It’s About Leading a Global and Digital Inclusive Organization
Inclusive is global. Divides in business are real: digital, linguistic, and cultural.
When organizations need to work, thrive, and lead people who are different from one another, how can they make the most of those differences?
In this presentation, Neeley shares the policies and practices that determine success—or failure—when navigating business divides. She also incorporates case studies from Harvard Business School to illustrate how organizations can build more inclusive and effective global teams.
Diversity, Inclusion, and Your Business
The most diverse companies are often the most innovative.
Despite the benefits of diversity, many employees continue to face barriers to leadership opportunities and inclusion. In this moderated session, Neeley discusses what organizations can do to drive meaningful cultural change so that both businesses and employees can thrive.
The Language of Global Success
For nearly three decades, English has served as the lingua franca of cross-border organizations. Yet global businesses continue to face daily challenges stemming from linguistic and cultural misunderstandings.
In this presentation, Neeley explores effective strategies for leading linguistically and culturally diverse teams and shares how organizations can integrate language and communication practices that set employees up for success.
Remote Work Revolution
The rapid and unprecedented changes brought on by COVID-19 accelerated the shift to remote work, requiring organizations around the world to migrate quickly to virtual environments.
As managers and employees adapted to new ways of working, organizations faced challenges around leadership, communication, productivity, and engagement.
In this presentation, Neeley shares practical strategies for leading virtually, keeping teams motivated, selecting the right digital tools, and maintaining productivity in a remote work environment.
