Building Bridges

After publishing his first book, Millennials Revealed, which focuses on helping organizations understand how to effectively build bridges across the generations, Tru quickly realized that the generation gaps were not the only gaps that were hindering the health, growth, and development of organizations and their people. 


Tru then dedicated himself to helping organizations build bridges across the divides that challenge them most, and has quickly emerged as one of the nations most dynamic public speakers, and the go-to expert on helping organizations understand how to build bridges across racial, generational, cultural, and relational divides. 


Whether as a keynote speaker or a workshop leader, Tru is the ultimate bridge builder. His areas of expertise are Leadership, Inclusion, and Purpose.  

Keynotes & Workshops

Leading With Purpose

When purpose is not present, dysfunction is ineveitble; thus people are not only seeking purpose in their personal lives, but in their professional lives as well. Employees, students, congregants, and consumers are all seeking to align themselves with organizations that “Lead With Purpose” while embracing the richness of diversity and inclusion that's available to them.  Purpose-driven organizations are among the most sought after in today's marketplace. Learn how to "Lead With Purpose" and become one of the organizations that your audiences all aspire to align themselves with. 

Leading Across Generations

Millennials and Centennials have ushered in a New Era, with New Expressions, and New Expectations. To thrive in this new era, organizations must adopt and employ a cross-generational leadership approach that employs both Diversity AND Inclusion! This session helps attendees understand how to be more effective 21st century leaders by leveraging the power of insight, influence, and inclusion. Attendees walk away with a proven cross-generational leadership model that can be applied right away!  

Beyond Diversity

What organizations and institutions across the country are quickly realizing, is that diversity (a state-of-being) cannot be the end goal. Instead, the act of developing safe, open, and inclusive environments for all to collaborate and co-exist is the greatest need and challenge.  This session equips organizations to go beyond diversity and the often created “illusion of inclusion”. Attendees of this session understand how to effectively activate the richness of diversity through the power of inclusion.
