Stereotypes & Accents: The Overlooked Bias Undermining Performance

Hosted by Akua Nyame-Mensah — Leadership & Culture Advisor

In a globally connected workplace, communication is constant, but understanding isn’t guaranteed. Accent and stereotype biases continue to influence who is heard, trusted, and seen as credible.

This live conversation explores how these often-overlooked dynamics impact performance, inclusion, and leadership effectiveness and what leaders can do about it.

We will talk about how to:

⫸ Identify hidden bias tied to communication styles and accents

⫸ Shift from assumption-driven leadership to intentional inclusion

⫸ Build team cultures where diverse voices are recognized and valued

With special guests:

⫸ Minette Norman — Leadership Consultant, former Autodesk executive, author of The Boldly Inclusive Leader, focused on inclusive cultures and psychological safety

⫸ Dr. Brandi R. Muñoz — Executive Coach, leadership expert, and author of Who Are Your SPECS? Redefining Career Empowerment for the Future of Work, introducing a framework for building a powerful Circle of Success

This 60-minute interactive session is designed for senior leaders, founders, people professionals, and team leads across sectors.

80% + of people report hiding a success from a loved one, coworker, or stranger, often to avoid the appearance of bragging.

#IAmRemarkable is a global movement that empowers everyone, including underrepresented groups, to celebrate their achievements in the workplace and beyond while challenging social perceptions around self-promotion.

By joining the workshop, you will explore the importance of self-promotion in your personal and professional life and become more comfortable and confident in sharing your accomplishments.

The benefits of self-promotion, including taking control of how we are perceived by others so they see the unique contribution each of us can make, are vast.

Get ready to celebrate your achievements, as well as get better at acknowledging the achievements of your team.
