Diversity & Inclusion Speakers

D&I Speakers are an invaluable part of any agenda, and at JLA we have had the privilege of watching our speakers effect real, tangible change with their audiences. Using moving & powerful storytelling, our speakers are modern-day change bringers, movement leaders and the genuine definition of conversation starters.

They cover topics spanning from key figures and moments throughout history, to unconscious bias, neurodiversity, allyship and equality in all its forms.
The lasting effect of participating in a workshop or watching a panel discussion can range from helping employees to feel seen, to guiding managers with the tools to properly support their teams.

It is always a good idea to hear from diverse perspectives. The implications of not having diverse opinions and insights can materially stunt the growth and opportunity of an organisation. Diversity, Equality and Inclusion produces innovation within a company, transforming tired approaches into fresh strategies that can propel company culture and employee engagement.

No matter the brief, your dedicated JLA Account Manager will connect you with the perfect speaker.
