Join us for a highly collaborative session where we will hear from inclusive leadership speakers Julie Kratz and Ericka Young. Both are board members of Little Allies, a brand that shares our values of bravery, determination, boldness, persistence, optimism, relatability, passion, and authenticity. This session aims to provide you with stories, ideas, and research that will support inclusive conversations with young people. It is essential to have these conversations about diversity, inclusion, and allyship earlier with the children in our lives. Little Allies is an excellent resource for parents and leaders everywhere who want to guide little ones along this journey toward allyship.

Julie Kratz is a highly-acclaimed TEDx speaker and inclusive leadership trainer who led teams and produced results in corporate America. After experiencing many career “pivot points” of her own, she started her own speaking business with the goal of helping leaders be more inclusive.

She holds an MBA from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, is a Certified Master Coach, and is a certified unconscious bias trainer.
Ericka Young, Founder, Tailor-Made Budgets
Ericka Young is a financial coach, author, and educator. Not only did she and her husband Chris climb out of $90,000 in debt themselves, but she founded Tailor-Made Budgets and has been coaching families to their own debt-freedom for over 18 years. Her real and personal style have led her clients to pay off millions in debt.
Her book, Naked and Unashamed: 10 Money Conversations Every Couple Must Have released in 2017 and continues to teach couples how to get honest about where they are financially and real about how to tackle it as a team. In January 2023, Ericka and Chris launched their podcast For Better and Worth where they don’t believe you have to sacrifice your relationship while you grow your net worth.
Ericka teaches that our money past doesn’t need to hold us back, we must face our present state, and our money future is full of potential. Today she delivers this message through workplace financial wellness programs for employees. In addition, she trains other financial coaches in these concepts to help their own clients achieve results quickly and sustainably.
Ericka is a recent empty nester (her 2 daughters think she’s enjoying this too much!) who spends her time traveling the world with her husband of 25 years, bingeing Audible books, and dancing on any stage she can find.
