The Polarised World We Live in Reflects Our Biases – We Need to Seek Out Different Perspectives, with Diversity & Inclusion Expert Dr. Poornima Luthra

As a leading voice in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Dr. Poornima Luthra is redefining what it means to create truly inclusive workplaces. With over 15 years of experience as a speaker, author, and educator, Poornima challenges deep-seated biases and empowers organizations to foster environments where everyone can thrive.Growing up in Singapore, she often found herself questioning rigid educational norms—thinking outside the box in a system that didn’t always embrace it. That early curiosity led her to a PhD that transformed her perspective on race, feminism, and intersectionality, shaping her mission to bring awareness to the biases we all hold. Poornima believes that awareness is the first step to change, urging individuals to ask, "Who is your bias buddy?"—a challenge to seek perspectives beyond our own blind spots.A TED speaker and Thinkers50-recognized management thinker, Poornima’s expertise has influenced leading global corporations. As the author of two bestselling books, with her third recently released, she continues to push the boundaries of how we approach diversity and inclusion—not just as policies, but as fundamental shifts in the way we see and support one another.I hope you’re feeling inspired, cause we’re rooting for you!xx Julie—- Poornima would like to “pass on the goodwill” Chisom Udeze @chisom_udeze and Aram Ostadian-Binai @aramobKeep up with Poornima: LinkedIn: Dr. Poornima Luthra Keep up with The Female Effect:📸 Instagram: @thefemaleeffect_🚀 TikTok: @thefemaleeffect🌍 Linkedin: @The Female EffectImage: Nicklas Hemming JohansenArtwork: Birgit KäsperJingle: Søren Haahr Showroom Studio: Noura Residency  Hosted on Acast.
