Buki Mosaku is one of the foremost Workplace Bias Navigation Experts, a leading international business consultant and an executive coach, on a mission to help organisations build more inclusive cultures and drive productivity. Widely known as the founder of DiverseCity Think Tank, Buki is now booked as a speaker for a range of events to share his expertise on diversity and inclusion, covering topics such as Navigating Workplace Bias, Navigating Gender Bias, Bias Navigation for Leaders and Exponential Growth for Diverse teams. Buki is guaranteed to have an impact on audiences of all shapes and sizes.
A leading diversity and inclusion consultant, Buki shares his expertise on workplace bias navigation when booked as a speaker. Back in the 2000s, Buki founded RosAcad, the Results Oriented Sales Academy, a thriving international corporate development and sales training consultancy. Buki has personally trained over 50,000 individuals and worked with some of the most successful companies across the globe helping them to drive productivity and effectiveness, pursue sales targets and achieve them. In 2019, Buki founded DiverseCity Think Tank-Bias Navigation Experts and DE&I Consultants. Continuing his work with the think tank today, Buki addresses the ongoing problem of unconscious workplace bias.
During his time as a D&I consultant, Buki has come to reject the popular theories and solutions for tackling workplace biases such as racial, gender, sexuality and disability bias, as in his opinion they do more to hinder those affected by such factors than help. Frustrated by this, Buki developed the groundbreaking IDU? Methodology that aims to address the career-stifling impact of workplace bias on minorities and marginalised groups and the negative effect on team cohesiveness and group-wide productivity. He has developed a fair and results-orientated method to navigate the multidirectional nature of workplace bias. Buki recently released the groundbreaking new book: 'I Don’t Understand'- Navigating Unconscious Bias in the Workplace. Cracking the code for calling out unconscious workplace bias to stop it in its tracks and dispassionately recondition perpetrators in the process, Buki helps to eliminate a stifling and conflicted workplace.
As a leading international business consultant, Buki is also booked as a speaker for a range of corporate events. With previous clients including the likes of JP Morgan, Aon, Kantar, United Nations, Sky TV, Royal Sun & Alliance, Salesforce, Worley and BNY Mellon Newton, Buki is renowned to some of the world’s biggest and most successful organisations. Empowering leaders and staff to navigate unconscious workplace bias, Buki rejects the ‘Guilty Perpetrator v Hapless Victim Model’ embraced by most corporates and helps leaders create cohesive teams through navigating the inevitability of workplace bias. Audiences learn: What to Do, How to Think, What to Say, When to Say it and the Way to Say it, to put career stifling and conflict-generating workplace bias behind them. Book Buki Mosaku today for an informed, motivational and transformational speech on navigating workplace bias, building more inclusive cultures and diversity and inclusion.
