Why does it seem that hostility towards people different to "us" is on the rise? Why is "talking about the minefield" so dangerous? Maria Petnga-Wallace is a consultant and founder of Ubuntu Works, having worked within EDI for 18 years across law, adtech, charity, and more. Maria is a trustee at charities Black Tri Tribe and Impact Initiatives, and EDI Lead at S-RM, a strategic and cyber intelligence business - all while being a PhD candidate.

The minefield of online opinions is getting more dangerous every day, and sometimes even acknowledging it is as dangerous as walking through it. Cultural intelligence, identity, and inclusion are hotly debated across the table - and not at all on any side.

Today, we open it up. We'll explore:

• What Cultural Intelligence is
• Why it's easier to have others be "like us"
• Common conflicts that arise in and around workplaces
• Challenging conversations and how to have them
• What makes up our identity and why we're so attached to it
• The future of inclusion
