Keynotes
Keynote by Joy Wiggins:
Women in Leadership
Dr. Wiggins delivers transformative keynotes on women in leadership that explore the historical context of gender inequality and empower participants to navigate their career journeys with confidence. Her talks focus on building inclusive communities, addressing unconscious biases, and fostering solidarity among women, equipping attendees with actionable strategies to create equitable environments in their personal and professional lives.
Keyote by Joy Wiggins:
Implicit Biases & Microagressions
Implicit bias refers to the unconscious attitudes or stereotypes that influence how we think, act, and make decisions. These biases often go unnoticed but are rooted in systemic discrimination and barriers. Over time, they can show up as microaggressions—small but harmful comments or actions that can slowly damage a
person’s confidence and sense of belonging in the workplace. In my workshops, we explore how to unmask these biases in ourselves so we can understand each other better and create systems and organizations that work for everyone.
Keynote by Joy Wiggins:
Inter/Cross Cultural Communication
We explore how communication varies across different cultural groups. By examining perspectives shaped by others' lived experiences, participants gain a deeper understanding of how to connect meaningfully across differences. Through storytelling and perspective-taking exercises, we develop empathic listening skills that foster inclusion and strengthen relationships.
Keyote by Joy Wiggins:
Conflict Resolution
Based on mediation theories and approaches, we explore how we can suspend our judgements and assumptions about what we think we know and listen to another person’s perspective.
Keynote by Joy Wiggins:
Intersectionality
We examine the intersections of our various identities and how they affect opportunities, barriers and experiences.
