In her signature keynote, TEDx speaker, trainer and author, Elena Joy, inspires her audiences to speak up and create a culture of allyship and belonging. Elena Joy moves her audiences to both tears and laughter as she integrates her stories of life as a Mormon mom of four who lost her marriage, her church, and her community when she came out as a lesbian, with actionable ways to increase authentic inclusive leadership through allyship. Through a solid foundation of Inclusive Leadership, participants will understand a deeper meaning of Allyship, whether you’re trying to increase inclusivity around race, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, age, etc. We will look at all the skills that are required to be a good ally, and we can use role plays that are appropriate based on what your organization is grappling with. In this experience, we will identify key behaviors that demonstrate allyship, learn to speak up on behalf of one’s self and members of marginalized groups while also developing a new language to apologize for causing harm.
Drinks and hors d’oeuvreswill be served at 2. Session will begin at 2:30.
