PATHS TO CHANGE
“Everyone needs to be at the table. That includes senior-level management, junior-level employees, men, women, people of colour. Everyone’s got to bring something unique and rich to the conversation. People have to feel part of something versus apart from it.”

Stephen Dorsey
Hands-on experience leading strategic planning, change management, cultural change transformations, and the formulation of diversity, inclusion, and corporate social responsibility initiatives.
An engaged community leader, Stephen experienced a profound awakening in 2020 sparked by the murder of George Floyd and the global reckoning on race that it triggered. This led him to begin extensive research on the historical truths around racial discrimination and the continuing realities of systemic racism in North America which led to the publishing of his critically acclaimed book in 2022, Black and White, An Intimate Multicultural Perspective on White Advantage and the Paths to Change.
Through his DEI practice, Stephen has found it important to share his challenging lived experience with racism (much candidly detailed in his book) with the objective of bridging the divides of understanding among diverse people. At a time when authenticity is valued more than ever, Stephen has experienced firsthand how the candid stories of his lived experiences have moved and inspired many. His authenticity, combined with his expertise as a senior-level communicator and a passion for engaging with people and shaping culture, brings a fresh and unique perspective to client engagements.
Stephen is a natural leader, a connector of people, a bridge builder, a motivator, a mentor, and a culture agent with a demonstrated record of success as a professional collaborator who can deliver tangible outcomes that align to desired objectives.
