INVITE TO SPEAK

Biography

Wendy Gates Corbett, CPTD, is an adjunct professor of leadership at Duke University's graduate engineering programs, author, belonging researcher, and keynote speaker. Her work has reached more than 175,000 people worldwide. Her bestselling book, The Energy of Belonging: 75 Ideas to Spark Workplace Community, is based on her research and was published in January 2024.

Passion

The passion she has for belonging is fueled by her story as a biracial adopted child. Seeing people discover the power they have to change their organization's or team's culture with simple behaviors warms my heart!
