about denise
It was not until I conducted hundreds of interviews throughout the country and produced the award-winning film, being eñye that I was able to understand the full picture and learned how to create belonging, or what I call, “Magical Belonging.”
Today, I work with organizations that want to reach a diverse customer base and build more diverse, equitable, and inclusive cultures.
CHANGE MODEL
With this awareness in place, they can create interdependent teams who value independent contribution to the collective success of the entire group.
This is best expressed as:
Self Awareness + Interdependence + Commitment = Belonging
...we help leaders gain greater awareness of the cultural differences between collective and self-reliant work environments.

For a live in-person and high-energy conference, I needed a speaker to not only match this energy but bring the relevant content to the table and Denise Soler Cox did just that and more! She was highly recommended to me and what I experienced first-hand, I see why! She met the goal and then some!
The smiles, nods and tears of audience members during Denise's speaking engagement was an early indication of what the final outcome would be and that was complete satisfaction! Many of the audience members not only felt motivated by Denise but their hearts and minds were fully engaged. - ANNA GARCIA

let's work together
I'm collective dominant, so I love hearing about your kids, your family, what you care about first before we talk business. It doesn't mean collective-dominant peeps don't know how to get down-to-business, it means we build trust through relationship.
