  Empower Authenticity, Confront Bias and Create a Culture of Inclusion through Radical Acceptance.

  This speech will help audiences and individuals to understand Radical Acceptance and how their BiaSphere, Belief Systems, and BS stop them from welcoming and embracing all of humanity, including their own. Our BS shapes how we feel about ourselves, how we perceive the world, and how we interact with others. Radical acceptance teaches that through authenticity we can connect with others on a deeper level, and create a culture of acceptance and belonging. Mental health and psychological safety are more important now than ever before in the workplace, and companies who create an environment where everyone is allowed to be themselves without fear of rejection, are at the cutting edge of what it means to be an innovative and profitable place to work.

  Risha’s honest, memorable and practical presentation on Radical Acceptance: Be Better Than Your BiaSphere, Belief Systems, and BS blends together stories from her life experiences as a bisexual black woman, former division one athlete, and small business owner to teach audiences how their diversity can become their superpower! Learn how your own behaviors can be shaped by your own BiaSphere, which includes all of the subconscious beliefs, thoughts, feelings and emotions you have about yourself and the rest of the world around you. Radical Acceptance: Be Better Than Your BS will provide your audience members with the awareness and education to help them become better leaders, employees, colleagues, and people.

  Attendees will leave this keynote understanding:

  • The power of authenticity to shift company culture
  • How to use diversity as a competitive advantage
  • The psychological need for belonging
  • How our BiaSphere has shaped our view of the world

• BE BETTER!

  THE GAME HAS CHANGED!

  It’s time to break free from initiatives that become silos in company culture. Every business loves to flex DEI, employee wellness, sustainability, corporate responsibility, plus customer experience upgrades–all aimed at crafting a top-tier workplace vibe. But rather than keeping them separate, it’s time to integrate them seamlessly into a dynamic overall environment that screams, we rock with our people, we roll with our community, and we support a world that wants to be better than the BS.

  HINT: IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR PEOPLE!

  A top-notch workplace thrives on its people. The atmosphere isn’t shaped by your plans and initiatives; it’s defined by the folks making it happen. Your people-led integrated approach to culture starts with having the right leader and team in place. Cultures vibe better when every team member understands their role, feels safe, and trusts the process.

  THIS IS WHERE THE BADDEST CULTURE COACH IN THE BUSINESS HITS NOTHING BUT NET!
