Empathy Keynote Speaker – Belonging in Action series with Bacardi

I loved keynoting on empathy and vulnerability as part of Bacardi’s 4-part Belonging in Action series yesterday. I need to thank Abbi Buszard for all her support and briefing me so fully on Bacardi’s culture.

Did you know that Bacardi staff refer to each other as ‘primos/primas’ (Spanish for cousin)?

I enjoyed the family atmosphere, and the spirit of reflection and learning that I experienced during the session and also want to shout out to Lauren Ecob, Debbie Danon, Xanthe Healy and everyone who has sent me DMs here on LinkedIn and via email.

It’s not easy being vulnerable and sharing our hopes and fears with others. I appreciate Bacardi’s efforts to help people have what are sometimes difficult conversations, in pursuit of an atmosphere of belonging. Hope you enjoy the remaining sessions of your month long series!
