Converging Voices: The Art of Communicating Across Difference
Heather Hansen
Description

How we communicate shapes how we connect. It builds trust, signals belonging, asserts individuality, and bridges difference. Every conversation is a dance of identity — influenced by culture, context, and choice. This keynote explores how our communication habits signal who we are — and how we shift our voices to fit in or stand out. We’ll unpack critical issues such as accent bias and perception in professional spaces. The goal isn’t perfect speech — it’s authentic connection. This is an invitation to communicate with greater awareness, empathy, and intention. Because when we listen, we build bridges, not boundaries — and every voice gets heard.
