We like to think we are treated equally. That we are open-minded, nice and fair. But what happens when we realize that what we perceive as “perfectly ordinary” is really just what happens to suit us best? This lecture is a friendly but accurate guide for all of us who rarely notice the obstacles, because they have never really been in our way.

In a humorous and inclusive way, we explore the privileges, norms and everyday behaviors that — often completely unconsciously — make some people fit and others don't. You'll get concrete tools on how to create true diversity by using your position to open doors, not stand in their way.

It's not about guilt. It's about understanding, acting and contributing to environments where more people feel: “Here I get to be myself too.”

A lecture for those who want to make a difference. At Truth.Sofia Book is a consultant in leadership and management team development. With 20 years of experience in leadership development and talent management in global organizations, she helps companies develop and empower their leaders.
