  Jessica Pettitt Profile

Jess Pettitt, M.Ed., CSP, has always had a foot in two different approaches to her life. Perhaps it is her Texas roots, but she believes to thrive in this world you have to ride two horses at once – one of humility and one of ego.

This is why while hosting and performing stand-up in NYC she also worked as a diversity and inclusion specialist as a day job. She quit her day job after a decade and almost 20 years later still uses humor to deliver actionable content related to everything you ever wanted to know about where leadership and diversity collide but are afraid to ask. Though often referred to as a thought leader, Jess responds that she just makes leaders think.

For Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work to stick, the first step is a conversation that matters about what you don't know you don't know then you can do the best you can with what you have some of the time without getting sued, losing talent, or failing customers.

Conversations That Matter

Conversations That Matter
Let's face it, there are people and topics that at some point are just off limits. Even worse, often it is a difficult topic that you have to bring up with a difficult person. What if you could engage in these conversations with more confidence, humor, and ease? Understanding yourself and others as differently right gives you the tools to intentionally design teams, groups, and partnerships that can bring value to a single project or topic. Before you know it, you are having better conversations and fuller relationships with those around you.

Good Enough Now

Good Enough Now
Sitting around pointing fingers and waiting for change to appear on the horizon — has it ever worked for you? Do you feel imbalance between who you are and who you think you should be? Do you see fulfillment, better relationships, and stronger teamwork as something to work for, but not possible now? In her breakthrough message, author and keynote speaker Jess Pettitt reveals the truth about how we can be the best versions of ourselves now, and how we can immediately improve our companies, relationships, and communities. Good Enough Now is an innovative and practical guide to ridding yourself of self-doubt, self-limiting beliefs, and habitual excuses.

Why Diversity Initiatives Fail

Why Diversity Initiatives Fail
After 15 years of direct diversity trainings, Jess Pettitt, CSP, has uncovered why change doesn't stick. Human Resources Professionals are being asked to wear a million hats and ensure that the organization won't get sued. This doesn't lead to an inclusive work culture. Let's spend a day in the life of a change crusher. Let's look at a dozen or so contradictory characters that make up your office staff under the magnifying glass and solve the mystery of what you can do with what you already have to make your diversity initiatives stick.
