Empowering organizations to be inclusive and individuals to be successful, I bridge the gap between organizational success and personal growth to create a world where everyone can thrive.
Hey There,
My name is Solomon Wilkins!
I've spent the last 16 years climbing the corporate ladder eventually becoming a corporate Vice President. Before becoming a VP and appearing on magazine covers, I was just a kid from Oakland with a dream. Now, I'm on a mission to use my personal and professional journey to help organizations increase employee engagement, productivity, and retention and to help individuals live life with purpose, passion, and fulfillment.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"Solomon is unique in that he is clearly an ID&E; subject matter expert, deeply passionate about helping others, and he is tremendously skilled as a presenter. This intersection of skills, knowledge and passion makes Solomon incredibly effective and powerful as an ID&E; professional and speaker. I have to say though, what is really inspirational about Solomon is his passion for helping employees feel like they belong and who they are does matter. When the dust settles it is about helping people however you can, and there aren't too many people better at this than Solomon Wilkins!"

Radian Leaving a Legacy as an ERG Leader
"Solomon knows a lot about ERGs and his talk helped us get organized around the impact we want to have in 2024. What I found most valuable was how he helped us connect our personal values to the mission and vision of our ERGS. ERG work can feel challenging, but Solomon gave us some actionable strategies that we could implement right away, including partnering with other ERGs and different parts of the business. I hope we bring him back for a more in/depth discussion because he really gets it."

"Solomon Wilkins, M.A. I was one of the leads from Nextdoor's ERG for women and gender minorities you spoke with and I absolutely loved your energy, confidence and honesty. The session was so inspiring and insightful - especially some points you made on the employment status of getting involved in ERGS (contractor vs fte) and for also making sure we constantly provide updates on the work, effort and hours we put into our ERGS with our management.
I can see some of my feedback has already reached your testimonials which I'm so pleased about

May the universe continue to bless your endeavors."

"Would have loved more time with Solomon but he has inspired me to speak more about my ERG with my boss... currently j don't talk at all about it with her as I feel she is not interested or might thinks it's a distraction from my day job - this has empowered me to do so"
NextdoorThe 7Ps of ERGS
