From email tone to meeting dynamics, the way we communicate shapes who feels included. This session breaks down everyday language choices and introduces simple, actionable shifts that help teams communicate with care across roles, identities, and cultures.
Why this matters:
Communication is culture in action. When people don’t feel heard, misrepresented, or talked over, it erodes trust and belonging. Inclusive communication isn’t just about being “nice”, it’s about making sure everyone has access to information, influence, and respect. This session helps teams build habits that create clarity, connection, and safety - which are foundational for a better world of work.
dani herrera (she/her) is an award-winning talent and culture strategist with nearly 20 years of experience in leadership, equity, and workplace strategy. She helps teams build inclusive, people-first workplaces by making workplaces work through intentional inclusion.
She’s known for blending humor, honesty, and strategy to make feedback, leadership, and culture work actually feel human (and even a little fun).
