What Is DEI?
Diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and programs promote representation and equal opportunities for all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, socioeconomic status, or abilities. While American organizations have yet to arrive at best practice diversity strategies for optimal organizational culture, crucial work in this space continues despite significant challenges.
Featured Speakers Amplify the Voices of Minority Groups
Our diverse public speakers are at the forefront of various industries and social justice issues and can address and critically engage with topics such as accessibility programs, inclusive leadership, and civil rights (including disability rights and LGBTQ+ rights).
DEI should never be about grandstanding but about the very real financial and social benefits of employee engagement and good mental health when there's buy-in from HR professionals and leadership teams. Our speakers can tackle this topic with nuance, so your audience leaves inspired to play their part in transforming the culture.
Why Hire a DEI Speaker for Your Event?
The diversity speakers in our stable are well-versed in highlighting unconscious biases and systemic barriers while respectfully fostering dialogue. They skillfully weave in stories of resilience with "aha moments" that raise awareness about the issues minority coworkers face. Each speaker showcases the potential of DEI policies, with specific examples of innovation or other benefits.
