Dydine Umunyana Anderson mid-keynote, speaking to an audience about rebuilding after loss.

Dydine Umunyana Anderson speaks to audiences around the world about forgiveness, identity, belonging and the courage to rebuild after loss. A room sees what a person can survive and still become, and people go home kinder than they arrived.

Speaking Topics

What Grows Back

Rebuilding after loss, and what it asks of the people who lead others through it. Audiences leave with a way to talk about hard seasons out loud, and a sharper sense of what recovery requires of leadership.

For leadership summits, corporate and association conferences, employee and ERG programs, orientation and convocation.

The Room Where We Listen

How telling the truth about ourselves builds teams and communities that hold. Audiences leave able to name what belonging actually requires, and with a practice they can run in their own rooms.

For universities and colleges, culture and belonging programs, museums and civic institutions, education conferences.

Taking Your Peace Back

Forgiveness as a discipline rather than a mood, and what it frees a person to do next. Audiences leave with a clear distinction between forgiving and forgetting, and with permission to put something down.

For women’s leadership conferences, healthcare and caregiving, faith communities, conflict resolution and law enforcement training.

Formats

45 to 60 minute keynote. Keynote with a moderated conversation. Keynote with a workshop in a following session. A custom program built with your team.

Fees

Fees vary by format, audience size and travel. Schools and nonprofits are quoted differently from corporate and association events. Tell us which you are and you will get a real number, not a range. Her team handles scheduling, contracts and travel.

“Dydine’s talk left our entire audience in tears, and then in action.”
