In this episode of Working with Identities, I sit down with Tatjana, a DEI and culture expert, consultant, and coach, to explore interculturality in leadership

Interculturality and leadership

We’re delving into the concept of intersectionality—where different aspects of identity, such as race, gender, and sexuality, intersect and influence experiences. Our guests Alex, Magda, and Viole share generously from their personal experience and experience as change creators to discuss why it’s crucial to understand these overlapping identities when working towards true inclusion.

Our podcast "Working with Identities" continues to explore the power of dialogue. In this episode, we’re discussing the importance of creating safe spaces for open conversations in the workplace. This isn’t just about physical spaces, but about building trust and fostering an environment where everyone feels comfortable to speak up.  I had the opportunity to be joined by Agustina and Silka, two experts in creating these environments.
