Session: How Tech Can Spark Conversations for Change (Empathy + Tech = Change)
As an openly trans woman with decades of experience in the corporate tech space, Natalie has a unique vantage point when it comes to merging the human-centric importance of diversity, equity, & inclusion with the analytical needs of businesses.Our identities, challenges, traumas, privileges, and everything else that makes us who we are, don't leave us when we walk through the door of our workplace. Rather than hiding the most human parts of ourselves, it's time to create work environments that not only respect the individualities of their employees but actively seek to foster safe spaces that allow every person to be their whole selves, rather than a watered-down 'biz friendly' version.
The only way we can truly make these changes is by having difficult conversations. To do this, we need to get more comfortable having challenging conversations, the ones often avoided. In this session, we will facilitate an interactive digital experience exploring both the why and how to host difficult conversations highlighting how technology can help build empathy and support facilitation.
