TRACY BROWN
Your Voice and Guide for Inclusion
Helping leaders demonstrate their commitment to inclusion is a priority for Tracy Brown. Her passion is helping individuals take responsibility for building effective cross-cultural relationships that can help them achieve their personal and professional goals. And her talent is transforming conversations about diversity from a debate about politics and personalities into a dialogue about relationships and results.
Tracy’s core message is that diversity is an always present resource that can be used in a positive way to achieve the mission of the organization if you intentionally build an inclusive culture. But to build that culture, it is important to ensure people develop the skills required to build connections, navigate conflict, create outstanding customer service and develop community relationships.
Tracy is a certified administrator for the The Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®) which is the premier cross-cultural assessment of intercultural competence. She is an excellent coach for leaders navigating cross-cultural relationships and building multicultural teams; and a skilled provider of interventions that transform unconscious bias into effective partnerships between individuals and groups. She is also certified to administer the Intercultural Conflict Styles Inventory® (ICS®) and to incorporate the inventory results into individual or group engagements.
Tracy has been featured in HR Magazine, Texas Monthly, Fox Radio Network, Dallas CEO, iHeart Radio Network, Money Magazine and many other publications or broadcasts. Her books include “71 Ways to Inspire Commitment to Diversity.” And her TEDx talk, “What is Mine to Do,” was followed up with a book with the same title, and an active Facebook group where more than 7,000 members focus on what committed individuals can do to interrupt or eliminate race-based hatred and violence.
In addition to her business experience, Tracy has served as a board or advisory council member for more than a dozen professional associations or nonprofit organizations. She co-founded Dallas Dinner Table (Healing Race Relations One Dinner at a Time) and co-designed The Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership curriculum sponsored by Southern Methodist University and The Center for Nonprofit Management. Tracy recently completed serving 3 consecutive years as the Chair of the governing body for Centers for Spiritual Living worldwide. She currently serves on the boards of two organizations: The Science of Mind Foundation and Camp Cedar Ridge in Vernonia, Oregon.
