Engaging a Professional Speaker and Trainer

Engaging keynote speakers generate experiences that become unforgettable for meeting attendees. They can have progressive solutions for complex problems, with lived experiences that tell a story that relates to the audience and their situation. They educate, motivate, and inspire new foundations of knowledge while reinforcing best practices (Speakers Bureau of Canada).

Alex McGroarty, author of Bridging the Gap- Reducing Gender Bias in the Workplace and upcoming works – So Now What, Harnessing Grief after Life’s Major Losses and Until We Meet Again, Leo, has had the opportunity to speak to a variety of industries, universities, and chambers as a keynote speaker on the topics of: gender equity, diversity, equity and inclusion and engagement of employees. Her experience and expertise in HR are welcomed by many as the result of her special ability to listen and the desire to help others. Many express the need for a deeper understanding of diversity, equity & inclusion which they hope will lead to feeling comfortable with the issues we deal with in life and the workplace.

By weaving in personal stories, Alex can take the audience through historical perceptions of gender equity, DEI and engagement, understanding of our biases and putting plans in place to forward equity and engagement within the workplace.
