“Wow! I love working with Raven. Her excitement for the work she does shines through everything she touches. She recently facilitated a training session for People Ops leaders in the Durham startup community. We were all inspired by her style, her passion for diversity and inclusion, and her data-based focused approach. She left us with 6 characteristics of an inclusive leader and practical ways to source and train for these characteristics. It was empowering! We can wait to have her back to train more people in our community.”

The [Generational] Business Case for DEIB

Get Clear on Why DEIB is a MUST at Every Level of the Organization

Best For: Business & People Leaders - Executive Leaders, Mid-Level Managers, Frontline Leaders or ALL


Every CEO wants their organization to be inclusive. In order for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging to be truly embedded throughout your organization, every employee—from the c-suite to the frontline—must be committed to inclusion and rooted in a clear business case.

In this engaging and insightful workshop, Raven takes those skeptical of the value of DEIB in their workforce and makes them believers, by clearly articulating the risk to their business without it. Those who are already believers, she equips with additional tools and awareness to further understand and articulate the value of DEIB. She does all of this uniquely using generations to frame the value proposition. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Identity the risks associated with not making DEIB a serious business imperative
  • Provide a common language and working knowledge of key DEIB terms such as diversity, inclusion, equity, belonging, identity, and intersectionality
  • Explain the generational evolution of diversity work in the workplace
  • Understand the organizational and individual value of DEIB

Unconscious Bias

Become aware of and learn to limit the impact of Bias

Best For: Employees and/or leaders at all levels


Bias impacts everything. From the decisions we make, to the way we respond in certain situations, to how we see and treat others, our myriad of biases are often at the helm, even at work. And the scariest part is many of us have no idea.

Each and every one of us has bias. If you have a brain, you have bias. And that bias, if unmanaged, presents opportunity for us to do true harm to those around us, ourselves, and our organizations. It can create non-inclusive, even hostile work environments that yield decreased team performance, turnover, and less than desired business results.

In this interactive and thought-provoking program, Raven introduces attendees to their own personal biases, provides context for their potential sources, and reveals their true potential impact. She helps attendees begin to effectively “rumble” with bias through four proven strategies to aid in awareness and combating bias.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify what unconscious bias is and when it is occurring
  • Explore the threat of unconscious bias on your organization
  • Understand the sources and potential impact of unconscious bias
  • Recognize 6 common biases that impact work
  • Identify four strategies to effectively “rumble” with unconscious bias
