Speaker | Consultant | Collaborator
Patricia Jesperson is a consultant and frequent
speaker on the subjects of Inclusive Leadership,
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and Total Rewards—
specifically how they impact the ability for organizations to
create an Employee Experience that attracts, retains and
engages key talent in light of today’s increasingly diverse
workforce.
From boutique events, filled conference halls or virtual
sessions, Tricia brings a well-versed voice to the importance
of integrating all aspects of the people-side of business.
Specifically, she engages with innovative and growth-
oriented organizations to 1) help them work across
organizational silos, embrace the tenets of diversity and
inclusion to develop their people and culture, and 2)
identify gaps that may suppress ROI from their people and
culture investments.

The Inclusion Matrix™ — The five skills of
Inclusive leadership
• Engages critical leadership skills to enhance
awareness of self, as well as the impact of
personal growth in career development and
creating inclusive cultures.
• Education includes: defining culture, framing
the “why” for organizations engaged in
inclusive culture change efforts, illustrating the
progression of organizational change,
understanding the origins and accelerators of
bias, and engaging participants in individual skill
building work.
Reversing the Ostrich Approach
to Diversity: Pulling your head
out of the sand
How the OstrichWheel Works:
Assess yourself on the five (5)
simple concepts. How effective
would you say you are today in
applying a given concept in your
life? Then set your goals: how
effective do you want to be?
What impact would that have on
your success?

5. Virtual
Sessions Facilitators and team did a great job
engaging in the conversation and providing
relevant/new examples to approach and
frame the discussions we are and will need to
continue having! thank you
Great topic and excellent speaker!
Nice to balance D&I topics with
other leadership and technical
topics.
It was great to hear from each of
you, Patricia (Tricia) Jesperson,
MBA, Pam Lampert & Carita
Hibben. Voices of reason and
enlightenment in the most
disconcerting period we have
lived through.

6. Leading
Edge We closed out the year cohosting the Twin Cities
Diversity and Inclusion Roundtable (TCDIR) year-end
member meeting.
At the meeting we introduced participants to Virtual
Reality and DEI Education—an immersive experience
that transforms education from storytelling to
storyliving.
While VR is cool and current, it cannot be the “it” in
the DEI education experience, which is why we also
introduced DIVE 5 a supportive educational platform
that we can facilitate, train-the-trainer or license to
clients.

7. Patricia M. Jesperson, MBA
Patricia Jesperson is Chief Curiosity Officer, EmployeeEXP, and co-Author of newly re-released, Reversing the Ostrich Approach to
Diversity: Pulling your head out of the sand. As well, a recent article in TLNT, Human-Centered HR in Today’s Business
Environment illustrates her philosophy on outcomes-based HR integration. With more than 25 years working on the people-side
of the business, she specializes in working with employers to create better Employee Experience outcomes.
As the curious type, she has spent the majority of her career exploring how to maximize the talent experience with an emphasis
on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) and Total Rewards. This drive for exploring “what if’s” enables her deliver custom content
as well as EmployeeEXP proprietary models to help her clients attract, retain, develop and engage talent. Examples include: The
EmployeeEXP 8 x 9 Box Communication AnalysisTM, a re-imagined/re-purposed 9-Box that invites organizations to explore their
approach to communicating key programs to increasingly diverse talent. It asks the question, “How confident are you that what
you spend on Employee Experience is aligned efficiently to attract, retain, and engage today’s diverse talent?” She also
introduced The Inclusion MatrixTM (IM) in 2019—elevates the conversation from traditional DEI training to creating inclusive and
engaged leaders.
Believing that one must continue to learn to keep current, she seizes opportunities to always-be-learning through teaching at
Augsburg University as a professor in the MBA and adult-education programs and her Board
experience e.g. Human Resource Executive Forum Board, Augsburg University Alumni Board, Chair
of the Workforce Development and Education Policy Committee for the MN Chamber, and Director
of Diversity Inclusion for SHRM MN State Council.
