TABOOH, The Keynote that creates Inclusion

How can you make your organization more inclusive and productive? With a keynote on taboos!

“taBOOH” is an electrifying keynote that takes you on a journey through various taboos we encounter in our daily lives. Filip hands you three keywords and the perfect conversation starters to break these taboos. Be prepared, because after this keynote, no taboo conversation will ever be the same again.

With his keynote “taBOOH” Filip helps both men and women realize how taboos hold us back. He illustrates how menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause exclude women. How simple things like bodily functions lead to unnecessary shame. How challenging it can be for men to conform to societal expectations of masculinity. “taBOOH” is about the necessity of being your authentic self in the workplace. It delivers a vital message to create a more enjoyable work environment. Filip sheds light on this necessity in a funny and slightly uncomfortable way, as we are all a little guilty of perpetuating taboos.

Filip inspires his audience to initiate taboo conversations. “Taboos thrive when silenced.” He provides simple and practical tips on how to start these conversations.

If you have taboos within your organization that you’d like to address, don’t hesitate to share them with Filip. Each keynote is tailored, and who knows, a new “taBOOH” mug might be created specifically for your event! Here’s a little inspiration:

• Addressing pregnancy during a job interview.
• Providing leave days for menstrual pain.
• Bridging gaps caused by cultural differences.
• Overcoming prejudices related to chronic illnesses.
• Addressing dissatisfaction over compensation.
• Challenging the notion of full-time work for men.

And what do you do after the keynote? You become a taboo warrior! Armed with the “taBOOH” mugs, you might want to delve deeper into topics like menstruation and menopause. Perhaps you want to train or prepare your organization to integrate people with disabilities or those with different mother tongues. Talk to Filip.
