A trusted tool for starting DEI discussions

John Healy is a workforce strategy and solutions expert who has spent his career connecting people with work and connecting enterprises to the talent needed to execute their business strategy. For the past 20 years, John has been engaged by executives across the globe to help define, build, and execute their business strategy by redefining the ways that they engage talent.

Through this work, John has recognized that as organizations embrace a more deliberate focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, the ability to engage their workforce requires new skills. That’s because in any professional setting involving teams, combining individual differences in communication style with the pressure of deadlines and performance expectations is a recipe for miscommunication – and ultimately, underperforming teams. Often, miscommunication
occurs not from what is actually said, but as the result of the use and interpretation of non-verbal cues. And while there are many tools and assessments
designed to address communication available, they are only focused on verbal communication and don’t address the non-verbal aspects of communication.

Intrivity solves this problem.

An excellent tool for individuals to gain a deep understanding of their own communication style, it focuses on the use and interpretation of non-verbal cues. It develops self-awareness and gives people tools to identify and interpret other communication styles they encounter every day. What’s more, Intrivity offers a gentle way to begin DEI discussions by creating self-awareness about one’s communication style and how it may differ from others, rather than by launching straight into very difficult discussions of race, gender, or unconscious biases without having the tools to communicate effectively.
