"If you want to drive DEI at your company, stop talking and listen to the people around you. Listen to what people are saying - and listen to what they're not saying.

Listen to how this past year has been scary for everyone. Maybe the person you're talking to is still scared.

We'll not only survive, but we'll thrive when we commit to listen."

"You might not feel that now is the perfect time, but NOW is always the perfect time to start something.

People have been isolated thinking about how the world needs to change. That idea you've had, the ways you want to innovate - the world is ready.

The wellbeing of so many people has declined over the last year. We need your ideas now more than ever.

The time is now. Start before you're ready. Just start."

"Millennials and Gen Z are oftentimes simply looking for permission to innovate at their company. They're filled with ideas for integrating technology and working with purpose, but lack the support or platform to act on those ideas.

That's the power and potential brands have to increase company productivity - and their bottom line.

By acknowledging we're all imperfect people, in an imperfect world, but we’re still committed to young people being, doing, and creating in unlimited ways - that’s when you foster an environment for talent growth and development.

It’s what I received from my mentors and it changed my life."

"A feeling of belonging happens best in a squad of 8-10 people.

If a company really wants to create an inclusive culture of listening and belonging, then they need to help their employees connect with each other to feel heard, supported, and respected.

I help organizations who have a vision for transforming their work culture do this effectively for their employees and communities."

"When I launched bSMART, we created mentorship groups to really listen to what people needed.

What we discovered was that people not only need mentorship content to help them achieve their goals, but also community support from people who care about them.

I know how companies and brands can provide that for their entire workforce."

"It's time to involve ALL people in the conversation about how we can lift each other up.

If we really want women to manifest their purpose, and take care of the world's children, then we need to invest in all people.

The time is now."
