Actions Speak Louder

ABOUT ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER

“A timely, practical resource on creating teams and organizations where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.”
–Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the podcast WorkLife
 

Every leader wants to build a workplace where people feel seen, valued, and able to do their best work. The harder question is how. Actions Speak Louder is the blueprint for leaders and organizations ready to move beyond good intentions and do the real work of building cultures where everyone genuinely thrives.

Renowned leadership consultant and author Deanna Singh has spent her career helping organizations — from nonprofits to Fortune 500 companies — close the gap between the values they espouse and the experiences their people actually have. Drawing on her signature "use your privilege, check yourself, and build a bridge" methodology, Singh offers concrete exercises, practical strategies, and step-by-step guidance for:

Earning authentic buy-in from stakeholders at every level of your organization Designing and implementing inclusive policies — from how you write job postings to how you conduct performance reviews Equipping your internal culture champions with the clarity, tools, and decision-making authority they need to hold the organization accountable Auditing your workplace culture honestly and building a roadmap for meaningful, lasting change

Actions Speak Louder is designed for teams to read and work through together — creating the shared language, shared commitments, and shared behaviors that transform culture from the inside out. As Singh has witnessed again and again, any organization willing to do the work can change in ways that are real, lasting, and felt by everyone.
