The Workplace Belonging Keynote That Your Audience Will Rave About

Organizations  have come a long way in the past five years to embrace diversity and inclusion. 

Using the lens of invisible disability including chronic illness, mental health issues and neurodivergence, Jason and Kristin take their audience on an entertaining journey through the elusive last mile of inclusion to belonging. 

Through a series of thoughtfully irreverent, and hilarious skits, connected by insights and personal stories, Jason and Kristin celebrate how far we’ve come in our DEIB journey while putting the spotlight on areas that continue to be obstacles to belonging including:

  • The hiring process
  • Workplace promotions and leadership culture
  • Communications and relationships

With an equal emphasis on comedy, entertainment and thoughtful insight, “Invisible Differences” is the perfect keynote to bring people together in a recognition of our human differences, vulnerabilities and imperfections. 

“Entertaining and Thought Provoking “
