Courageous Changemakers
Executive Speakers Bureau
Once our eyes have been opened to the injustices that have taken place around us it is impossible to “unopen” them. Lives and reputations have been put on the line so that we can all work and thrive in environments conducive to creativity and growth, free of harassment and feared backlash when such harassment is spoken out against. We see those faces of the movement, brave women—and men—who have come forward to shed light on changes that must be made yet are also aware that behind the scenes there are even more standing up for what is right and guiding the trajectory of personal and corporate transformation. We are proud to represent these changemakers, too, whose work shows how far we’ve come and the continued progress we seek.

has been viewed millions of times, Pamela Meyer is considered one of the country’s leading experts on the science of deception. Her techniques are critical to business leaders wanting to maintain a fair and ethical workplace by helping them to identify truth in and a focus on critical facts which lead to better “negotiating, selling, protecting and interviewing.” Meyer references both real-life examples and research findings to help her audience members identify deception in everything from emails to body language. She empowers those working behind the scenes to maintain the standards required of everyone to ensure an honest work environment with mutually respectful relationships between leadership and team members.
Ideally, a company will never face the ramifications of personal and/or workplace injustice because it will have an employee and leadership base of people driven by high character. If, however, missteps have been made by some resulting in an unpleasant workplace for all, there is absolutely still room for corrective measures leading to growth and a continued path to success. Dr. Bruce Weinstein, “The Ethics Guy”, is a highly sought-after speaker whose presentations on the power of personal character have been shared with clients such as the National Football League, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and Northrop Grumman. He writes an online column for Fortune magazine that is published twice a week and has been a guest on NBC’s Today Show, ABC’s Good Morning America, and many others. Weinstein, who asserts that “character is the missing link to excellence”, is an expert consistently in high demand, a welcomed indication that leaders are listening and seeking positive ways to engage in both the conversation and corrective actions pertaining to today’s movements against injustices.
Change begins with conversation and best-selling author Susan Scott understands the magnitude of change such conversation can bring about. Her book Fierce Conversations-Achieving Success at Work and in Life, One Conversation at a Time, has been published in four countries and was one of USA Today’s top 40 business books of 2009. Though necessary, engaging in conversation can be quite difficult, especially when addressing life and career-impacting topics. For more than two decades now Scott has been “challenging people to say the things that can’t be said” and empowering executives with the tools needed for “vibrant dialogue with one another, with their employees, and with their customers.” She has worked with leaders in eighteen countries, establishing herself as a force in the movement towards positive change in the workplace.
