MORE ABOUT ME
Daphne Magna
Ciao! Hola! Welcome! I’m Daphne Magna, founder of Tough Convos.
I am a Management Consultant focused on building Inclusive cultures and supporting inclusive leaders by creating content and experiences that transform people. I consider myself an Educator, because everything I do in life and in business is aimed at improving our understanding of ourselves and others across the world.
Tough Convos is an extension of the 15 years of work creating safe spaces where people can share, learn and unlearn by having tough conversations, challenging the way people think and the false data that gets in the way of our progress, and building up inclusive leaders in every silo of society so together as a united front we can win the war against ourselves - division of race, class and superiority.
I know it's not simple, and definitely not easy. But if I remember correctly, ease is a frame of mind, and the grander the ideal the more likely we’ll achieve it.

"The business owners walked away from this virtual presentation with a deeper understanding of their role in building an anti-racist business and what type of change they can create in their communities."
KIRA, Founder
"Being in these conversations is an invaluable experience. The combo of organic and moderated conversation allows you to leave more educated, with new perspectives. It's the perfect place to learn more and find out how to take action that makes a difference."
ZAYNA, Image Strategist
"In Sales you need to understand people, and their motivating factors. Unconscious bias is a real part of decision making. The more I understand how it affects us all, the better person, mother and sales director I become."
