Cultural Agility: What Leaders Need to Know Now

For organizations working across borders and cultures
The map has changed. From shifting laws to rising nationalism, from cultural flashpoints to tightening speech policies, global organizations are navigating inclusion in an entirely new landscape. What worked five years ago—or even last quarter—won’t cut it today.
This talk equips leaders with a candid, data-backed view of what’s really happening around the world, and what it means for inclusion strategy. We share patterns we’re seeing across regions—where companies are pulling back, where they’re adapting with integrity, and where new forms of inclusion are emerging under the radar.
We explore the tensions global teams are facing: When do you go quiet, and when do you speak up? How do you honor local context without compromising your values? And how do you lead when the ground is always shifting?
Expect real case studies, sharp insight, and grounded advice from our research in more than five countries—spanning gender, race, LGBTQ+ identity, and the systems reshaping global talent.
