A distinctive highlight of the workshop was the participation of external guest speaker Poh‑Yian Koh, China Vice President and Head of Strategic Programs for Asia Pacific and the Middle East at FedEx Express. Inviting a leader from a different industry brought invaluable cross‑sector perspectives, enabling attendees to challenge internal assumptions and gain fresh inspiration. Poh‑Yian shared her personal experiences and data on promotion disparities, encouraging women to embrace confidence and seek candid mentorship. Following her talk, ConocoPhillips employees engaged in cross‑site group discussions, defining equity and brainstorming practical steps at both individual and organizational levels. Key takeaways included embracing diverse viewpoints, avoiding snap judgments, mitigating unconscious bias, and creating safe spaces for active listening and learning from mistakes.
