About
My talks empower leaders and employees to: Prevent the lawsuit: Understand and mitigate employment risks, ensuring compliance and ethical practices. Protect the culture: Identify and dismantle the top ten barriers to inclusion, fostering an environment where everyone can thrive. Preserve trust: Equip your teams with the cultural intelligence and leadership skills needed to navigate uncertainty and drive innovation. I speak directly to the truth that people progress at the rate of their own self-interest. My sessions are designed to spark that self-interest, moving individuals and organizations from intention to impact. We'll explore topics like "Navigating Uncertainty with C.A.L.M." and "The New Rules of DEI: Protect Your Clients. Protect Your Firm. Protect Yourself." If you're ready to move beyond aspirational goals and build a truly inclusive, resilient, and high-performing workplace, let's talk. Your future is calling, and with a strategic roadmap, you don't have to answer alone.
HOW TO IMPLEMENT LEGALLY SOUND DEI PROGRAMS THAT IMPROVE RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION
In recent years, legal departments and organizations have faced growing uncertainty around how to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion without political backlash or legal exposure. At the same time, data consistently confirms that inclusive workplaces yield higher engagement, improved retention, and stronger performance outcomes. This session is designed to help attorneys, in‑house counsel, and HR leaders navigate this tension—creating DEI programs that withstand scrutiny, align with evolving legal standards, and deliver measurable results in workforce development. Drawing upon more than 20 years of experience as an employment attorney and organizational strategist, Natalie will share field‑tested frameworks that she has used to: Increase applicant flow by over 80%, Strengthen the recruitment of historically underrepresented professionals in STEM by 23%, and Build culture and belonging strategies that thrive across any administration or political climate. Attendees will gain practical strategies for designing DEI programs that meet both compliance and culture objectives, including how to operationalize a lawful business case, structure impact metrics, and avoid common legal pitfalls.
