GUEST & KEYNOTE SPEAKING
Let's Talk About Ways to Create Environments that are:
Inclusive
Values Aligned
Human Focused
Trauma Informed
Genuinely inclusive environments create space for people to feel like they belong.
When people don’t have to spend mental and emotional energy wondering if they’re actually welcome, that energy can be redirected towards connection, creativity, and collaboration.
Inclusive Branding and Leadership Development
Crystal works with leaders and brands as a diversity keynote speaker and leadership development facilitator who cares deeply about equity inclusion, and belonging to create human-focused environments and experiences rooted in core values.
Her vision is to inspire leaders, educators, and disruptors to embody their values and their purpose to create environments that are brave, collaborative, and inclusive.

“What I love about Crystal's presentation style is that she practices what she shares! She taught our group about the importance of identifying and living out our core values through our work. We learned it is important to project what we value in our written word, in our imagery, and in our speech. If you want to learn and work with someone who is authentic and dedicated, look no further.”
