In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Stacie Graham, Global Director - Racial Equity Programme at WPP.
Stacie shares her insights on conflict management as a critical competency for leaders and the importance of creating a safe space for open conversations about experiences and backgrounds in the workplace. She also discusses the impact of intergenerational and ancestral traumas on how individuals show up in the workspace and the importance of acknowledging these histories.
