Keynotes that Connect Your Culture
Speaking
We all want to work in alignment with our true selves. We aim to prevent unconscious biases, along with other prejudices and phobias, from creating a toxic work environment. However, your employees are paralyzed by fear of embracing other humans, especially when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion. They are afraid of offending others, saying the wrong thing, and revealing their unconscious biases through their behavior.
Eliminate the barriers with a keynote that helps connects your culture.
After 25 years and over 50,000 conversations, consultations, research projects, and interviews based on people and culture, I’ve learned that companies don’t have diversity problems; they have people problems. For too long, diversity has been blamed for decreased productivity, discrimination, and a host of other workplace issues. But diversity has never been the problem. It can’t be — the real issue is people and their biases.
I solve people problems, NOT diversity problems!
