Navigating the executive world can be vastly different for women and men - and Cynthia Fortlage has experienced both. At 50, at the peak of her professional career, she transitioned on the job, gaining unique insights into leadership, identity, and inclusion from both perspectives.
In this session, Cynthia shares her hard-earned lessons and practical strategies for organisations striving to be more diverse, equitable, and inclusive, grounded in her philosophy of Acceptance without Understanding™.

Topics covered include:
Acceptance without Understanding™ - embracing differences even without full comprehension.
Understanding Gender - the multifaceted elements of gender and identity.
Language and Identity - why words matter.
Organisational Lessons - what Cynthia wishes her employer had understood.

Blending personal experience, professional insight, and thought-provoking discussion, this session provides a rare, insider perspective on leadership, identity, and the evolving dynamics of the modern workplace.
