One of the biggest challenges for corporate leaders today is knowing how to create a culture of belonging.
Why?
Because today’s workforce prioritizes a culture that is inclusive and diverse...
Even companies with the best intentions are struggling to retain talent because over 57% of employees feel like their companies don’t care…
Which means there’s no smarter business move you can make right now than to ensure your people feel like they belong.
Why?
Because there are TWO conflicting belief systems that are at the root of determining how we interact with the world.
When you understand why and how these two belief systems create an invisible conflict that’s nearly impossible to put into words … *that’s when you finally have power to change it.*
Then you’ll be equipped with powerful insights into how you can nurture a more purposeful, devoted, successful culture.
This is how you create Magical Belonging™.
And that’s where Denise comes in…

Here’s why people call Denise’s keynotes and workshops
“Transformational.”
Authentic Collaboration
Belonging is by far, the most innate and fundamental human need…
And when people feel like they belong they feel confident which means they feel safe bringing their full talents, and unique points of view because as humans, we have an innate desire to contribute when we experience a shared purpose and vision.
Walk The Walk
Great talent knows when Leadership is “just checking boxes.” As a result, your people, (especially POC), feel unseen and are more than willing to leave for other opportunities. Recognizing your actions (ie your willingness to take authentic risks) as a leader is the first step to accelerating belonging.
Belonging Opens The Floodgates
When people feel like they belong they never think twice about going the extra mile. Belonging develops a “mindset of personal ownership” which means your people are inspired to do their best work because they feel safe….
Walk In Someone Else's Shoes
Gain the understanding and confidence to make sure all of your people feel like they’re part of a shared culture so they don't feel like they’re sitting alone at the table or even worse, not getting invited to it.
Which Option Works Best To Build A Foundation Of Belonging And Measurable Success For Your Organization?
2021 Was The Year Of The Great Resignation.
Why?
Because 57% percent of workers felt disrespected at work.
When an organization makes shallow efforts to address belonging it results in real-world ramifications which negatively affect morale, retention, brand reputation and bottomline.
Denise will show you how to cultivate

• Explaining “The Crunch” so you can finally connect the dots as to why so many POC end up feeling like outsiders at at their workplace.
• Practical and proactive solutions to solve the problem of retention
