Have you ever engaged in a dialogue about race and the conversation made you uncomfortable? Do you avoid conversations about race because you don’t want to “say the wrong thing and offend someone?” If so, you’re not alone.

Conversations about race can make some people feel uncomfortable, so if you’re one of those people, our keynote/workshop entitled H.E.A.R.T work™ will easily engage you and your organization in conversations about race at work.

We designed this workshop/keynote to help leaders and organizations understand how to curate culture. Most leaders are busy with the day to day of their business, so culture isn’t something they naturally think about. Solomon has spent years empowering leaders and organizations to understand how to successfully build and scale culture, and in his experience, building culture starts with aligning your leaders’ beliefs and behaviors with your company values.

How does your company actively promote equity in the workplace? What does equity even mean? If you’re having a hard time answering these questions, don’t worry, more than 50% of the employees we’ve interviewed had a hard time as well.

In this keynote/workshop, we use the latest research, trends, and best-practices to deliver a powerful program that’s entertaining, educational and inspiring. Whether it’s in your company’s policies or promotional process, we help you understand how structural inequity and bias can negatively impact your organization and the action steps you can take to implement equitable, sustainable, scalable strategies.

Do leaders in your organization struggle to understand how their bias impacts intersectionality? Do leaders in your organization understand and embrace intersectionality? In this keynote/workshop, we offer program participants practical solutions for understanding and embracing intersectionality in the workplace.

The business case for diversity is as strong as it’s ever been and in McKinsey’s most recent report, companies in the top quartile for gender diversity were 25 percent more likely to have above-average profitability and companies in the top quartile for ethnic diversity were 36 percent more likely to have above-average profitability. To say diversity is good for business would be an understatement. But for us, it’s not just about the financial gain!

But this talk is not about the business case for diversity, it’s about helping leaders understand how to create environments of inclusion where employees feel engaged and like they belong! Creating a culture where individuals feel valued and respected takes effort, energy, and a commitment from the senior most leaders in your company. But what exactly do leaders need to say and do to make employees feel valued?

Every year, organizations struggle with how to acknowledge and celebrate Black History Month and Juneteenth. More importantly, they struggle with how to amplify the voices and experiences of their Black employees, and how to make sure all employees feel included. Black History Month and Juneteenth are opportunities for organizations to engage all employees, because both are apart of American history, not just Black history! If you’re looking for a dynamic and engaging speaker who understands how to engage and inspire action, look no further than Solomon Wilkins!
