Imagine This…
SPEAKER'S REEL
SPEAKERS REEL
A workplace where people aren't just present, but passionate. Where tasks become purpose. Where collaboration transforms into true belonging.
This isn't wishful thinking—it's the impact of a high-quality culture.
So, How do you go beyond feel -good buzzwords and realistically design a workplace where everyone thrives?
This is where Denise comes in…
Hi! I’m Denise and I'm so happy you're here.
Ni de aquí. Ni de allá is Spanish for….
Helping you to create belonging in your life and work is not only my joy, it’s my life’s work.
Not from here. Not from there.
This was my experience growing up as a first-gen Latina in the suburbs of New York CIty.
I never felt Puerto Rican enough and I never felt American enough. In short, I never felt like I belonged.
This is why I made my award-winning documentary being eñye. I wanted people like me to know..."You are not alone."
WATCH my FILM
The BIG surprise for me was my movie about Latino culture connected with people from EVERY walk of life.
The reason why is simple...
The movie like my keynote is about one emotionally compelling human need...
Belonging.
The universal human truth here is that everyone, has or has had their own version of
“Ni de aquí Ni de allá.”
Their own version of not feeling like they belong.
Today, I work with organizations throughout the country, from manufacturing companies with global products, to agencies whose clients want to reach the Latino market, all the way to Fortune 500 companies who want to transform how we think and speak about cultural identity and what it means to belong.
Through keynotes and strategic consulting, we partner together to build organizations where employees and customers alike feel welcome, valued, and an intrinsic part of the whole.
TAKE A LOOK BACK
Being someone who books speakers for a living, it was fun to be in the audience and know this is someone I'll want to book again.

I now believe that belonging means that I am the puzzle piece, and I'll fit where I fit.

This was my second time hearing Denise speak and each time her message of belonging and how to create it is fresh, her delivery is authentic and her impact lasts long after she gets off stage.

Building the Bridge:
The Transformative Power of Belonging
In today's rapidly evolving workplace, organizations are recognizing the critical need for genuine connection and inclusion. When surveyed, companies acknowledge that a lack of belonging threatens employee engagement, retention, and overall performance.
Leaders at all levels are seeking ways to foster a culture where every individual can bring their full self to work. Is there a secret to creating this environment? A proven approach to humanize and connect? Yes. The answer lies in harnessing the power of belonging.
Denise Soler Cox, an award-winning filmmaker, belonging expert, and soon-to-be published author with Simon & Schuster, has presented this transformative keynote for audiences across industries, equipping them with essential tools for success in creating High Quality Cultures.
Denise's approach to belonging is practical, impactful, and immediately actionable. Drawing from her rich background in media and filmmaking, she illustrates how everyday interactions can revolutionize workplace culture.
The heart of this keynote introduces a groundbreaking idea: understanding and bridging competing value systems, collective vs. individualist mindsets, that often impede belonging.
Denise shares her compelling concept of "The Bridge," offering an intentional, actionable alternative to judgment.
Attendees leave empowered to create "Belonging Moments," navigate diverse cultural landscapes.

I know Denise says she accidentally fell into being a “Belonging Expert”; however, I think this is her calling. Nobody does this better than Denise. Thank you, Denise, for the important work that you do, for continuing to share your story, and for inspiring many along the way.
