Here's Some Of Courtney's  Signature Keynotes

Beyond the Checkbox: Making Equity Real in Your Workplace


Diversity statements look good on paper—but what’s really changing? This session digs deep into how to move from performative to powerful when it comes to equity. We’ll unpack the hidden systems that hold bias in place and show how to dismantle them with intention, accountability, and real culture change. No fluff. No tiptoeing. Just truth, tools, and transformation.

Power, Privilege & the Everyday: What Equity Work Really Looks Like


This isn’t a history lecture—it’s a mirror. In this provocative keynote, we explore how power and privilege show up in day-to-day decisions and how to lead with equity at every level. Attendees will walk away with a deeper understanding of systemic inequities and a clear path to creating more inclusive, justice-driven environments.

Calling In vs. Calling Out: The New Rules of Courageous Conversations


Shaming people into silence doesn’t create change. This interactive session teaches the art of “calling in”—how to challenge bias, foster accountability, and build equity through honest, constructive dialogue. Perfect for leaders, HR pros, and teams ready to lead with clarity and compassion.
