"It's not just about the learning, it's about the unlearning, too", Astrid Sundberg, Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Oda

This week Leila has a conversation with Astrid Sundberg, Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Oda.

What you'll hear about:

• Astrid's story and her personal and professional journey including her work with global companies, early foray into senior leadership, single parenthood, international transitions and lived experiences
• Gender discrimination and speaking out, the importance of mental health and wellbeing and the need to not hold things together behind a glossy facade
• Inclusion and Belonging - the differences below the surface in contrast to what is visible
• Privilege awareness as a reality check and the need to speak about individual privilege more openly without feeling defensive 
• The evolutionary scale of privilege means that we might never understand every single experience of everyone, however empathy goes a long way in learning, developing and growing as leaders and people
• Allyship exists across different dimensions
• The importance of a sense of humour in breaking down barriers
• The importance of challenging beauty standards by celebrating and championing physical differences
