Engaging All Allies: Moving from Awareness to Advocacy

Keynote Objectives

The latest McKinsey research highlights the realities (and myths) hindering women in the workplace. Lack of flexibility, corporate culture and attitudes, microaggressions, and the broken rung (which creates a persistent underrepresentation of women, particularly women of color)–must be fixed if senior leaders want to retain the best talent and halt inequitable outcomes.

Jeffery Tobias Halter’s keynote, Engaging All Allies: Moving From Awareness to Advocacy, is designed to help attendees create a deeply internalized approach to equity, with a lens of intersectionality and a sense of urgency that will drive competitive advantage in the workplace and marketplace.

Keynote Takeaways

• Examine “The Future of Work” along with the shifting workforce demographics of age and race and their impact on advancing women and other underrepresented groups.
  • Explore the barriers that women and other marginalized groups face in the workplace.
  • Discuss the four barriers and the solutions to active advocacy.
  • Prepare attendees to create 30-, 60- and 90-day action plans that put their learnings into immediate practice
