Keynotes
Keynote by Hannah Graf: Inclusive Leadership is just Leadership – Lessons from a Transgender Army Captain
Retired British Army Captain, Hannah Graf MBE gives a fresh and insightful view of inclusive leadership and just why, when you strip away the corporate jargon, it’s nothing more than good leadership. With a decade of service leading soldiers across the globe, Hannah opens with her unique story of coming out as transgender in the British Army and how this hypermasculine, politically incorrect world welcomed her with open arms – because of a strong leadership culture. Talking to her own experiences of leadership training at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and subsequent career as an executive in a large multinational corporation, Hannah unpacks why leadership is critical to building an inclusive culture, and the real life benefits of diversity in action. Honest, funny and inspiring, Hannah will leave the audience members armed with practical steps to make a difference in both their personal and professional lives.
