Lorraine Hariton Speaking Topics

  • Building a Future of Work for Woman

    It has been a challenging year for women, particularly women of color. The Covid-19 pandemic has upended the workplace—with millions of people now working from home, unemployed, or putting their lives at risk every day as essential workers. Many women are struggling to deal with the dual responsibilities of work and child• or eldercare. And women of color are especially experiencing disproportionate rates of job loss. Systemic inequities, stereotypes, and bias all contribute to the disproportionate negative impact of the pandemic on women’s lives and careers.

  • The Future is Here. Is Your Workplace Ready?

    If your resolution is to create a gender-inclusive workplace, what do you need to do to succeed? In 2020, this question has a special urgency. With breakthrough technologies, social movements, globalization, polarizing politics, and the #MeToo movement, diverse and inclusive workplace cultures are more important than ever. Lorraine provides a roadmap to drive innovation, competition and financial performance.

  • Defeating Gender Bias

    Eliminating bias in the workplace is THE critical issue for businesses globally. Lorraine coaches male-dominate C-suite execs on how to advocate the acceleration of women, and women of color, in the workplace.
