Lead Safe & Uncomfortable Conversations
Talk About Diversity & Inclusion
|
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?
What is your area of expertise? I create a safe space for audiences to explore sensitive topics and controversy that arise at work. My speaking presentations focus on these topics: - Engaging under-served, faith-based, or traditional communities - USA diversity demographic shifts and market trends - Culturally-inclusive messaging and communications - Closing the rural/urban divide |
