"TABOOH"
as an asset

How uncomfortable conversations make your organization stronger

Because menstruation in the workplace can lead to absenteeism, governments and companies decided to introduce menstrual leave. But what turns out to be the case? Very few employees actually use it. It is a measure that achieves nothing because the taboo is too great. The same applies to menopause policies, bereavement leave, or mental health support: well-intentioned, but without breaking the taboo, the impact remains absent.

Opportunities in Taboohs

In this keynote, Filip shows you how to turn taboos into opportunities. By having uncomfortable conversations and making taboos discussable, you create policies that actually work. He teaches you how taboos arise and function. How you can name themes, start the conversation, and build a culture of openness and empathy.

Leaders who tackle these challenges distinguish themselves. Taboos can even become a USP: a powerful signal that your organization chooses inclusion.
