M&A Beyond Day One: What They Don't Teach You When merging and acquiring organizations there are many factors to consider - not all aspects of M&A activity are reserved for senior executive leadership teams, private equity companies and legal teams. There are the obvious aspects that require blending from both companies; from finances, people/teams to the corporate image and company culture. Consider all of the aspects of an organization that exist just to run the normal course of business. Then consider all of the similar aspects of another organization that is being merged into another organization! It can be a daunting task that requires skillful organization and consideration of aspects of M&A that 'they don't teach you about'. Ben Chodor, President, Intrado Digital Media shares his personal journey of excitement and freedom from selling his first company to the experience of 'now what!?' post-sale and how he was able to navigate the big changes, build company culture, shift roles from owner to employee and take on the 'new normal' at the new organization. M&A is much more than just a financial decision People and culture cannot be overlooked Successful integration is not just HR, Finance and facilities

Our Unconscious Bias and Microaggressions: Creating Cultural Awareness in You and Your World Everyone is unique, and we all see and interact differently with the world around us. Our upbringings, our relationships, our communities, and the culture that we are a part of are just some of the elements that influence our worldview and our own cultural bubble. Most people have some understanding of unconscious bias, but the term 'microaggression' may be less known to some. When heading into this presentation, it is relevant to keep in mind that due to our cultural bubbles, we all hold unconscious biases within us and that many of us have displayed microaggressions towards others.

This session will set you up to become more aware of your own (and others') unconscious biases and microaggressions through words, thoughts, and impact - and how You can take action. Examining the communities where we live and the organizations where we work, we will discover how to recognize and handle the intentional and unintentional biases that prevail all around us to help contribute and create a safer personal and work environment. We will learn: What is unconscious bias? What is a microaggression and is it really micro? Where do unconscious bias and microaggressions come from? Cultural self-awareness starts with you and your world Microaggression Giver: Being responsible for your impact Microaggression Receiver: When to talk about it or walk away?
