About Dinah Richter Spritzer

I increase productivity, profits and performance for individuals and organizations with one word: INCLUSION. I’m also a journalist, professor, and fundraiser. Because no one has to be one thing to make the world a better place. Isn’t that great?I lead the consulting & training firm Inclusion Stars, which can boost your success through greater workplace inclusion. What does that mean?Inclusive workplaces seek to measure and continuously improve:equal chances for women & historically marginalized groupsintercultural competenceemployee engagement accessible communication to fuel innovationharassment-free cultureemotionally intelligent leadershipteam cohesionFor decades, I was a journalist covering social issues and business at premiere publications like NYTimes and USAToday. I saw firsthand how workplace unhappiness and poor leadership correlated with business failure. I also witnessed organizations\' inability to develop top female talent. Rather than be an observer, I wanted to make a difference. Following years of academic certifications and practice at top firms, I deployed strategies that guarantee positive, measurable change.
