Simran Jeet Singh Speaking Topics
We all say that we choose love over hate. But when tested, we realize that it’s easier said than done and that our empathy for others is not rooted deeply enough. As a turbaned and bearded Sikh man, Simran has been subjected to racism his whole life. He has been working on the frontlines of hate violence for more than a decade. And yet, he has managed to avoid falling into the toxic trap of hate and anger. In this session, he will draw from his personal experiences and from hate incidents he has witnessed firsthand to share the wisdom he has gained on what it really takes to choose love over hate.
We know that healthy culture and workplaces have strong social cohesion. We’ve spent the past few years understanding the importance of showing up as our full selves and encouraging others to do the same. And yet, as the world has become increasingly divided, and as so many of our relationships have disintegrated, it’s become more and more difficult to figure out how to show up as with allyship and solidarity. Our current way of seeing ourselves and one another are built on western philosophy that served us well for centuries but are now outmoded. It’s clear that our relationships are too thin to withstand difficulty. In this session, Dr. Simran Jeet Singh will draw on personal stories, daily practices, and even diverse cultural models to offer a different approach—one that is more intuitive, nourishing, and sustainable for deepening connections and building stronger, healthier cultures.
Resilience and empathy have become cultural buzzwords. Everyone talks about how crucial they are — yet, too often, we don’t know why these qualities matter or how we can cultivate them. In this session, learn from Dr. Simran Jeet Singh, who has written extensively about how these two qualities can improve our lives. He’ll discuss the biases embedded in our perceptions of resilience and how we overcome them. He’ll also share personal stories and daily practices that we can incorporate to help grow our empathy.
It has never been clearer that, as a society, we are failing to prioritize integrity and values-based living. And it has never felt more urgent to begin instilling these values for ourselves, for one another, and for our children. In this session, Simran guides participants to creating a values-based vision for themselves and offers tips on how to cultivate these values so that they transform from idealized aspirations to deeply embedded aspects of our character.
We hear a lot these days that representation matters. But without knowing why, we risk stumbling into common pitfalls like tokenism and affinity bias. For those who aren’t on the margins, it’s hard to truly understand what this means and what difference it makes. And for those who are, it can be hard to articulate. In this session, we will step into the shoes of those who have been rendered invisible to better understand why representation matters and how we can become more inclusive.
