Crystal Kadakia Speaking Topics
Though often lumped together, creating inclusion is fundamentally a distinct challenge from diversity, with different goals, measures, strategy, and ultimately, underlying thinking.
While there’s barriers to inclusion we all know exist, the real problem is that it’s a near-impossible challenge to train the worst of human nature out. To achieve inclusion, we have to learn where, when, and how we shine at inclusion already and put systems in place to intentionally make these happen every day. One of those ways is through the deliberate use of online and offline technology to create an environment of inclusion.
- Discuss how and why your underlying thinking needs to shift for diversity strategy vs. inclusion strategy
- Identify the strengths people already use to build inclusion and where these show up online and offline
- Choose which digital technology tactics to train your organization in that will grow these strengths into everyday moments
- Justify how inclusion initiatives lead to innovation
We are all guilty of the habits young talent are often accused of: low attention span, constant multitasking and distraction, overwhelmed by information overload, and more.
Yet, in reality, digital is already an integral piece of everything and everyone — how we behave, how our neurology is rewiring, how we interact with others, how the work between resources gets done, and how we go about every day. In this talk, Crystal examines the role technology plays in our everyday lives and how you can use tools to empower your performance, rather than engage from a stressed, overwhelmed, digitally-defused state.
- Spark your awareness of how living in a digital world is enabling and disabling productivity & happiness
- Explore the five biggest challenges that occur on a daily basis and how they manifest
- Learn how to empower yourself & your team to use digital technology, rather than be held hostage by it
Change the conversation about Millennials for your team. In this talk, you will not only understand the five biggest myths about millennials but learn how to navigate today’s digital mindset and behavior.
- Abandon today’s stereotype-laden Millennial language
- “Get” the behavior and mindset for employees who have grown up in a digital world
- Discover relationship, management and leadership practices that apply to all generations and talent of the future
Is your organization, like many, stuck in the middle between an industrial age and a digital age way of working? Technologies in the cloud, new workplace policies, new styles of leadership? It’s time to move beyond experimentation to embracing fully what’s possible in our digital age, while honoring what’s valuable from our past successes. It’s not all about the systems you have, it’s how you evolve the culture that makes or breaks success. From nearly 10 years of future of work research and personal remote work experience, I share the top 3 human behavior challenges in digital workplace culture and empower you with perspectives to create new initiatives and lead differently.
The three challenges we cover:
- Breaking the Mindless Doing Cycle
- Fostering Deep Relationships
- Maximizing Productivity from Diversity
