This page highlights the talks, keynotes, and panels Katie J. Adriano offers as an individual speaker, grounded in relational inclusion and lived experience.
While KJA Gaiety Solutions serves organizations systemically, this space reflects how Katie shows up in the room: as a storyteller, facilitator, and advocate.
Brave space, not big stage.
Katie brings presence, clarity, and relational depth to every room, whether it’s a keynote, a roundtable, or an intimate leadership session.
Speaking, for Katie, is not about spotlight.
It’s about reflection, resonance, and shared language that makes inclusion real.
Core Principles:
A keynote on belonging, relational leadership, and making space for difference.
This talk invites participants to move beyond awareness into shared practice, grounded in stories, shaped by reflection, and co-created in the room.
"This event helped me become more aware of diversity and what it looks like. It changed my mindset and helped me try to put things into action.”
"Diversity has so many different aspects. We need to be constantly aware or check how we are embracing diversity. A lot of things that we consider as norms in our society do not promote diversity. The speaker helped me start thinking about these norms.”
“We are blessed to have Katie share her expertise on DEIB. She allowed for exploration of our own thinking about DEI and made the concept less intimidating. Her stories and open disposition allowed us to freely share our ideas and feelings about the topic. Hoping for more sessions in the future.”
Katie’s talks don’t just inform. They hold space.
For reflection. For clarity. For deeper practice.
If you’re looking for a speaker who leads with presence, not performance, let’s talk.
