How can we have meaningful conversations across divides? At the 'practising curiosity' workshop with @moniguzman last week, leaders from #ThePerformanceTheatre community learnt about the importance of being mindful, finding gaps in our understanding & challenging our assumptions.
It's been a pleasure working with @Verizon’s @hansvestberg @ChristyPVz on the #FutureOfWork x #EuropeDelivers partnership.
I’ve been particularly involved with the Lost Potential challenge around discrimination & inequality, which you can read about here: bit.ly/2VDg8hn

Leading up to UN’s COP26, we're seeing unprecedented Net-Zero targets from businesses - nearly 800 companies have set science-based goals.
Although we should celebrate these commitments, we must see more – and translate them into action through collaboration.
