Opening Remarks: Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., President, Society for Human Resource Management

Developing and Implementing an Outward Mindset

Mindset is how we see others and the world. It is the lens through which we see our work, relationships, and our world. From an inward mindset, we focus only on our own goals and objectives, without consideration for our impact on others. An outward mindset allows you to see new possibilities and solutions.

Presenter: Corey Leneker, MPA, Executive Leadership Coach & Leadership Consultant

Diverse Teams Make Better Products, Services and Profits

Many diverse talent candidates are undervalued and underestimated. Steven Matly knows about being underestimated. After dropping out of high school, he became an entrepreneur who turned $5,000 into businesses generating six-figures. Matly then launched his own diversity and inclusion firm that helps organizations hire diverse talent and better understand how, “if we don’t consciously include, we will unconsciously exclude.” Steven’s story will motivate you to commit to developing a more diverse talent pool and better teams.

Presenter: Steven Matly, Founder & CEO, SM Diversity
