The theme of this year's Talent Summit is “The Talent Revolution; Leading Change”.
Social activist and public speaker Monica Lewinsky will travel to Dublin in February to give the keynote speech at a human resources conference The Talent Summit.
Lewinsky – an anti-bullying activist, consultant, and Contributing Editor to Vanity Fair –advocates for a safer and more compassionate social media environment, drawing from her unique experiences at the epicenter of a media frenzy back in 1998.
In 2014, Lewinsky authored an essay, titled “Shame and Survival”, for Vanity Fair in which she overlapped her personal experiences and cultural observations. The piece was nominated for a National Magazine Award.
In March 2015, she was a speaker at the annual TED Conference in Vancouver. Her speech, “The Price of Shame” has been viewed over 13 million times. She has also spoken at the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit and gave the Ogilvy + Inspire Lecture at Cannes Lions.
She is a founding board member of the Childhood Resilience Foundation and on the advisory board of Project Rockit. Monica is an Ambassador for The Diana Award’s Anti-Bullying Programme and Bystander Revolution, as well as supporting numerous other organizations in the space.
