Your feedback culture is quietly killing trust. If your “open communication” approach doesn’t account for cultural nuance, you're not creating a safe space. You're creating confusion. Want feedback that builds trust and performance across cultures? Here's your blueprint for making it work. 👉 Hitting your ESG targets starts here.

Okay lads, sometimes good intention aren't enough... —impact is what lands. Dove’s “Real Beauty” campaign tried to celebrate diversity… but what viewers saw was a black woman morphing into a white woman, then into an Asian woman—before returning to the black woman. The result? A wave of backlash and a brand in damage control. The problem wasn’t the message, it was the execution. When it comes to inclusive campaigns, cultural competence is non-negotiable. That’s where our Culturally Sensitive Campaigning Training comes in: ✅ Create campaigns that resonate without flattening identities. ✅ Avoid PR disasters with the right tools, frameworks, and strategy. Let’s be real—your brand deserves better than backlash. We'll help you get it right from the start - take a look at how we'll support you: https://lnkd.in/eYUvPmKD #InclusiveMarketing #CulturalCompetence #BrandStrategy #RepresentationMatters #DiversityDoneRight #Dove #CulturalMarketing

Today, the 8th of April, International Traveller and Roma Day, we celebrate the resilience, richness, and rights of Ireland’s Traveller and Roma communities.⁠ ⁠ Too often, these communities are talked about, not with. ⁠ ⁠ At GORM, we’re committed to listening deeply, platforming stories, and working relationally—because intercultural solidarity means showing up with action, not just awareness.⁠ ⁠ To our Traveller and Roma friends: your culture is vibrant, your voices matter, and your future is powerful.⁠ ⁠ #InternationalTravellerAndRomaDay #ElevatingVoices #GORM #HumanRights #InclusionMatters #NoToRacism #TravellerPride

Your “helpful feedback” might be giving ✨accidental villain✨ energy. Feedback isn’t universal—what’s ‘honest’ to you might be brutal to someone else. If you’re tired of awkward silences, defensive looks, or feedback that just doesn’t stick, it’s time for a rethink. Stop the feedback flops—master the art now! https://lnkd.in/eENm5Sba #LeadershipDevelopment #GivingFeedback #WorkplaceCulture #EffectiveCommunication #InclusiveLeadership

Tomorrow, we’re honoured to welcome Dr. Livingstone Thompson, PhD—an internationally recognised expert in intercultural competence and inclusive leadership—to our webinar: From Tension to Transformation: Strengthening Intergroup Relations Through Intercultural Competence. Through his decades of work—from co-founding SIETAR Ireland to advising organisations across Europe—Livingstone has helped teams move beyond performative DEI and build real, lasting cohesion across racial, cultural, and religious lines. His work reminds us: inclusive workplaces don’t happen by chance. They’re built—through empathy, structure, and intercultural skills. If you lead people, shape culture, or care about equity in your organisation—this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. 🗓️ Wednesday 9th of April | ⏰ 11–12PM Led by social psychologist Dr. Mamobo O. and DEI expert Dr Livingstone Thompson, PhD, this session offers evidence-based insights and real-world application. 🎟️ Register now: https://lnkd.in/eD_QhYn8 #InclusiveLeadership #InterculturalTraining #DEIStrategy #EmployeeEngagement #LeadingDiverseTeams

Let’s be honest—every workplace has those “grey area” moments. The offhand comment. The awkward joke no one addresses. The name that’s still being mispronounced on week 12. As a leader, you don’t just set the tone—you are the tone. Silence isn’t strategy. It’s complicity.
