Abam Mambo

I asked Abam to speak to our whole organization (US and European) as part of a 3-part series. The topic was broad - Inclusion, Diversity and Belonging. We were near the beginning of our journey of building a broader understanding of the concepts and my wish was that Abam would speak from the heart, from personal experiences and also understand the corporate world that the audience she spoke to inhabited. I knew Abam from a previous job where we had been colleagues but not worked very closely so whilst I knew about her professional expertise I didn't know Abam, the speaker. In short she was outstanding. A captivating storyteller, relevant and contextual. Her eloquence drew us in and her authenticity made her accessible to us all. Understanding our work context was also incredibly helpful when she answered questions from the audience and her willingness to cover sensitive topics with compassionate challenge came across as intelligent, smart, kind but spoken to. Thank you Abam.
