Getting it right

We all have different ways of presenting ourselves in different situations. We might talk or act differently at work than we do around family and friends. It’s called code-switching.  

But for people of diverse backgrounds, constantly changing who you are to fit in with a certain work culture takes an exhausting toll.  

Dwayne Good is the founder of Aboriginal-owned travel company, InTravel Group. He’ll explain why the subtle codes we sometimes have to live by at work are out-dated. And how to create a workplace where employees don’t need to switch.
