    Inclusivity unscripted: The real talk between Internal Communications and ED&I

    Join me, Melody, a seasoned ED&I advocate, as we explore the symbiotic relationship between communication and inclusion. We’ll showcase how IC is the unsung hero in the ED&I narrative, empowering every voice and sparking a culture of belonging. 

    I’ve experienced first-hand how great communication can break down barriers and build bridges. We’re not just talking about sending emails or newsletters; we’re talking about shaping a culture that embraces every individual’s uniqueness as a cornerstone of our collective success. 

    This candid, chatty, and thought-provoking session that will leave you not just informed, but inspired to be the change you wish to see in your workplace. Because when it comes to inclusivity, every conversation counts. Let’s make those conversations matter.
