Let’s face it. Most corporate events are boring. They fail to really inspire people or generate new ideas.
Every now and then a speaker can lift an entire event by giving it new life and perspective. Kali is that speaker.
Kali does this through a portfolio of topics that are both highly interesting and tap into important cultural and social trends.
Your see it in your Facebook feed every day. Startups and big companies alike struggling with perceptions of sexism, lack of diversity, bro cultures, cultural and social insensitivity, and downright douche headedness. Most workplaces suffers from poor communication, corporate psychopaths and abusive behavior. These problems impact their brands, culture and their bottom lines.
Kali doesn’t believe in bland or generic. Her talks are not another set of boring canned corporate speak and buzzword bingo. She’s going to get your audience jumping, challenge them and help them to see things from a new perspective.

A Williams presentation has three key elements: Interestingness, the collision of domains, and communications/empowerment.
Interestingness
It has to be interesting to have an impact. Kali’s energy and passion, her stories from the dungeons and cages of human psychology, and her deeply interesting perspective will wake up an audience like the crack of a whip.
The collision of domains
Ideas are generated and problems are solved by bringing together people and ideas from different domains and backgrounds. Sometimes you just have to rope folks together.
Communications and empowerment
Clear communications, consent, gender dynamics and personal empowerment are at the core of Kali’s message.

Shattering Gender Stereotypes: Ditch the Bitch Stigma and the Macho Mindset
We’ve all noticed how women are judged for speaking up and how quickly they’re labeled a bitch, just like we’ve all noticed the ways men are expected to conform to a certain kind of masculinity.
The Bitch Stigma and the Macho Mindset are two sides of the same coin, and both limit the ways men and women are treated and expected to behave. This is not about man-bashing! We’ll be talking about how gendered stereotypes affect our interactions and our work, both consciously and unconsciously.
The Battle of the Sexes is outdated and it’s time for it to go! Gender roles and bias have become hot topics in the last few years, as companies look to prioritize diversity and create a more welcoming environment for everyone.
Get ready for some surprising insights and thought-provoking questions about the hidden ways sexism impacts our lives. Using pop culture references, dynamic storytelling, and unconventional problem-solving methods, Kali will share her unique perspective intended to get your wheels turning.
Bossy or Bro? How not to be a douche in the digital age
problems for individuals and organizations alike. Never has this been more true than in a digital age. Messages are amplified and go viral through the social ether faster than you can say Like. Gendered obnoxiousness — what we really mean when we use Bossy for women and Bros for men — can spread out of control like wildfire.
Words are powerful. Tone matters. Bad communication feeds bad company culture. Bad culture stops organizations performing at their best or attracting the best talent, and damages their brands in the marketplace. Just ask TechCrunch, SendGrid, Pycon, Klout and many more. Markets are diverse. For product teams to create things people want, they need to be diverse too.
