Inclusion and belonging are not just cultural or social concepts, they are deeply rooted in neuroscience. Join us as we explore the neuroscience behind inclusion and explore how creating a sense of belonging can reshape not only our organizations but also our brains, explaining the full potential of diverse, transform individuals, teams, organizations, and connected communities.
Meet our speaker!
Amy Jeffers is a seasoned expert in diversity, equity, and inclusion, with over a decade of experience in the field. As the founder of Flourish Training, which she established in 2020, she specializes in educating leaders and organizations on the role our brains play in, and often get in the way of, building equitable and inclusive workplaces (hint: it’s called bias)! Her approach combines neurology, nerdy research, quiet reflection, and humor to help you re-envision workplaces that foster belonging.
Before launching Flourish, Amy spent 13 years in the recruiting industry where she was a leader of top-performing teams, a trailblazer for local and national DEI efforts, and a consultant to hundreds of companies navigating their DEI journeys. As a white-bodied person in this field, she works to use her unearned privilege for good, engaging with the responsibility to be an instrument for change and leading by example through this messy, non-linear and often slow journey. She hails from Flint, MI and now calls Portland home where she enjoys the foodie culture, the forest and the ocean, and building communities where EVERYONE can FLOURISH.
