An Overview of Dima's Keynotes:

Dare to Thrive: 

Inspired by her TEDx Talk, Dima uses her personal story of transformation as a powerful teaching tool to encourage women to face and conquer their internal limitations. This keynote recounts the struggles and triumphs of her personal journey with vulnerability and insight that will resonate with each audience member and spark a guiding light for their individual journey of self-discovery and leadership growth. By addressing internal limitations, such as the fear of failure, worries about being judged, and the pursuit of perfection, Dima dares each individual to look deeper into their own internal limitations and equips them with the tools and inspiration it takes to shatter those limitations and emerge as empowered leaders.  

Elevating Employee Engagement: In this workshop, Dima helps participants discover the pivotal role of employee engagement and provides powerful methods for promoting employees’ purpose, ownership, and self-leadership. The content places an emphasis on fostering a happy and lucrative work environment for employees, connecting them with their strengths and career aspirations. Dima teaches the participants methods for creating a more positive company culture that results in lower employee turnover, improved quality of work, improved overall morale, and a positive influence on the company’s bottom line. 

How to Future-Proof Your Company: Engaging Gen Y to Z ™: 

In this keynote, Dima shares lessons derived from her experience globally training, developing, and engaging over 500 millennials for Fortune 100 companies. She explores the keys to unlocking the millennial mind in order to better engage them in the workplace, give them the purpose they crave in their work, and inspire them to overachieve. Dima guides the audience members through a shift in perception that is essential in order to prepare companies for Gen Z.

By bridging the disconnect between generations, companies will be able to harness the creative and innovative talents of their employees while keeping them dedicated to the company’s mission.

Elevate Your Professional Brand: 

Brands have the power to influence people’s perception, and by understanding your personal and company’s brands, you have the power to strengthen the perception of your uniqueness and value.

In this presentation, through humorous stories, provoking messages, and engaging activates, Dima shares with her audience three elements of professional branding by looking:

·       Inward: understanding the strengths that you have to offer

·       Outward: projecting a positive external and online presence

·       Onward: using your internal and external brand to reach your goals

These elements inspire the audience to become intentional in projecting a professional image and owning their unique brands, which will propel them forward towards their goals and empowers them to expand their potential.

Diversity and Inclusion: Worth More Than Gold: 

There is compelling research that diversity increases the competitive advantage of companies, enhances creativity, and elevates employee engagement. Despite this, there is still resistance to workplace diversity.

Through engaging personal narratives, Dima shares the many different types of diversity beyond race and gender, and covers its proven benefits. She provides the audience with tools to enable them to increase diversity in their teams and focus on attracting, engaging, and retaining diverse talent. The audience gains new understanding of managing resistance, tracking progress, and creating a climate that celebrates diversity in their company.
