Cleared Hot
PowerPoints/Handouts Available

You have permission to engage! Whether it’s employee engagement or customer, team, or personal engagement, individuals have to be engaged before they can execute an order and move forward, in whatever area the organization is strategically trying to improve. Vernice Armour, former Diversity Program Manager, Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps and liaison officer to the Pentagon, reveals that giving employees permission to engage from the inside out, the result of building an inclusive, flexible and effective work environment, is the key. Once that happens, your organization will be cleared hot—as you learn how to:

  • Harness the power of a “breakthrough mentality.”
  • Lead through mentorship, to unleash the full potential of diversity and impact the bottom line.
  • Leverage functional and individual diversity as a strategic advantage, while teaching everyone to be a diversity ambassador.
  • Enhance work culture through flexible and effective policies and practices.
  • Create breakthroughs for your teams in five simple steps.
