ABOUT DR. EUNICE B. GWANMESIA

Dr. Eunice Gwanmesia is a Registered nurse turned Certified Executive Coach and a Diversity and Inclusion Strategist.  A passionate advocate of embracing diversity and cultural inclusion as a strength. She speaks with the authority of first-hand experience struggling with cultural changes and a life-changing event that sent her on a trajectory of finding her purpose in life and, ultimately, to her role as coach and keynote speaker. 

​

Fresh from the cornfields of Cameroon, Dr. Eunice remembers that at the age of 21, she dropped out of the French-speaking University of Yaoundé and never graduated because she couldn’t adapt to learning a different language. This experience was her turning moment. 

​

As an immigrant, and a nurse who has navigated cultural changes and challenges, she knows all too well the disadvantages of what not embracing cultural differences looks like. But the one thing she does know from lived experience in her life of:

 

• Failing out of college at age 21 

• Becoming culturally mindful and socially proficient (Cultural Responsiveness) at age 21

• Given a second chance in life

• Moving to Canada to study dental therapy 

• Mastered dental therapy but failed at building her cultural responsiveness 

• Left Canada disheartened and lonely for the Washington DC area thinking she’d love it there, she’d meet people “like” her

•  Yet, it was there she discovered “She wasn’t looking for people like her. She was looking for a place she could call home.” A place where she could embrace the people, culture, and values regardless of any differences. Delaware became home. 

• Arriving Delaware her transformation that being culturally aware and sensitive was tested.

• Advised not to apply for a job at a local hospital. she was told, “I wouldn’t bother applying there, they are racist and won’t offer you a position. Plus, you’re a woman and an immigrant with a heavy accent.”

Is that embracing cultural differences allows many opportunities for personal, professional, and business growth.

The power of these experiences is what drives her passion:  engaging audiences in the workplace and around the world in conversations about diversity, cultural differences and how to use them to improve organizational performances. It is clear: when we maximize diverse human capital by becoming culturally aware and accept our differences, we gain an industry advantage and shape global change.
