Speaking at The Self-Made Summit about
Hyshil is at The Self-Made Summit to start a conversation with you about the topic of identity. What does identity actually mean? Why is it so incredibly important to know who you are?
Hyshil wants to know how you think about identity, whilst sharing her own vision on the subject with you. The idea behind all this? At the end of her talk, you will be left with fascinating answers to some pressing questions. However, you’re also going to have more unanswered questions than when you started. But let us be clear: In the end that’s actually the point. Personal development begins when questions are asked, and awareness is ignited...
As well as pondering the subject of identity, Hyshil will also deepdive into diversity (which is a concept strongly intertwined with that of identity when we’re talking about minorities). ‘Diversity’ is of course a hot topic in today’s society, but it has now almost become a catch-all term that is still not taken as seriously as it should be within some organizations. Hyshil will discuss how to make the concept of diversity more concrete and therefore something people can actually talk about. So that not only you, but also your team, manager, whoever… actually understands what it means. After Hyshil’s talk you will have the power to do something with it. In this way you can remove the fear around diversity, and bring it closer to your company than was previously possible, due to your newfound knowledge.
