Authentic Diversity: How to Interrupt Bias and Build an Inclusive Workplace
Join me for an engaging, interactive virtual program that will shift your understanding on the challenges for inclusion in the workplace, and take up the call to action for every individual to build spaces of authentic diversity for all. What does diversity, equity, and inclusion mean? How do we make the business case for diversity? What is unconscious bias all about? How do our colleagues experience microaggressions? How do I stay aware of my biases? How do I interrupt them? And how can I build an inclusive workplace centered on belonging and authenticity for all? With stories, scenarios, and expert insights, I will give you the tools to interrupt bias, build inclusion, and make the work of diversity matter for good.
 
This is How We T.H.R.I.V.E.: How to Drive Your Career and Find Authentic Success at Work
Authentic is the Word of the Year! And yet, in a world of social media bots, Photoshop fails, and generative AI, what does it really mean to show up authentically in our lives and at the place where we spend most of our days, at work? Based on my forthcoming book, I'll teach you my six steps to claiming real authentic success at work - at every level and for every generation. I'll share my own career journey - the highs and lows - and showcase how embracing your identities, values, and life stories is the real secret to career success.
Then, I'll teach my six steps to THRIVE at work: Tell Your Truth, Handle Your Inner Impostor, Redo Your Road Map, Identify Your Champions, Voice Your Wants and Your Needs, and Embrace Your Values. Through storytelling, interactive discussions, case studies, and real-life examples, your attendees will leave with the certain knowledge of how to show up authentically and open doors to trust, loyalty, and enduring success in the workplace and beyond.
 
What If I Say The Wrong Thing?: How to Communicate and Lead Across Differences
The work of inclusion requires all our commitment to deliver real change and we cannot move forward unless we have difficult conversations. But having those conversations without the right preparation can lead to anger, frustration, and the belief that tackling difference is not worth all the conflict it brings.
That’s where I come in.
Join me as we do a deep dive into how to communicate across identity groups. We will learn a step-by-step framework for communicating, and I’ll lead you through real-life scenarios that happen every day - talking about race, saying the wrong thing, discussing current events. Our goal? To build an organization where everyone knows how to communicate with empathy and equity.
 
A More Perfect Union: How to Talk About Politics in a Divided World
Across the globe, words have become so charged that debates and discussion quickly veer into anger and accusations. We see it again and again, in our workplaces, our homes, our schools, our lives. And yet, we cannot move forward on inclusion and belonging unless we can successfully share our own perspectives while recognizing the perspectives of others. But having those conversations without the right preparation can lead to anger, frustration, and the belief that tackling difference is not worth all the conflict it brings. That’s where A More Perfect Union enters.
