"Achieving a sense of belonging and helping individuals reach their full potential requires both systemic changes to our culture and the willingness of individuals to open their hearts and minds. The arts, with their enduring and timeless value, provide us with insights that can be applied by companies to advance their inclusion goals. Through the arts, we can learn about difficult subjects such as bias and power, cultivate emotional intelligence, and find joy and meaning in both our personal and professional lives. I am thrilled to incorporate the wisdom from the arts into our people and culture practices, to build cultures of inclusion that are authentic and sustainable."

Topics Include:
FUTUREPROOF YOUR ORGANIZATIONAL NARRATIVE
Each individual in our organizations has a distinct and unique story. When they joined your team, they stepped into a shared story - the organization's overall narrative. The story or narrative holds the assumptions, values, and purpose of the organization in the world, with each person affected by this narrative. Attendees will be empowered to use narrative as a critical part to design your organization's authentic inclusion journey.
TRANSFORM OUR FUTURE, TOGETHER
Establishing a genuine and trustworthy culture requires ongoing effort and commitment from all levels of an organization. Creating a work environment where people feel comfortable and empowered to be their authentic selves requires a connection with both the head and the heart. As we adapt to new ways of working and connecting in the current landscape, it's important to break down barriers and encourage everyone to showcase their talents and share their stories. In this tailored experience, Evelisa will work with your team to create an exhibit featuring members from across the organization, fostering a sense of inclusivity and connection.
THE 7 MANAGEMENT TOOLS
FROM THE ARTS
Evelisa uses her 7 Success Mindset Tools to create a lively and interactive keynote, leading her audience through exercises specifically focused on helping participants connect, gain confidence, and adapt to change. The mindset tools of the arts include: holding two things to be true, embracing the unexpected, listening and understanding across differences, and adopting a culture of powerful vulnerability. Attendees will develop practices to create psychological safety, cultivate flexibility and gain confidence.
WOMEN WHO LEAD:
BEING OUR MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY
In this keynote, we will explore the values that define effective leadership, including the importance of vulnerability, and how we can set the tone for a positive organizational culture. We will also examine how individuals who identify as female, whether cisgender or transgender, can exercise powerful leadership in roles that have traditionally been associated with masculinity. We will encourage attendees to forge their own path forward and be the role models they always wanted and needed, and we will discuss the power of solidarity and female-to-female support in the leadership journey.
Evelisa's Keynote topics and learning experiences are customizable for your event. Evelisa will work closely with you to develop a unique expression of your convention’s vision or company’s mission.
