges companies face in inclusive leadership and how they can overcome them.

The session will examine the evolution of leadership towards greater consciousness and explore how companies can promote intersectionality beyond gender, encompassing race, culture, social and economic status in their communication.

Key takeaways include:

  • With the use of algorithms and data, technology has the potential to reinforce existing prejudices and biases, perpetuating stereotypes and discrimination.
  • Intersectionality is key to promoting inclusivity: Intersectionality acknowledges that an individual’s identity is made up of multiple factors, such as race, gender, culture, and social and economic status. Companies must take a holistic approach to promoting inclusivity in their communication by considering these intersecting identities.
  • Conscious leadership involves a greater awareness and understanding of issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Companies must adopt conscious leadership practices and strategies to create a more inclusive workplace culture.
