“Think Beyond the Surface”

Marta Kappl and Caitlyn Alario offer speaking engagements for organizations seeking to hear from and become inspired by thought leaders focused on topics of inclusion, diversity of thought and being, and identity. Through storytelling, fueled by experiential engagement and research, we offer distinctive perspectives and insight. We specialize in topics that are inextricable from any institutions desire to achieve their social impact goals and create a culture of belonging. We all know that when we feel like we belong we achieve more, deliver greater value, build confidence and do so with greater joy.

What makes us different? Speaking from firsthand experience and deep understanding of the importance of the topics mentioned above, we engage our audiences from a personal, global and delightfully colorful set of experiences and observations. No one wants to be lectured to or marketed to. In life, everyone feels marginalized at one time or another. Every participant we touch is driven to deeper personal reflection which drives greater self-awareness. How can students, faculty, employees, managers, rising leaders and senior leaders find the vulnerability, courage and empathy to navigate with greater nuance in their human engagement and in their leadership? We have some ideas waiting for you.
