Tru Pettigrew Speaking Topics

We Can All Be Bridge Builders

We live in a world that is plagued with division in practically every facet of life; racially, politically, socially, and so much more. We need people to understand how to build bridges across those divides now more than ever. And most of us want to be the Bridge Builders that the world so desperately needs. We just don’t know how. We are tired of the pain, suffering, sickness, and destruction that these seeds of division are causing in our lives. And we want to know how to resolve, heal, and reconcile across these differences. This session serves as a guide for corporate and community leaders to be able to Build Bridges of Trust, Legitimacy, Empathy and Understanding across any and all differences. Whether those differences be racial divides, gender divides, generational divides, or relational divides of any kind.
DEI & WHY

This session will provide participants with clearly articulated definitions of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. These definitions will serve as the foundation from which to build. Participants will then be engaged in dialogue that will help them better understand how these three components are linked, but also still very distinct. The primary purpose and key take-a-way for this session is for defining and applying Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in a way that provides attendees with a clear roadmap, as to why each of these components are important, how to apply them in a seamlessly integrated manner, and what the expected outcomes should be when done effectively.

Leading With Purpose

People are not only seeking purpose in their personal lives, but they want to align themselves with organizations that have, and provide them with a sense of purpose. People are seeking to align themselves with brands and organizations who “Lead With Purpose.” Learn how to become one of those organizations. This session equips organizations with the insights, process, and tools to effectively Lead With Purpose, while simultaneously empowering its members with The 4 P’s of Purpose-Driven Leadership Principles and the 5 C’s of Purpose-Driven Leadership Attributes.

Tapping Into Your Greatness

Greatness is inside all of us. It is not some rare attribute that is reserved for a select few. It is a choice that is available to us all. This session helps to reveal the respective greatness inside of each attendee through fun, engaging, and interactive exercises and story-telling. Attendees walk away inspired with the knowledge that they have been created to achieve greatness in every dimension of their lives, and empowered with the tools and understanding of how to tap into that greatness. Key take-a-ways include a clear understanding of why they should tap into their greatness, a roadmap of how to tap into their greatness, and what the benefits are for themselves and those around them when they do so.

Inclusive Leadership

We are at a point in our world’s history where we are the most diverse we’ve ever been. And we are growing more and more diverse year over year. Understanding how to lead across all of those forms of diversity through Inclusive Leadership is paramount. This session equips attendees with leadership insights, processes, and tools to effectively employ Inclusive Leadership, while simultaneously empowering its team members to do the same. Benefits include a more inclusive culture where people are inclined to co-create and collaborate on thoughts, ideas, and solutions that benefits the organization and the greater good of all involved.
