TEDxWrigleyville 2020 Theme: “Humanity, a View From Inside the Pandemic,” filmed inside Wrigley Field (Chicago) amidst civil unrest and with full compliance of Covid-19 related quarantine restrictions.
[Ms. Dettman delivered her talk during significant rebuilding and construction noise following massive protests throughout the Chicago area.]
It may take a global pandemic for the American workplace to realize gender equity, once and for all. Caroline Dettman, a gender equity specialist, asks us to stop thinking about a return to “normal” – to the way things were – and instead ask the question: Do we even want to? In her work to advance gender equity Caroline Dettman found that the far majority of people have the best of intentions. Her life’s work is helping turn those intentions into intentionality – and the potential impact is epic: progress not just for women, not just for business…but for all.”
Caroline is a founding partner of Have Her Back Consulting (HHB), a female-owned business backed by IPG. She works with brave companies to tackle equity and diversity differently, leveraging her creative craft to solve inequity in unique ways that inspire and deliver impact.
Caroline was named in 2019 a Top 25 Innovator by the Holmes Report. More recently, she’s co-written a byline in Fast Company and Have Her Back Consulting’s research on equity in the times of Covid-19 has been featured in Forbes and Entrepreneur. HHB currently represents some of the biggest and fastest growing companies in the world, helping them move from good intentions to intentional actions. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
