Speaking
Annemarie Shrouder is an International Speaker and an International Bestselling Author.
While Diversity & Inclusion are serious topics, Annemarie’s presentations are interactive, engaging, inspiring, and fun.
Audiences leave having gained valuable insights into themselves, and how they can participate in creating spaces where people feel a sense of belonging.
Whether online or in-person, Annemarie’s goal in every presentation is for participants to leave noticing more, and paying more attention to the world around them than when they arrived.
“Having attended numerous corporate inclusion events over the years, I’ve often found them well-intentioned but lacking in truly raising the bar. Being able to expand inclusion without alienating those already considered included requires wisdom and grace. Annemarie goes beyond educating on definitions, statistics and next steps. Her human-to-human conversations naturally transform understanding. And for the first time, as a white, heterosexual, non-disabled female who already considers herself an ally, did I not feel any guilt, debt, or shame simply for being on the ‘bad’ side of the topic.”
– Susanne Birnstiel, LGBTQI+ Inclusion Presentation participant

– Teresa de Grosbois, Founder, Evolutionary Business Council
“Annemarie Shrouder accepted our invitation to present at the Ontario Midwifery Student Conference in September 2016. Her contribution to the conference was profound, thought provoking and organized. There were over 100 people present and Annemarie was able to provide a cohesive framework to address personal bias that generated conversation amongst this large group. Very impressive! Annemarie found a way to inspire individuals to look critically at bias and how it affects every social interaction, an integral and necessary skill to provide safe and competent health care.”
