"Cultural Sensitivity for the Accidentally Insensitive"

Back by popular demand, we are continuing the conversation for Part 2 with Miss Shannan Paul in September. We will be diving in on the discussion of inclusion and neurodiversity. Miss Shannan Paul uses personal anecdotes and real-world situations to teach her audience how to not "be that person" who blindly walks into an awkward situation.

 

Outcomes:

1.  Stereotype dismantling

2.  Pitfalls and stumbles: How do we rebound after a cultural faux pas?

3.  How can our industry be more inclusive toward neurodiverse communities and other cultures
