Verificado @ncais.orgLenora recently spoke at the NCAIS Culturally Competent Schools Conference and she was terrific...great topics and engaging discussions. Even though her session times were in the afternoon, she came early, stayed with us throughout the day and interacted with conference participants. The next time you are looking for an outstanding diversity and inclusion keynote or workshop speaker , I would recommend you consider Lenora. She is a former trustee of Greensboro Day School, and has been a diversity consultant for independent schools, as well as all types of corporate and non-profit organizations. She really understands what it takes to make diversity and inclusion work on our campuses.

Verificado @jewels.comLenora Billings-Harris is a dynamic and engaging Diversity and Inclusion practitioner that I had the pleasure of observing in action during her facilitation of Turning Barriers Into Bridges: Building World Class Teams. Lenora is a thought leader in the areas of D&I and team dynamics as well as a subject matter expert on the DiSC behavioral model. I found my time with Lenora to be a valuable professional and personal experience due to the introspective activities and debrief sessions. Lenora's classes are an open forum for constructive discussion; participants walk away feeling enlightened and empowered to affect positive changes around building relationships with team members to meet the organization’s common goals. I look forward to our continued partnership!
