Kori S. Carew, Esq. is a seasoned attorney, TEDx and keynote speaker, executive coach, and community builder with 25 years of experience working in and with law firms, including 22 years as a litigator, law firm partner, member of senior management, and C-Suite executive. For more than three decades, she has designed, delivered, and facilitated over 450 trainings, keynotes, and workshops on leadership, organizational culture, authenticity, courage, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), helping organizations and individuals expand perspective, disrupt the status quo, and drive meaningful change.
Known for her incisive voice, unapologetic questioning, and relentless curiosity about human potential, Kori equips leaders to be courageous, culturally fluent, and inclusive, and empowers women and historically marginalized professionals to claim their power, voice, and belonging.
Her multi-national, multi-religious, multi-ethnic, and multi-lingual family background gives her a deep understanding of inclusion, identity, and the human need to belong, which she brings to every aspect of her work.
Kori is a people inclusion strategist, advocate, writer, speaker, coach, and truthteller who combines grace with truth in guiding organizations to bridge differences, strengthen culture, and cultivate leadership excellence. She is also a wife and mother of two curly-haired, spirited daughters who fuel her fierce love of community, belonging, and human potential.
In addition to her organizational work, Kori actively serves as a civic leader and continues to inspire audiences worldwide through her TEDx talk, Just Belonging: Finding the Courage to Interrupt Bias. She successfully completed Brené Brown’s Dare to Lead Certification Training, is a certified Gallup CliftonStrengths® Coach, and an Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) Qualified Administrator.
When she’s not equipping leaders to disrupt bias, build inclusive cultures, or unleash their full potential, Kori loves to sing, cook, entertain, dance in hallways, and read—always embracing life with the same energy and curiosity she brings to her work.
