• Diversifying Work Spaces & Work Forces

  Did you know that a Mexican janitor at Frito Lay came up with the idea for Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, which became their top-selling product? It was possible because he heard the president of the company tell the employees to act like owners. So he did. Daymond John tells his versions of these kinds of stories for two reasons: first because it demonstrates that great ideas can come from anywhere, and second, to compel business leaders to create favorable conditions for their teams to thrive. As the Co-Founder & CEO of FUBU, Daymond led a diverse workforce to the $6 billion global behemoth that it became. In 2017, Daymond drew on that experience to help inform a state of the art, open concept workspace called Blueprint + Co. As Daymond tells audiences, 21st century workplaces thrive on open communication, inclusivity, diversity of thought and a physical floor plan to support those ideals. Daymond argues that businesses who surround themselves with like-minded voices and siloed workspaces lack the ability to approach challenges from different angles, limiting their potential to grow. In this uniquely developed speech, Daymond provides audiences with practical takeaways and advice for embracing diversity beyond the traditional meaning, to help bolster your bottom line.

He motivates, inspires, and instructs them on how to set their own goals and go after them with renewed focus, zeal, and determination.
