        Accents at Work     

        Overcoming accent bias and building a linguistically inclusive workplace

        When it comes to Diversity and Inclusion, only one hidden bias remains: the way we speak. Reaching far beyond non-offensive language, this talk examines how we judge people (in every language) from the moment they open their mouths.

         

        Where do these biases come from? How do they affect hiring and promotion decisions? Why is our preference for eloquent speakers in leadership so dangerous?

         

        This eye-opening talk will have you speaking and listening to everyone around you in a new and different way.
