Is Allyship The Paradox That Can Unite Us? | Katie Allen | TEDxPeterborough

At a time when our opinions feel more polarised than ever, the desire to surround ourselves with people who think, feel and act like us can be strong, says Katie, especially when the fear of doing or saying the wrong thing can prevent us from wanting to stand out from the crowd. Katie explains how the paradox in allyship, and shifting our thoughts, feelings and behaviours from ME to WE might be the key to long lasting societal change. Katie's vision is that we all have the power to be an Ally, and she is on a mission to help 1 million people, by changing the way we approach equity and inclusion in the workplace and in society. Through her work, she enables organisations to connect their desire for high performing, intentionally inclusive workplace cultures with a strategic and achievable approach. Katie is no stranger to enabling courageous conversations, and uses her own experiences, successes, and failures to help her audiences examine their personal feelings about equity and inclusion. Her humour and vulnerability allow us all to let go of the fear of our own “foot in mouth” moments and become united in our curiosity and desire for change. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
