Talks

Engage and inspire your workforce through our DE&I talks and panel offering

Hosting DE&I talks and panels offer a valuable alternative to workshops, providing employees with a broader platform to engage with these critical topics.

MRG talks and panels allow for more flexible participation, as employees can listen and reflect without the pressure of direct interaction, making it more accessible for those who may be hesitant to engage in a workshop setting.

Led by a moderator, we invite members of our collective who sit across a broad intersection of diversity to join us in discussion about topics which provide your community with tools to better understand how they can lean into being changemakers for underrepresented people.

Hearing personal stories and expert insights can help employees connect emotionally to the issues of discrimination, bias, and inequality, which are often harder to grasp in theory-based workshops.

We cover a wide range of DE&I topics, which encourage open dialogue, which broadens the understanding of workplace issues such as racism, gender inequality, and ableism.

Your employees will leave with a better awareness of the complexities surrounding marginalisation and the importance of allyship.

All sessions can be hosted in person or online and are intended to feel conversational across a 30, 60 or 75 minute format.
