Outcome
Attendees will leave the keynote session informed, inspired and ready to start the process of building a more equitable organization.
At KEDZ, we believe that the best keynotes combine powerful storytelling backed by data, statistics and case studies. A great story on the success and failures on issues of equity, anti-racism, diversity and inclusion can help a group think differently about their equity policies and practices, and spark insightful conversation, while empowering individuals to act.
Our Senior Consultants are seasoned speakers with the life experience that allows participants to relate. They engage on an emotional level with their audience and can transform their thinking.
A keynote makes an incredible introduction to equity training for senior leaders and staff alike. Our clients often package this with our learning sessions so leaders are equipped to effect real change.
