KEYNOTES & WORKSHOPS

We spend our careers learning how to succeed at work, but rarely stop to ask what we need to unlearn.

The beliefs we inherited. The assumptions we carry. The voices we have internalized that tell us to stay quiet, play small, or wait until we feel “ready.”

And when people hold back, organizations feel it too. Less innovation. Less connection. Lower engagement. Missed leadership potential.

Diverse perspectives matter. But simply bringing different people into the room is not enough. People need:

The confidence to use their voice,
The freedom to challenge what they have been taught
Te skills to navigate differences in a way that creates connection.

That is the work I do.

Through my keynotes and workshops, I help people unlearn what no longer serves them, build confidence, embrace the perspectives that make them different, and show up more fully at work.

Because when people stop holding back, they do not just change their own trajectory. They change what is possible for everyone around them.

KEYNOTES & WORKSHOPS

I don’t just want people to leave feeling inspired.

Through keynotes and workshops that combine storytelling, personal reflection, and practical tools, I help people move from self-doubt to self-trust, from holding back to owning their voice, and from inherited beliefs to intentional action.

I want them to leave with a new perspective on what is possible for them, greater clarity around what has been holding them back, and the confidence to show up more fully in their work and their lives.

The result is greater confidence, stronger connection, more meaningful leadership, and the freedom to contribute in a way that feels authentic to who they are.

That’s what it looks like to unlearn what no longer serves you. And that’s the work I’m here to help you do.

TESTIMONIALS

Results I have helped create

We recently had the privilege of Ingrid Harb hosting one of our Hispanic Heritage Month events for our Latin ERG here at Colliers, and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. her words were not just powerful, but deeply insightful and inspiring, offering a rich tapestry of wisdom that resonated with everyone on the call.

Through her presentation, she highlighted the strength, resilience, and invaluable contributions of the Latino community in the U.S. with such eloquence and clarity. Each message was not only educational but also emotionally uplifting, reminding us of our rich heritage and the importance of embracing our identity.

Ingrid’s ability to weave history, culture, and contemporary challenges into a compelling narrative was truly masterful. She didn’t just speak to us; she empowered us to reflect on our past, celebrate our present, and envision a future where our community continues to thrive. Ingrid’s voice is a beacon for the Latino community, and her presentation will surely leave a lasting impact on all who were fortunate enough to hear it.

I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and we would love to have her speak again at one of our future ERG calls.

Ingrid has been an instrumental part in helping develop our employee resource group (ERG) strategy. Her adaptable partnership and insightful thought leadership have quickly cemented her as a pivotal player in identifying and actioning on growth opportunities for ERG leadership. A key example was her masterful facilitation during our inaugural Belonging Summit—a three-day leader development and strategy conference for ERG leads. She not only developed innovative solutions to tackling high-level problems, but her ability to navigate difficult conversations and draw out the best ideas from people really shone bright. Employees left the summit having experienced their best conference yet and a nice departure from the “act now, think later” approach of so many others.

Ingrid so graciously presented at my company’s Women Who Lead employee resource group (ERG) at my request – and the group of women on the call were so impressed. We started unconventionally, with meditation and visualization, and the impact was felt immediately! We were able to dig deep inside ourselves and create a safe space for everyone to share their feelings and thoughts. The feedback from the session was: “I learned so much about myself,” and “I feel so refreshed!” Sometimes we need to slow down and be curious and realize these moments and the community we create from them are what make the biggest impact on ourselves and our society. Ingrid helped us do that!

Had the opportunity to work with Ingrid on a virtual Town hall that focused on cultural diversity in the workplace. It was such a pleasure to work with an individual who had the experience and knowledge on topic that is encompassing of many intricate things. Ingrid brings such a high level of professionalism, candor and possesses the ability to connect with people. Looking forward to work with her again.

Ingrid’s passion is infectious and her spirit indomitable. Nielsen’s Women Business Resource Group, Women in Nielsen (WIN), first began working with Ingrid in early 2021. Many of our representatives attended her galvanizing event, the Women’s Ambassador Forum in Spring of 2021. This forum served as a model and inspiration for our own leadership summit, which we held in September 2021. The WIN BRG and Nielsen have continued to work with Ingrid, supporting such initiatives as “Coding for a Change”, not only because we believe in Ingrid’s mission but because she is an inspiration to each and every one of us. She brings light to every project and hope to every story.

ABOUT

I’m Ingrid Harb.

I grew up between cultures, learning early what it means to live between worlds, navigate identity, and question where you belong. Those experiences shaped the work I do today and my belief that so much of how we show up at work is influenced by what we have been taught to believe about ourselves and others.

At 19, I founded the Women Ambassadors Forum, a global movement that grew to reach women in more than 150 countries and raised over $500,000 to bring these forums to life. I later partnered with the University of South Florida to create a Certificate in Cross-Cultural Leadership, a program that has reached more than 20,000 graduates worldwide.

I went on to found NOTA Inclusion, a speakers bureau dedicated to elevating diverse voices and connecting organizations with speakers who challenge perspectives, spark meaningful conversations, and create lasting impact. Through this work, I have partnered with more than 100 Fortune 500 companies and helped organizations explore identity, belonging, leadership, culture, and personal growth.

Today, I speak about what happens when we stop letting inherited beliefs define what is possible for us. Through keynotes and workshops, I help people unlearn what no longer serves them, build the confidence to use their voice, embrace the perspectives that make them different, and show up more fully at work and in life.
