Speaker Bio

Carrie and the PowerSpeaking team are passionate about helping organizations—at corporations like Genentech, eBay, Autodesk, and Gilead Sciences—develop powerful communication skills that inspire people and get results.

“A large part of our client base is in the high-tech and biotech sectors, so many years ago, we researched and developed HighTechSpeaking®, which helps technical professionals become more clear, strategic, high-impact communicators,” Carrie says. “And in 2018, we launched Confident Speaking for Women, to meet the unique challenges women face in the workplace. Both are now among our most popular programs.”

Prior to joining PowerSpeaking, Carrie enjoyed more than 30 years’ experience in the learning and development industry, where she led award-winning teams. Then, as now, she believes that “Our purpose is to make great people even greater at what they do every day.”

Fun Fact: Outside of work, Carrie loves watching her son compete in the 800 run.

As organizations persist through a challenging economy and periods of layoffs, it is being widely reported how DEI initiatives are the first to be cut and reduced despite an emboldened dedication to improving diversity following events and global movements in 2020. In this session, join two leaders who are spearheading inclusion within their organization for an in-depth discussion on the positive impact of DEI in today’s challenging climate and how as the industry looks to rebuild itself, putting DEI at the center of it all, can provide the solution to revitalize your workforce and unlock new opportunities for innovation.

Key Takeaways:

  • Create a strong pipeline of talent to pave the way forward for business and technology.
  • How individuals can create safe spaces in and outside of work.
  • Learn why DEI is more critical to strategy and business during periods of large layoffs and a recession.
