Embracing Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

I like to present based on my own experiences as well as information and research sourced from my discussions and other data.
I like to make my audiences feel comfortable 'really going there' to get to the hard questions and productive answers.
I believe in my topic, and I love working with all types of organizations.

Jade Johnson is an engaging communicator and a leading expert at helping leaders improve and maintain stronger Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (“DEI”) programs. She promotes a method of open dialogue and self-awareness so that all leaders can recognize bias and common traps while also recognizing what may already be working.
In her presentations, she is unafraid to challenge leaders of all levels and backgrounds to consider DEI in a more hands-on manner, and she believes that DEI is something for which all leaders have a part to play within an organization.
Before expanding her professional speaking, Jade spent 17 years working in various global banks in numerous Compliance departments. She has delivered presentations to banks, hospital networks and social service centers. She takes a practical approach to help leaders understand what can be achieved, one step at a time.
While Jade does love speaking and inspiring staff/leaders, she loves her family and her ‘forever puppy’. She resides in New York City.
