To our wonderful community & friends:
Thank you each for your contribution to an amazing year packed full of conversations that matter. We hope you enjoy the photo gallery above.
Equality has been an overarching theme for TalkPoint this year. It is one of the ten components of the Thinking Environment as we learned from Candice Smith in May. It was central to our Gender Equality conversations with Michael Kimmel in August. It was our point of difference when we launched Speed Mentoring with Vanessa Porter in September. And finally our end of year Anti-Social with joiningthedots last week embraced equality & a deep sense of connection locally & globally.
