This one feels different.

Not just because it’s 10 years…
but because of everything it took to get here.

The rooms I stayed in.
The moments I questioned.
The people who believed anyway.

If you’ve been part of this journey in any way…

I would love to see you in the room.

So ... be in the room

You don’t usually get to see speakers like this.

On April 30, ten experienced speakers take the stage at Breaking Through Live, each delivering a tight 15-minute keynote in front of a live audience.

I’ll be speaking on No More Patch Jobs: Stop Repairing Culture. Start Designing It and sharing how to stop reacting to culture problems and start designing them differently from the start.

The format is what makes it interesting. Back-to-back talks. No filler.

It moves fast. You see what connects. A few moments stick with you.

It’s a great event, and if you’re an event professional, there’s more:You can attend as a guest, and you’ll be eligible for a keynote giveaway valued up to $25,000.

Ten years of The People Company Consulting Group.

What started as a belief has grown into a body of work centered on one core idea:
we don’t fix culture—we design it.

On May 14, we will take a moment to honor that journey.
The organizations, leaders, and partners who have moved this work forward in meaningful ways.

This is not just a celebration of time.
It’s a recognition of what it actually takes to build cultures where people feel respected, valued, and able to thrive.

We’re bringing together a room of leaders and organizations who understand that this work requires intention, clarity, and consistency.

If that aligns with how you lead and what you’re building, we invite you to join us.

We’ve spent years teaching people what bias is.But that’s not the question anymore.

The real question is this: What do you do when something actually happens?

Because that’s where culture is revealed. Not in the training. In the response. In what gets addressed. What gets avoided. What gets repaired. That’s where trust is built… or lost.

I’m hosting a conversation on what comes next:
Beyond Bias Training: The New Rules of Trust, Transparency, and Accountability

Let me say this plainly.

Bias training isn’t the problem.
Stopping there is.

Most organizations didn’t fail because they didn’t know better.
They failed because they didn’t lead differently when it mattered.

And people can feel that.

They feel it in what doesn’t get addressed and in what isn’t repaired. They feel it In the gap between what’s said and what’s actually done. That’s where trust breaks.

We’re in a different moment now. People aren’t looking for perfect leaders. They’re looking for credible ones who act and own their leadership. They looking for leaders who don’t avoid the hard moments. That’s the shift.

I’m digging into this in my upcoming session,

I have been thinking a lot lately about the work people do that never makes it into a job description.

The work of reading the room, deciding when to speak and when to stay quiet, softening your voice so you are not misunderstood, or carrying tension and still delivering excellence.

Some people do that every single day. And it takes something from them: Energy.Creativity.
Joy.

We often talk about burnout as if it is only about workload. Sometimes it is about vigilance.

On February 25 at 11:30 AM CDT, I am hosting a live webinar called, Invisible Labor, Real Impact.

We are going to have an honest conversation about workplace emotional load, what it costs, and what leaders can do differently.

If you have felt this, you are not alone. If you lead people, this is your invitation to pay attention.

As you enter 2026, keep this in mind:

Inclusion is a promise we keep or break one decision at a time.

May the coming year reflect courage, clarity, and cultures built with belonging at the center.

Thank you for journeying with me.

Now that 2025 is officially behind us, the lesson is clear: DEIB didn’t vanish. It was stress-tested.

What last year exposed is that culture can’t be sustained by language alone. Employees paid attention to behavior, follow-through, and consistency. When values didn’t show up in decisions, trust eroded.

2026 is not about rebranding the work. It’s about rebuilding credibility. Designing belonging intentionally. And leading with courage instead of comfort.

This reflection from UMOJA Magazine captures it well:
https://www.umojamagazine.com/article/the-year-in-deib-what-2025-taught-us-and-where-were-headed-in-2026/

As we close out 2025, one thing is unmistakably clear. This wasn’t the year DEI disappeared; it was the year DEI revealed the truth about who we are, what we […]

As you begin 2026, pause, reflect, and name one place where you’ve grown as a leader during 2025.

Then name one place where you need to grow next.

Belonging begins with self-honesty.

Carry that into the new year.
