She has been called on to deliver these sessions in the US, UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Africa with a focus on what inclusion looks like in the 21st century, how inclusion can be leveraged to build agile teams who can better respond to a rapidly changing marketplace and addressing the barriers that stand in the way of achieving this.
