Diversity isn’t what you think

The first seats will be available on July 11 at 6 PM.

The remaining seats will be released on August 1 at 6 PM. 

Diversity is widely seen as essential to business success. Companies proudly showcase inclusion initiatives, and HR departments race to improve demographic metrics. A lack of diversity, we're told, damages performance. So why is real inclusion still so rare? If diversity truly boosts outcomes, why is it so difficult to achieve?

In his latest book “La Diversité n’est pas ce que vous croyez” (Flammarion, 2025), Olivier Sibony, Education Track Professor of Strategy at HEC Paris and best-selling author, takes on a subversive approach: he challenges conventional views on workplace diversity and encourages us to rethink our stereotypes about leadership.

From the underrepresentation of women in leadership, to what impostor syndrome really is and why diversity trainings do not function, Olivier Sibony will decipher the real causes of persistent homogeneity and will offer concrete actions to address it.

Join us for a candid conversation that goes beyond preconceived ideas — so executive teams can become not only more diverse, but more effective.

The talk will be followed by a book signing of “La Diversité n’est pas ce que vous croyez” (Flammarion, 2025).
