Building Wealth Through Diversity IN Action Systems
Drocella Mugorewera The Diversity Trust Builder

Three key reasons why organizations struggle with employee retention:

 

1. Insufficient Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): Without a genuine and visible dedication to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace, employees may feel undervalued, marginalized, or disconnected, leading to higher turnover.

2. Weak or Inadequate Health and Wellness Programs: When companies fail to prioritize employee well-being through robust health and wellness initiatives, it can result in burnout, decreased job satisfaction, and ultimately, employee attrition.

3. Absence of Comprehensive Mentorship and Training Programs: Employees who lack access to structured mentorship and professional development opportunities are more likely to seek growth and advancement elsewhere, causing organizations to lose valuable talent.

Employee turnover is knocking business down.  Let us help you to codesign a Diversity IN Action System that will fuel productivity, uplevel your company culture and turning your employees into your loyal champions/ambassadors.

Why focusing on good digestion and elimination can help you be more productive, see your clearly, and make better judgements.  When someone is eating, digesting, absorbing, and eliminating easily, it seems as though everything else just falls into place.  The gut is known as the second brain so when things are not 100% great in the gut nothing else seems to flow as easily.

 

Poop is important! I bring a fun, light-hearted way of talking about what happens or doesn't happen in the bathroom. Why it is important to talk about bowel movements, digestion, and the health implications of having chronic diarrhea and/or constipation.  What food sensitivities or allergies look like and why so many people have them but are unaware.

Loving Ourselves - Why is it Important for She who leads?
Sreelatha Meleth Peace, Power & Presence

Sree will discuss her book of Meditations and how one can learn to love and accept all the parts of oneself that we have learned to push away, suppress, or even hate.  

She will discuss how, when we are completely comfortable with all aspects of ourselves, we can lead effortlessly. Our light shines through us, and we permit others to shine their light. Once we accept ourselves completely, we provide a safe space for others to find and love the parts of themselves that they have rejected and pushed away. 

Hating & disparaging ourselves is easy. Loving ourselves is our only purpose because every other purpose derives from that.
