Prior to Finning, Erin was the Regional Director for Catalyst, a global nonprofit driving change with pioneering research, practical tools, and proven solutions to accelerate and advance women into leadership—because progress for women is progress for everyone.

Speech Topics
Unconscious Bias to Inclusive Leadership: Awareness to Action
Unconscious biases; we all have them. They're automatic and efficient mental shortcuts. But now that we have identified this universal aspect of human decision-making, how can we ensure that our bias doesn't lead to missed opportunities?
In this interactive session, participants will reflect on their own unconscious biased thinking and learn leadership behaviours that promote inclusion, leading to innovation and productivity.
