The Wisdom is in the Room

My expertise- I create a safe space for audiences to explore sensitive topics and controversies that arise at work or in community groups. Topics include: 
-  Engaging under-served, marginalized, faith-based, or traditional communities
-  USA diversity and culturally-inclusive communications

​My experience- is 15+ years helping business and government leaders gain skills and experience to close communication gaps between organizations and people, (average audience of 20).

Target audience- Leaders, managers or staff from all sectors: business, government, boards, marketing, HR, or professional organizations, who want to be more inclusive and collaborative.

WHY HIRE ME

The USA grows more diverse every year. What does this mean to your organization? What can you do to keep up with demographic changes, and not get left behind?
Benefits
-  Discover tools and data to understand your demographic trends
-  Increase confidence working with more diverse groups
-  Identify personal and organizational communication styles and strengths

Clients say I bring out the best in people and help them feel comfortable exploring new ideas or making changes. As a speaker, trainer, or facilitator, I’m candid but diplomatic. I welcome divergent views, and support a variety of stakeholder interests- even when conflict arises.
