You’re a Human Resources Professional in a small to midsize company…and you’re wearing as many hats as you can possibly wear.

You’re constantly putting out fires and taking on more and more tasks and initiatives…some of which you don’t feel especially equipped to do. One of those initiatives is to help your organization become a more inclusive and non-discriminatory workplace…as well as to implement practices and processes that cultivate more racial equity.

And while — as an HR professional — you may be in a position that would naturally play a role in bringing about this shift…that doesn’t mean you’re not scratching your head about how to actually do it — let alone how to do it well.

Race, diversity, and equity are such large and multifaceted subjects…
…and they often bring with them sensitivity, distinct opinions, and a wide range of emotions.

With all of this grey area it often seems impossible to “get it right”...and it’s been tempting for you and others to avoid doing anything simply because you don’t want to get it wrong.

With all of this grey area it often seems impossible to “get it right”...and it’s been tempting for you and others to avoid doing anything simply because you don’t want to get it wrong.

That avoidance has created a culture that is lacking in inclusion…and you know there are many employees who feel unseen, unheard, and undervalued.

You see it in your hiring practices and promotions, where certain people are hired or promoted solely based on their race or gender.

You see it in the defensive way that people react to DEI initiatives, or in the leaders or the employees who don’t react to them at all.

And you see it — or more accurately HEAR it — in the way your team members speak to each other, or avoid discussing any issue that has anything to do with race.

You’re passionate about playing a significant role in bringing about a more equitable and inclusive work culture, and you know your organization has the potential to gain so much from making such an important shift...

…yet without the knowledge and the guidance on how to navigate such a large and often personal issue, you keep falling back on old practices, wondering how you’ll ever begin to bring about the change you really want to see— and the culture you’ve been tasked to create.

Hear this: feeling confused and overwhelmed about how to create a more racially equitable culture is normal…and unfortunately all too common.

That’s because the vast majority of humans — let alone Human Resource Professionals! — have never been taught how to create a racially equitable environment.

Sure, we’ve all heard the buzzwords and the drumbeat about creating more diversity, equity, and inclusion at work…
…but no one has directly taught anyone how to actually do it!

To create a workplace that is inclusive, non-discriminatory, and racially equitable we need to truly LEARN what that means — as well as what that really looks like.

We need to envision a different culture where there is equity and belonging…and we need to explore the mindsets that need to shift so that we begin creating it.

We need to evaluate our current practices and processes so that we’re hiring and promoting based on skill, potential, behavior, and experience instead of solely on race or gender.

And we need to learn how to communicate openly with each other about race, bias, and discriminatory issues in a way that doesn’t create defensiveness, but instead is founded in respect, empathy, and maturity.

When we thoroughly understand what a racially equitable culture looks like — and begin implementing the practices and the processes that create a more inclusive and unbiased workplace — cultural transformation will occur.

And when it does, we’ll feel — as HR leaders and professionals — that we know exactly what to do to continue to cultivate the equitable culture that we seek and the one we’ve been tasked to create.

A culture where:
  • Employees feel safe to talk about race in the workplace
  • Conversations are infused with empathy and respect
  • Workplace discriminatory issues are addressed effectively or avoided altogether
  • ​And curiosity and courage — not defensiveness or avoidance — lead our actions and behaviors

The good news is a new step-by-step framework to help you create this racially equitable culture is HERE.

A framework that will help you envision a more inclusive workplace for your specific organization and employees. A framework that will help you identify the limiting mindsets that need updating in your current culture and the expansive and transformative mindsets that need to take their place. A framework that helps you explore and improve your current practices and processes, including how you hire, address discriminatory issues, or communicate with employees and clients.

And a framework that will help you navigate the often long and winding journey of becoming a more inclusive and racially equitable organization so that you can continually create and improve upon your mission to cultivate a better culture.
I know it may seem impossible to imagine that one framework can allow you to finally begin to experience the cultural transformation you’ve been needing in your organization…but it’s not only possible, it’s 100% doable, too. And I know this is true because I’ve seen it myself, as I’ve coached many organizations, government agencies, and nonprofits to experience cultural transformations of this very magnitude. Now, I can’t wait to help you implement such a transformation in your organization, too.

Hi, I’m Kenston Henderson

I have over 18+ years of experience in Human Resources and 20+ years of experience helping people cultivate the best version of themselves at companies such as Wendy’s, Victoria’s Secret PINK, City of Kalispell Montana, Atwell Group, Phillip Jeffries, Big Brothers Big Sisters Mentoring Center, NetJets Inc., and The Ohio State University.
I’m also the founder and CEO of Live With Lyfe, LLC, as well as a TEDx Signature Speaker, a certified John Maxwell Leadership Speaker and Trainer, a Culture Transformation Champion, recipient of the ICN Dr. Astell Collins Generation Leader Award, and the author of “Winning Conversations: How to Communicate Successfully and Courageously About Race”. I recently did a TEDx Talk called Can We Talk? that was based on racial reconciliation. As a speaker and trainer who focuses on leadership, diversity, equity and inclusion, conflict management, and effective communication, the goal was to equip people who are engaging in what can be seen as uncomfortable conversations with the skills to have winning conversations — conversations that build relationships and heal divides through respect, empathy, and maturity.

That TEDx Talk turned into a workbook for groups and organizations to complete together in their workplaces, so that they can not only have better conversations but create more inclusive and racially equitable cultures. Since then, I have been speaking at HR conferences and organizations far and wide, carrying this message — and this framework — forward.

My mission now is to share this framework with YOU — so that you can finally have a step-by-step guide for how to ignite the cultural transformation you 
know your organization needs. Developing a workplace culture that has 
racial equity, inclusivity, and belonging is no small task, but when you have 
the guidance and a framework to follow, it becomes possible — 
and extremely rewarding. Every workplace CAN be an environment 
where racial equity exists, and every employee deserves to work in such 
a culture.

I’m excited to show you how your organization can begin to make this 
critical shift — and become a culture that is more just, equitable, and 
inclusive for your employees as well as yourself.

Program Breakdown

Module One

The Journey Begins

Why HR + Race in the Workplace is the Key to Your Organization’s Success
We’ll kick off the course by exploring how addressing race in the workplace will impact your organization in all kinds of positive ways. We’ll discuss why the hiring process is the front door to your organization and how it creates your culture, for better or for worse, as well as how it can improve the racial equity within your company. 

You’ll also create a purpose statement of how you want your organization — and yourself — to be in the future regarding race in the workplace so that you can develop a vision and an intention that will drive your progress and success in the program.

In this module, you’ll be guided by the following tool:

  • Envisioning the Future Worksheet that will help you develop your organizational and personal visions about racial equity in the workplace so that you get crystal clear and intentional about what you want to create at work and within yourself and use this program to help you get there

Module TWO

Adopting a Self-Awareness Mindset

In Module Two we’ll explore your current mindsets about racial equity in the workplace and identify the blindspots and limiting beliefs you need to let go of in order to transform your organization’s culture. You’ll also identify the future mindsets you’ll need to adopt to effectively work to transform your culture so that you can get your mind in the right place to succeed most efficiently.

In this module, you’ll be guided by the following tools:

  • Two Iceberg Worksheets that will help you to identify the new mindsets you need to adopt to achieve your goals for racial equity as well as the limiting mindsets that may currently be holding you back

Module THREE

How to Host Winning Conversations about Race

In Module Three, you’ll learn the Respect, Empathy, and Maturity (R.E.M.) framework for having winning conversations about race. We’ll take a deep dive into how your culture is created through your company values, and the importance of being willing to embrace courage over comfort to address situations of racial bias in the workplace. 

You’ll also see examples of the REM framework in action, including conversations that are done well and those that are not. By the end of this module, you’ll have more confidence and courage that you can create a positive impact when talking about race at work.

In this module, you’ll be guided by the following tools:

  • REM Framework Assessment to help you identify where your organization — and you, personally — currently stand in regards to being respectful, empathetic, and mature when handling issues of racial bias and discrimination
  • Game Changer Post Assessment Worksheet to help you identify ways that your organization — and you, personally — can improve your approach and mindsets to communicate more respectfully, empathetically, and maturely when handling issues of racial bias and discrimination

Module four

Transforming Your Hiring Practices for More Racial Equity

In Module Four, we’ll dive into hiring and look closely at the old paradigm hiring practices that typically occur during the hiring lifecycle so that we can identify the bias that has commonly happened in each stage. Then, we’ll use the REM Framework to explore new paradigm hiring practices that support inclusion — such as creating belonging, hearing all voices in a meeting, and naming biases — so that you can begin to hire to create an inclusive and racially equal culture.

In this module, you’ll be guided by the following tools:

  • Hiring Practices Tool — The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly that provides examples of good and bad hiring practices, points out discrimination in job description and hiring practices, and includes templates for how to write a job description, assemble a committee, and go through the application process in a racially equitable way so that you can improve your own hiring practices and create a more inclusive hiring culture
  • Interview Questions that Will Reduce and Limit Bias that will provide you with effective and inclusive questions to ask during your interviews with candidates
  • Bias Scavenger Hunt: Taking Inventory on Your Documents + Tips to Improve Them will help you look at your job descriptions and see if you can spot any negative bias within them. If you do, you’ll be guided to take the necessary steps to be comfortable, curious, and be the game-changer to make it right.

Module five

Creating a Workplace of Excellence and a Culture of Belonging

In Module Five, we’ll discuss how to create a culture where belonging and inclusion are obvious. We’ll discuss opportunities for access, inclusion, and belonging such as mentorship, peer-to-peer partnerships, succession planning, and exploratory programs for employees to try out new roles. You’ll learn nine solid examples of access opportunities that are happening in highly inclusive organizations today. You can consider introducing them into your own so that you can begin to better support your employees and more clearly promote racial equity, inclusion, and belonging in your workplace.

In this module, you’ll be guided by the following tools:

  • Creating a Culture of Belonging Checklist that outlines examples and ideas of ways to provide access, inclusion, and racial equity through new programming for your employees

This resource packet includes the following: Mapping Your Journey to Cultural Transformation and Racial Equity in the Workplace; Tips for Discussing Racial Injustice in the Workplace (includes sample winning conversation scenarios using the R.E.M. Framework to put words into action); Tools for Recruitment and Interviewing Process; and the Comprehensive Game-Changer Resource Tool Box (includes links to articles, video, highly recommended book references, etc.).

Confronting Barriers When Cultivating a New Culture

In Module Six, we’ll discuss what to do when you confront challenges and/or pushback as you work to cultivate more racial equity in your workplace. We’ll explore the most common challenges that pop up in your journey, as well as discuss examples, scenarios, and ways to navigate the challenges so that you can stay on track and keep making progress.

In this module, you’ll be guided by the following tool:

  • Challenges Checklist and Problem Solving Tool that will help you discover and identify the most common challenges you may face — or are facing — in your journey to cultivate more racial equity in your organization along with problem-solving ideas for how to navigate them and stay on track

Testimonials

"I had the pleasure of seeing Kenston speak at the SHRM Inclusion conference, and he is just someone who has a way of commanding a room with his positive energy and sense of humor while still getting the important messages across. This work in the DEI space is not easy, and Kenston really pushes people to lean in and just do more with where they are right now in their DEI journey."

— C.C.
DIRECTOR OF GLOBAL DIVERSITY INCLUSION & BELONGING, KNOWBE4
"Some of today's issues for HR leaders can be hard to tackle including how to have open and honest dialogue around race; how companies can support team members; creating safe spaces for dialogue; and ensuring company practices and policies are inclusive and supportive. Kenston's approach provides honest and practical answers for HR leaders. His high energy and passion creates a safe space for all participants to ask questions and get practical advice."
— N.M.D.
VICE PRESIDENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES, ADVOCATE
"At the HR Florida Conference in August 2021, I had the honor of hearing Kenston speak courageously about race in the workplace. Kenston's message resonated and was universal — we cannot avoid talking about topics of such importance anymore and need to create safe environments in our workplaces to foster such discussions. Whether race, LGBTQ+, gender, or other topics we have long thought too sensitive to discuss, Kenston's collaborative approach to bringing these issues to light is engaging, serious, and even fun. His innate ability to connect with everyone in his audience is authentic and further adds to the meaningful nature of his approach. I am hopeful I get to learn more from Kenston as I continue my own journey to speak courageously."

— A. R
MBA, PHR, SHRM-CPA - MBA, PHR, SHRM-CP
"I had the honor and privilege of hearing Kenston present on “Winning Conversations: How to Communicate Successfully and Courageously About Race” at the HR Florida Conference. Not only was this topic “right on time” with our current climate, but Kenton’s delivery was raw, uncut and real! In my opinion, this conversation has been long overdue. Kenston created a safe place, allowing for vulnerability. I have attended many sessions on this very topic over the past year and half, but none as dynamic and real as this. Kenston, THANK YOU for bringing your true, authentic self to this conversation. I’m looking forward to continuing the conversations I have started within my professional/personal networks and taking them to a whole new level of vulnerability and continuous fight for awareness."
— J. H,
MBA-HRD, PHR, SHRM-CP
"During SHRM INCLUSION 2021 I had the privilege of listening to Kenston's talk "Winning Conversations: Keys to Becoming a Successful and Courageous Advocate and Ally." I'm striving to be an advocate and ally not just in the workplace, but in my everyday life and interactions. Kenston's knowledge and passion about this topic left me feeling motivated and inspired."




— M.H..
SR. HR LAW LEADER, NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
"I had the pleasure of attending an amazing and insightful session led by Kenston at SHRM Atlanta Symposium Virtual Conference titled Winning Conversations: How to Communicate Successfully and Courageously about Race. Kenston taught us five practical ways that we can implement personally and professionally along with his proprietary R.E.M method. Kenston's passion and enthusiasm left us all wanting more and most importantly we walked away feeling equipped and empowered to have winning conversations."

In this module, you’ll be guided by the following tools:

  • Hiring Practices Tool — The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly that provides examples of good and bad hiring practices, points out discrimination in job description and hiring practices, and includes templates for how to write a job description, assemble a committee, and go through the application process in a racially equitable way so that you can improve your own hiring practices and create a more inclusive hiring culture
  • Interview Questions that Will Reduce and Limit Bias that will provide you with effective and inclusive questions to ask during your interviews with candidates
  • Bias Scavenger Hunt: Taking Inventory on Your Documents + Tips to Improve Them will help you look at your job descriptions and see if you can spot any negative bias within them. If you do, you’ll be guided to take the necessary steps to be comfortable, curious, and be the game-changer to make it right.

Module five

Creating a Workplace of Excellence and a Culture of Belonging

In Module Five, we’ll discuss how to create a culture where belonging and inclusion are obvious. We’ll discuss opportunities for access, inclusion, and belonging such as mentorship, peer-to-peer partnerships, succession planning, and exploratory programs for employees to try out new roles. You’ll learn nine solid examples of access opportunities that are happening in highly inclusive organizations today. You can consider introducing them into your own so that you can begin to better support your employees and more clearly promote racial equity, inclusion, and belonging in your workplace.

In this module, you’ll be guided by the following tools:

  • Creating a Culture of Belonging Checklist that outlines examples and ideas of ways to provide access, inclusion, and racial equity through new programming for your employees
  • Racial Equity at Work Resources Guide: Have you ever wanted a comprehensive resource guide but didn’t know where to start? The Racial Equity at Work Resources Guide was designed to help you create and cultivate racial equity in your workplace. This resource packet includes the following: Mapping Your Journey to Cultural Transformation and Racial Equity in the Workplace; Tips for Discussing Racial Injustice in the Workplace (includes sample winning conversation scenarios using the R.E.M. Framework to put words into action); Tools for Recruitment and Interviewing Process; and the Comprehensive Game-Changer Resource Tool Box (includes links to articles, video, highly recommended book references, etc.).

Module six

We’ll explore the most common challenges that pop up in your journey, as well as discuss examples, scenarios, and ways to navigate the challenges so that you can stay on track and keep making progress.

  • Challenges Checklist and Problem Solving Tool that will help you discover and identify the most common challenges you may face — or are facing — in your journey to cultivate more racial equity in your organization along with problem-solving ideas for how to navigate them and stay on track

Module SEVEN

The Power of Ongoing Commitment

In our final module, we’ll discuss the importance of adopting a long-term approach and mindset to changing your company’s culture.

You’ll also see examples of great goals to make for each of the various stages.

In this module, you’ll be guided by the following tool:

Testimonials

"I had the pleasure of seeing Kenston speak at the SHRM Inclusion conference, and he is just someone who has a way of commanding a room with his positive energy and sense of humor while still getting the important messages across. This work in the DEI space is not easy, and Kenston really pushes people to lean in and just do more with where they are right now in their DEI journey."

DIRECTOR OF GLOBAL DIVERSITY INCLUSION & BELONGING, KNOWBE4
"Some of today's issues for HR leaders can be hard to tackle including how to have open and honest dialogue around race; how companies can support team members; creating safe spaces for dialogue; and ensuring company practices and policies are inclusive and supportive. Kenston's approach provides honest and practical answers for HR leaders. His high energy and passion creates a safe space for all participants to ask questions and get practical advice."
— N.M.D.
VICE PRESIDENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES, ADVOCATE
"At the HR Florida Conference in August 2021, I had the honor of hearing Kenston speak courageously about race in the workplace. Kenston's message resonated and was universal — we cannot avoid talking about topics of such importance anymore and need to create safe environments in our workplaces to foster such discussions. Whether race, LGBTQ+, gender, or other topics we have long thought too sensitive to discuss, Kenston's collaborative approach to bringing these issues to light is engaging, serious, and even fun. His innate ability to connect with everyone in his audience is authentic and further adds to the meaningful nature of his approach. I am hopeful I get to learn more from Kenston as I continue my own journey to speak courageously."

"I had the honor and privilege of hearing Kenston present on “Winning Conversations: How to Communicate Successfully and Courageously About Race” at the HR Florida Conference. Not only was this topic “right on time” with our current climate, but Kenton’s delivery was raw, uncut and real! In my opinion, this conversation has been long overdue. Kenston created a safe place, allowing for vulnerability. I have attended many sessions on this very topic over the past year and half, but none as dynamic and real as this. Kenston, THANK YOU for bringing your true, authentic self to this conversation. I’m looking forward to continuing the conversations I have started within my professional/personal networks and taking them to a whole new level of vulnerability and continuous fight for awareness."

"During SHRM INCLUSION 2021 I had the privilege of listening to Kenston's talk "Winning Conversations: Keys to Becoming a Successful and Courageous Advocate and Ally." I'm striving to be an advocate and ally not just in the workplace, but in my everyday life and interactions. Kenston's knowledge and passion about this topic left me feeling motivated and inspired."

"I had the pleasure of attending an amazing and insightful session led by Kenston at SHRM Atlanta Symposium Virtual Conference titled Winning Conversations: How to Communicate Successfully and Courageously about Race. Kenston taught us five practical ways that we can implement personally and professionally along with his proprietary R.E.M method. Kenston's passion and enthusiasm left us all wanting more and most importantly we walked away feeling equipped and empowered to have winning conversations."
