Filé Gumbo for the Soul: An Organic Recipe for Collaboration seasoned with Natural Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Preparing the Perfect Gumbo Culture

MAKE WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT MAKE A DIFFERENCE! (NOT DIVIDE) A healthy corporate culture is like a big pot of gumbo. The more you put into it, the better it gets. Like a great gumbo, a great corporate culture has the right amount of seasonings. Too much and it's ruined. Too little and it lacks flavor.

This interactive session reveals the 12-ingredient recipe to build winning relationships that define a thriving workplace. Through empathy and effective dialogues, leaders and team members learn to come together to earn mutual respect and trust while eliminating bias and divisive behavior. The resulting collaboration is rooted on a core of synergy that is defined by the right amount of diversity, equity and inclusion based on the ORGANIC APPROACH TO DEI.

Forward-thinking Transformational Leadership: Step Out from the Crowd of Conventional Thinking

Transformational Leaders of Influence Make a Difference; Not Excuses

Transformational leaders, who step out from the crowd of conventional thinking, don't point fingers; they point their teams in the right direction. These innovators forward thinkers lead with a purpose rooted in today but driven by a vision of tomorrow.

As influential communicators, they engage, empower, energize and inspire their teams to overcome challenges and achieve extraordinary results. To them it is not just about motivation; it's about transformation.

This session provides the insight to GO THE EXTRA YARD and step out from the crowd of conventional thinkers who are stuck in the past and confined to the present. It transforms ineffective rigid managers into effective forward-thinking leaders.

Abraham Lincoln said, "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."

Team Building

Synergy in Motion / Lessons Learned from Line Dancing

Be it at a wedding or any social event, as soon as the music starts, people (some strangers) from across the room leave their tables and promptly proceed to the dance floor. Once there, no one is fighting or harassing others for positioning. Lines are formed naturally. Everyone finds their spot and is content to dance in that spot. They are happy. It's fun. It works. And when it comes to dancing, they dance in sync.

This is what building great relationships is all about. People coming and working together as a team for results without power struggles or personality clashes while having fun.

Unfortunately, building workplace relationship aren’t that easy. We can’t play dance music and hope everyone comes together in harmony. Yet there are some basic steps an organization can take to effectively bring people together as a team. This session puts synergy in motion.

Make what makes you different make a difference. (Not Divide)
