@Christianilbury @93clubedinburgh @tacklingelitism Well done!
🗣️ Worried about limited participation in workplace discussions? It could be due to excluding employees who don't speak the dominant language as their mother tongue. Embracing linguistic diversity can fuel fresh ideas, innovation, inclusivity, engagement and productivity.
Did you know that 20-30% of messages can contain bias? Language plays a vital role in diversity and inclusion initiatives. Ignoring it can lead to exclusion, damage reputation, and missed opportunities. Embrace inclusive language for collaboration, and innovation.
Such a fantastic afternoon reflecting, Learning and sharing about our fantastic aspiring leadership midwifery programme. Amazing leaders and inspirational talk from @chinnychick

Accent discrimination is real. It encouraging to see many publicly speak about it. It’s time to take action and end language based discrimination.

I enjoyed Godswill Chigbu's paper on metaphors for corruption in Nigerian political speeches at #raam16 today. It was interesting to see that speeches by military rulers have less metaphor density and variation than those by civilian presidents.
