CLIENT SPOTLIGHT: SPORTS REFeRENCE


A fast-growing tech company attracts talent through dEI

Operating at the intersection of sports and tech, the Sports Reference team was 100% male and 100% white for years.

But as they prepared for a period of rapid growth, leaders within the organization wanted systems and structures in place to ensure they were attracting diverse talent and driving retention by building an inclusive culture where everyone felt a sense of belonging.

Sports Reference enlisted Bossed Up to design and deliver a custom DEI training program that integrated their company’s core values and took a systematic approach to meaningfully move the needle on DEI objectives.

She has the total package — a great writer and thinker, a compelling speaker (both in person and on camera), and beyond that, she's just a nice person. Her energetic attitude is infectious and she always brings her real, authentic self to whatever she's doing. I can, without hesitation, highly recommend Emilie for any teaching or speaking event. She brings impact.

Emilie spoke to over 400 women at Google in San Francisco and did an amazing job of articulating the importance of speaking assertively at work. The feedback from attendees was outstanding! I highly recommend Emilie to all women in tech and engineering, who can have a tough time finding their voice.

— Mahak Sharma, Google SF

Not only does Emilie have a world of knowledge, but she does so in one of the most fun, engaging ways I've seen! Everything Emilie suggests is evidence-based and she gives concrete examples for how to implement new tactics into everyday life. I've rarely seen other speakers achieve this balance of expertise and relatability. Emilie is the real deal.

Emilie is a BOSS! What an inspiration she was to our colleagues! She beams with encouragement and wisdom for all ages and levels.
