In this session — a replay from the 2021 Pennsylvania Conference for Women — diversity and inclusion pragmatist Dolly Chugh will offer ways to communicate so that you can reduce the likelihood of misunderstanding, be a better colleague, and create a workplace where everyone has the confidence to speak up and the language to effectively advance equity in the workplace. Learn how to avoid being a well-intentioned barrier to equality and speak up with confidence.   Dolly Chugh Dolly Chugh is an award-winning professor at the New York University Stern School of Business where she teaches MBA courses in leadership and management.
