EDI: D&I are lost without Equity
This keynote focuses on the reduction of DEI to just diversity and inclusion (D&I) which overlooks the crucial component of equity, which is essential for creating environments where diversity and inclusion can truly thrive. Equity ensures fair treatment, equality of opportunity, and fairness in access to information and resources for all. It’s not just about representation but also about providing the support needed to ensure everyone can participate fully and succeed. This keynote will both educate and inform about what’s wrong with a D&I strategy and how to get back on the right track.

High Impact Communications - Confidence, Clarity, Credibility
This program is designed to focus on key communication skills: listening, speaking with clarity, asking powerful questions, and recognizing the power of non-verbal communication. Participants will learn how to build rapport using simple Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) techniques such as pacing and leading which can translate into positive results.
The Coaching Leader
This program will emphasize the power of leading as a coach. The skills required of a Coaching Leader and the benefits to be gained will be reviewed and practiced. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to coach and receive feedback both from their workshop leader and from other program participants.
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
The aim of this behavior-based workshop is to bring people of all races, ethnicities, genders, and abilities together to explore the ins and outs of EDI. Through case studies, role plays, videos, and small group work, participants will uncover the real power of EDI while understanding their own biases, truths, and half-truths. This workshop gives participants an upfront look at behaviors (verbal and non-verbal) that do and do not create an organizational environment of trust, inclusion, and equity for all.
