While the idea of inclusivity through language isn’t a new concept, the topic of language as a more thoughtful way of speaking for the people around us is, in the grand scheme of things, a relatively new conversation. For this reason, there are many misconceptions, and a fear of saying the “wrong thing”. Public Relations professionals hold the power to redefine communications on a structural level in organisations, and society at large, and can therefore very constructively support the experiences of people from diverse communities. In this session we will learn about the building blocks of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), why it matters in public relations, and what allyship through language looks like.

What does good communications advice look like when you’re at the board table? How do you decide what’s worth speaking about? What are the qualities of a good working relationship with your communications advisors?
For years, PR professionals have grappled with the challenge of securing a seat at the executive table. Many have laddered up to roles in Marketing, Human Resources executives, or even Legal heads.
