We have just concluded our Global Inclusion Month, the month of October here at Norton Rose Fulbright and I wanted to email to say a huge thank you for your wonderful presentation.
We had a range of events during Global Inclusion Month and none of them received the feedback that your speech received. People were so inspired by your warmth, your success and the way you talk about creating inclusion authentically. We are truly grateful for the effort you put into tailoring what you were saying to a group of “corporates” but also to the theme of our Global Inclusion Month, thinking differently together.
