2025: A Manifesto for Inclusive Perspectives

2025: A Manifesto for Inclusive Perspectives

2025 marks my 15th year as an HBDI®-certified practitioner, a journey that includes over 200 individual profiles and 600+ hours of debriefing. I’ve led more than 30 team profile sessions, 

transforming groups ranging from 10 to 80 participants through 1- to 3-day immersive leadership programs. This experience has shown me the power of diverse 

thinking and the transformative potential of honoring every perspective.

empathy, and innovation to build a world where every voice contributes to a brighter, balanced future.
