August Conversation Series: Ludmila Praslova

Mark your calendars for the next Conversation Series event of 2023! We are thrilled to present Ludmila Praslova as our distinguished guest, who will delve into the realm of science for an inclusive workplace.

Ensuring inclusive environments and cultures secured its spot as the #4 Top 10 Work Trend of 2023. This trend pushes us beyond the conventional boundaries of workforce diversity, emphasizing the need for comprehensive approaches. Are you wondering about effective strategies that organizations can embrace to transform their environments into beacons of inclusiveness? Imagine showcasing a resolute dedication to accessibility, fostering a sense of belonging, and upholding justice. Consider, for instance, the untapped potential of neurodiverse talents that often remain unnoticed. It's time to revamp antiquated selection and talent management methodologies prevalent in numerous organizations, methods that inadvertently perpetuate the exclusion of unconventional thinkers who harbor fresh perspectives, boundless creativity, and groundbreaking innovation.

Ludmila Praslova, an esteemed professor of psychology and the visionary force behind the graduate programs in I-O psychology at Vanguard University of Southern California, harnesses her extensive global experience encompassing cultural and ability diversity. Her mission is clear: forging inclusive and just workplaces that echo with equity. In her current consulting, she does so with a focus on steering organizations toward systemic inclusivity deeply informed by a profound understanding of neurodiversity.

We invite you to partake in the conversation on August 31, from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. ET, as she takes the stage to share real-time insights and updates through a multitude of channels. Your journey toward a more inclusive future begins here:
