Dr Liz - Hire Keynote and Guest Speaker

Dr Liz

Tech start-up founder and CEO, Inclusionist-behavioral scientist, organizational transformation expert

Dr. Liz, who holds a Ph.D. in organizational culture and behavior, is on a mission to create a world where everyone is included and valued for their difference. For the first 20+ years of her career, Dr. Liz worked with some of the world’s most notable brands through their business transformations until she witnessed the discrimination of a loved one.

From that moment on, she has dedicated herself to finding a solution to discrimination. By combining her organizational transformation and behavioral science expertise, Dr. Liz went to work and discovered a simple solution that eliminates the focus on our differences and focuses on “The 8 Specific Needs of All People©”.

With a desire to create a world where everyone is included, Dr. Liz knew she had to work out a way to equip everyone to be inclusive. From this, Include was born. In August 2020, Dr. Liz secured venture capital in a year when only 2% of venture capital funds were invested in female founders.

Fast forward 12-months, and Include is now the world’s first enterprise software designed to equip everyone to make inclusive decisions in real-time.

Dr. Liz is not your average DEI keynote presenter. She invites you into her life with insightful honesty and humor, serving as the mirror for the audience on how the exclusion people face is not because of their difference but because of the barriers we put in their place. Breaking the news to participants that celebrating labels with cupcakes won’t get us to inclusion, she shares a simple yet powerfully impactful approach to creating an environment where all people can thrive.

So, whether you’re after a keynote speaker to fill a venue of thousands or a workshop for a small group, you are guaranteed an event to be remembered with Dr. Liz.

Testimonials for Dr Liz

Dr. Liz’s talk was the absolute highlight of the conference - she is authentic and hilarious! I walked away super inspired and blown away!

Dr. Liz engaged, inspired, and motivated our attendees with simple and practical examples on how to make modifications to the way they do business to make this world a more inclusive place for everyone.

I highly recommend Dr. Liz as a keynote speaker on how workplaces can be more inclusive and how processes can be designed to meet the needs of everyone. She has a captivating style and the feedback received was fantastic.

WOW!! Totally blown away by this morning's event and have walked away feeling emotional but with a stronger wanting to help the inclusion journey we're all on. I felt that the comment of today is that WE need to adapt ourselves not the person with the disability - they've dealt with enough without having to worry about how WE feel and how to make US comfortable!! I'm with Dr Liz and calling BS on that - the time to change has arrived.....

... I walked away equipped with a level of social awareness that I would’ve otherwise not had access to... A big thank you to Scott and Liz for sharing their personal stories with us.

I’ve learnt a bit about being more Inclusive! Disabled people are still people, not scary people - Dr Liz Wilson shared the sad story of how her deaf husband Scott and the person that signs for him sat alone on a F45 conference table - no one, not even fitness industry leaders, were brave enough to step away from their cohort and out of their comfort zone and sit with them! ... Liz also shared that able bodied people can have a physical response to discrimination – they may draw back, screw up their face. And that that bias is learned.
