Shola’s experiences as a black woman working for global corporations has given her an understanding of some of the challenges faced by companies as they look to create environments of empathy and belonging, and support ever-more diverse, often remote, teams. Her work allows organisations to increase innovation, bolster belonging and develop engaging, productive environments.
In her keynote Delivering Feedback with Empathy, Sholas talks about how the way feedback is delivered is crucial, and has the power to make or break careers, as well as relationships.
