Tasneem Chopra is a Professional Disruptor and an AntiRacism Champion. Her message is clear - there are so many Diversity & Inclusion roles out there, why does so much of the focus stop with Gender? This is a powerful conversation where we question how “equitable” became a dirty word, how giving space up at the table isn’t popular thinking but it’s necessary to get change. We talk about growing up in rural Victoria and the experience of wearing a HIjab in Melbourne, Australia post 9/11. Tasneem’s leadership stands out. I often say being in the room with other leaders catapulted my growth. Spending time with Tasneem will do that for anyone. Tasneem was the inaugural 2021 Ambassador for Women of Colour, was awarded an OAM (Order of Australia Medal) in 2020 and has been named an Anti-Racism Champion by the Australian Human Rights Commission. Tasneem also has a Board Chairing role for the Australian Muslim Women’s Centre for Human Rights. Words are powerful, how you say them makes an even bigger impact.

Addressing a room full of CEOs, I jokingly asked them to share their best knowing nod face with me. Do we have the answers? It seems not when it comes to retaining our top female talent. Join me as I share the #1 question CEOs ask me, and how I can help them retain and elevate female talent. I share 3 real case studies of incredible talent and how a combination of painting a picture, untangling assumptions about roles and challenging insatiable leaders demands is all part of the solution.
