joe gerstandt’s Summary

- inclusive organizational and community cultures
- intentional relationships
- integral leadership
- innovative practices

I help people and groups of people truly understand Inclusion, Leadership and Innovation. Most of my work is in the area of developing and delivering organizational development programs (including one time presentations, interactive workshops, in-depth retreats for small groups). I have done this work for Fortune 500 Corporations, small non-profits, government entities and everything in between.

Some organizations have me come in once a month or once a quarter to conduct an Inclusive Leadership workshop. Some organizations need a one time presentation on Leveraging Social Media. I have developed a number of programs and the accompanying materials (including e-learning modules) and I have facilitated internally developed programs.

In addition to the organizational work that I do, I conduct some of my own workshops, I do some writing and an increasing amount of public speaking.

Some examples of past speaking engagements:

2009 ICAN Women's Leadership Summit (Transformational Leadership)
2009 Sales and Marketing Execs (What Leadership Means Tomorrow)
2009 Social Media Seminar (A New Way Forward)
2009 Fair Housing Conference (What Difference Means Today)
2009 Human Resources Assoc. of Midlands (Generation X: Magic of Mayhem in the Middle)
2009 Non-Profit Assoc. of Midlands (Innovation for Non-Profit Leaders)
2008 Society for Human Resource Management NE Conference (Innovation for Human Resources)
2008 Exec Council for Civil Rights Training Conference (What Difference Means Today)
2008 Minority Health Conference (Look, See, Tell the Truth)
