Listen Then Speak

Examining Our Own Implicit Bias - Sejal Thakkar (Part 2)

Episode Summary

In this episode of Listen Then Speak, I had the opportunity to chop it up with Ted Talker, keynote speaker, and Legal Expert Sejal Thakkar. Today she's crushing the Diversity and Inclusion Space with a hot fire that is needed in this day and age. Her confidence and poise is one of the cornerstones of who she is. We really dug well beneath the surface and held the mirror to ourselves when it came to matters of diversity and inclusion. We had so much ground to cover that this episode came in two parts with different titles. The last half of our conversation focuses on implicit biases that we all carry and gives practical ways to examine our own bias as we navigate to a place of wholeness and TRUE diversity and inclusion. Buckle your seatbelt folks, this will not be your normal one sided conversation on DE&I, but we're sure the value will be sky high.
