Randi Bryant Biography
Randi Bryant is an entrepreneur, author, public speaker, trainer, and diversity and inclusion strategist who has spent over two decades focusing on substantive changes rather than simply checking the diversity and inclusion box. As the Sista-intendent of Inclusivity, she cultivates dialogues that tackle tough racial, gender, and cultural issues, aiming to create spaces where everyone feels like they belong. She is also the founder and president of Bryant Consulting Group, a leading change management company that she has run for 17 years.
Bryant has extensive experience as a DEI strategist, having worked with notable companies such as McDonald’s, Benefit Cosmetics, Marriott Hotels, Comcast, and the New York Transit Authority. In June 2021, she joined Freshworks as its Vice President and Chief DEI Officer. Her work is largely based on the power of communication to lead to inclusive environments where individuals feel comfortable being their authentic selves. Her trademarked “Fingerprint to Blueprint” method of change management, which she designed, is a testament to her innovative approach to fostering inclusivity.
As a published author, Bryant offers practical advice on navigating difficult-to-discuss topics. Her works include "Neversays: 25 Phrases You Should Never Ever Say to Keep Your Job and Your Friends" and "Truthing", and she had an essay included in the anthology "All The Women in My Family Sing". These publications are based on the belief that people are good, but often uninformed and uncomfortable with difference, and they provide insightful guidelines on addressing these issues.
Bryant holds a Bachelor of Arts in English from Tuskegee University, a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Design with a focus on multiculturalism from The College of William & Mary, and has pursued doctoral studies in curriculum and instruction management at the University of Virginia. She is often sought after as a speaker, delivering engaging and informative presentations globally and appearing as a DEI speaker on several radio and podcast shows. She has been featured on media platforms such as Sirius XM, Sheen Magazine, Black News Channel, and KGMI News Talk Radio, and is active on social media platforms such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

Randi Bryant Speaking Topics
It’s naïve to think that people who have largely lived in homogenous communities and have gone to homogenous schools would be armed with the tools necessary to operate in a diverse workforce. This is particularly true where sociologic history and evolution have led us to feel most comfortable operating in silos of commonality. However, this type of isolation does not allow individuals or organizations to work most effectively. And while individuals may raise diversity concerns at home or in their social circles, they are less likely to air concerns at work. Accordingly, the facilitation of open and honest conversations is key.
Key Elements:
- Seeing how we are all products of our experience.
- Gaining a real understanding of the inclusion problem.
- Identifying the tools to drive real progress on inclusion.
Over the past twenty years many companies and organizations have invested substantially in diversifying the workforce. In many instances, these efforts have increased the number of women and minority employees at work. But recruiting diverse employees is of limited value if you are not able to retain them. The most critical factor in employee satisfaction and retention is to make employees feel both included and engaged. This program outlines the path from mere diversity to inclusion.
Key Elements:
- Discussion of how feelings of safety and belonging govern human need.
- Combatting the attrition that continues to be higher for women and minority employees because of a lack of inclusion.
- How to ensure employees of all backgrounds, genders and races feel seen, heard and involved in your organization and its mission.
Who knew that Aretha Franklin was giving us sage business advice when she crooned, “All I'm askin' for is a little respect”? Good communication abilities are consistently identified as one of the most important skills for employees and leaders to possess; and feeling respected is the most desired feeling that people want to have in communications. So how does one -- especially in this ever-changing, highly diverse, fast-paced, technology-centric world – communicate in a way that is effective and efficient, yet leaves all participants feeling respected? Quite frankly, it is a skill. One that must be learned and practiced. It differentiates leaders, grows companies, strengthens teams, and increases profits. In most instances when respect is deemed lacking, or offenses occur, it is not because of bad intentions but rather a lack of information. This session is designed to arm attendees with the considerations and tools necessary to avoid these unintended offenses in communications, particularly of those who are different from you.
Key Elements
- The most important trait of good communication is conveying respect.
- Practical tools to avoid inadvertently offending those whom are different from you.
- Most people are not malicious or ill-intentioned, but rather just under-informed.
- Good communication must be conscious and deliberate.
