What would change in your workplace, or in your personal relationships, if people truly felt safe to speak up?

Let’s go behind the scenes of our new book, Identically Opposite: Find Your Voice & SPEAK. We explore why so many professionals struggle to raise their voices at work and how fear, identity, and culture all play a part.

Highlights include: • Why the Identically Opposite book • Unpacking what a healthy “speak up” culture truly means — one built on trust, respect, and psychological safety — where every team member feels empowered to contribute authentically • The necessity of courage and clarity

Your role may belong to the organization, but your voice belongs to you. Your voice deserves to be heard.

Why is it so important to meet employees where they are—emotionally, professionally, and generationally? Deon MacMillan, Chief People Officer at Pax8, shares her approach to cultivating a dynamic, people-first culture amidst hypergrowth. Her leadership philosophy revolves around balancing high-tech innovation with high-touch human engagement.

Highlights include:

The need to honor each employee’s current journey, using thoughtful development strategies, AI fluency, and a deep understanding of multi-generational needs.

“Meeting them where they are” drives tailored learning paths, stronger engagement, and authentic brand ambassadorship from within.

Navigating the tension between scaling a global organization and preserving its unique culture. From one-on-one rituals to employee listening programs, she focuses on creating alignment between purpose and performance.

"Organizations that can balance hi tech and high touch will win".
