THE GAME HAS CHANGED!

It’s time to break free from initiatives that become silos in company culture. Every business loves to flex DEI, employee wellness, sustainability, corporate responsibility, plus customer experience upgrades–all aimed at crafting a top-tier workplace vibe. But rather than keeping them separate, it’s time to integrate them seamlessly into a dynamic overall environment that screams, we rock with our people, we roll with our community, and we support a world that wants to be better than the BS.

HINT
IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR PEOPLE!

A top-notch workplace thrives on its people. The atmosphere isn’t shaped by your plans and initiatives; it’s defined by the folks making it happen. Your people-led integrated approach to culture starts with having the right leader and team in place. Cultures vibe better when every team member understands their role, feels safe, and trusts the process.
 

THIS IS WHERE THE BADDEST CULTURE COACH IN THE BUSINESS HITS NOTHING BUT NET!

In this keynote, Risha shares stories of empathetic, emotionally intelligent badasses who embrace connected culture and cultivating tight-knit teams because they chose to be better than their BS. The heart of the message revolves around her BET Framework, which demonstrates how personal improvement is the foundation to achieve organizational growth and transform culture. She also shows how personal growth ignites a slow but powerful transformation that positively impacts your team’s hustle, morale, and connection to consumers. Let her take your company culture from divided and disconnected to cooperative and connected.

WE WANT TO BE BETTER!

We’ve got you! International Speaker, Best-selling author, and Corporate BS Finder, Risha Grant will coach your team to success. Named one of the top ten most powerful women in HR and one of the top 40 female keynote speakers, she is poised to take your culture from toxic to transformational. Not because of the accolades, but because recognizing and conquering her own BS is what propelled her to reach every goal, she set for herself. From securing a Division One basketball scholarship to building a thriving multi-seven figure business that allows her to speak on global stages and hit several bestsellers lists, including the Wall Street Journal with her latest book, Be Better Than Your BS. Risha’s got the playbook locked and loaded. With half of her life dedicated to basketball and the other half grindin’ in the business world, she brings a unique perspective to educate and motivate by mixing in her DE&I-infused expertise with 25 years of business acumen.

Be Better Than Your Bsby Risha Grant

Be Better Than Your Bs

by Risha Grant
A book on DEI in the workplace that speaks not only to executives but to employees at all levels of a company, by award-winning diversity consultant Risha Grant.

DEI consultant and corporate speaker, Risha Grant, shares her practice of learning how to welcome and embrace people's full humanity, without BS, full stop. What's BS? It's bullshit for sure, but more specifically it's the powerful and often invisible belief systems we've been steeped in since birth--the judgment and bias we carry with us that impact our own lives and the many others we encounter every day. Risha teaches us about the inner work and the outer work we need to do to dismantle our "biasphere," and change how we see ourselves and how we interact with others. The more people are willing to acknowledge and address the biases inherent in their belief systems, the more those biases will dissipate and the better our work environments will become.

Readers will learn how to:

  • Recognize when your BS manifests as "isms" and phobias that follow you to work
  • Cure scarcity mentality, a damaging byproduct of fear
  • Validate other people's experiences
  • Become a real ally
  • Engage in micro efforts that can effect change on a macro level
  • Create an environment that fosters a sense of belonging for everybody; that is, "get in where you fit in"
  • Abolish groupthink and create space for diverse ideas
  • Design explicit feedback channels
  • Generate truly inclusive policies that people can trust
  • Spot and stop bullying (it doesn't always look the way you think it does)
  • Understand that equality isn't equity; the difference leads to everyone getting what they need
