The DEI

Oracle

Bringing Human Centered Approaches back to Inclusion

Why?

To boost value-driven innovation for courageous leaders who want to open their spaces to diverse voices.

“We took a close look at our data set’s more diverse companies, which as we have seen are more likely to outperform financially. The common thread for these diversity leaders is a systematic approach and bold steps to strengthen inclusion.”

McKinsey (2020)

“Having a diverse workforce not only can positively impact your company’s financial bottom line, but it also can enhance your company culture. And as leaders, we know that having satisfied employees ultimately helps with client retention, which improves profitability.”

Forbes (2023)

A bit about me

Hi!

I’m Karim. I’m a diversity bomb, scared to embrace his spiritual side. But, with a little nudge from my friends, I became The DEI Oracle.

I combine inner knowing with industry knowledge to center the voices of under-represented groups within your organization. Combining mind, body and heart to create holistic approaches to inclusion.

I focus creating moments of connection and integrating your team’s experiences to make sure everyone in your space feels seen, heard and understood. Together, we’ll discover the benefits of creating space for more alignment, creativity and innovation.

With one foot in communication and the other in systemic change, I help you make your spaces as inclusive as they can be.

Curious? Let’s chat!
