Rina Goldenberg Lynch - Ask Me Anything: A LIVE Q&A on Diversity & Inclusion - Tackling Taboo Topics

Learn about Rina:Rina Goldenberg Lynch

Rina has 20 years of experience as a lawyer. Having started her legal career in Washington DC, she then worked as a banking lawyer with Clifford Chance LLP in London and as a Director in the legal department of ING Bank London. During her career, Rina observed that most organisations had a dominant culture which required - directly or indirectly - every person to adapt. As a result, leaders often failed to realise the full potential of their colleagues, overlooking individual differences as strengths, leaving untapped much talent, dedication and commitment. Having experienced this first-hand and learning how to break the corporate mould, Rina developed a passion for endowing her experience and knowledge onto other women, helping them attain sustainable career satisfaction by contributing fully and authentically.

Rina mentored many women to break through their own limiting beliefs and to become agents of change for other women and colleagues. Separately, Rina also began to help her own employer to realise women's untapped contribution by modelling how to value difference and turn it into a useful resource for the business. This was the catalyst behind Voice At The Table, established in 2013.

As a Diversity and Inclusion consultant, Rina works with a variety of sectors, including professional services, tech and infrastructure, working with companies such as SEGA, HSBC and TalkTalk. Rina has helped over 60 organisations with various Diversity and Inclusion needs. This breadth and variety of work has expanded Rina’s expertise to the full life cycle of Diversity and Inclusion and allows her to identify what works and what doesn’t. Rina talks passionately on this topic and is particularly interested in the advancement of women. She speaks to audiences across the private and public sectors, as well as schools, universities and non-profit organisations. Additionally, Rina is frequently asked to judge awards events honouring women’s professional achievements. Rina lives in London with her husband and two teenage children. She loves travelling, learning about different culture and conversations, particularly with eccentric people.

About the lecture:

Diversity and Inclusion is on the agenda of every company – so much so that there is an assumption that most people are familiar with the topic. Naturally, then, it's easy to feel that we should know more about it than we actually do. If you have questions about the basics of Diversity and Inclusion, or if you have thought about it and, upon reflection, want further clarification on something, this session is for you.

In this session, you will get an opportunity to ask any question you have on Diversity and Inclusion. Anything from What are microaggressions? to If Unconscious Bias is so normal, why do we need to mitigate it? to What's the difference between Diversity, Inclusion, Equality, Equity and Belonging? to What precisely is privilege? and anything else in between. In addition to your questions, Rina will answer the 5 most common questions asked about Diversity and Inclusion. If you want to know more about Diversity and Inclusion, be sure to come along.
