the "TABOOH"
advantage

How uncomfortable conversations make your organization stronger

Because menstruation in the workplace can lead to absenteeism, governments and companies introduced menstrual leave. But what happened? Very few employees actually use it. A well-intentioned policy with little real impact, because the stigma remains too great. The same is true for menopause policies, bereavement leave, or mental health support: without breaking the taboo, even the best-designed initiatives fail to make a meaningful difference.

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.
