“I’ve known Christy as an HR and D&I guru for quite some time. After hearing her speak on the topic numerous times, it’s refreshing for her to employ a non-traditional approach and share her raw and unfiltered perspective on the complexities of diversity. At the end of the day, Christy helps us understand that diversity is difficult.”

-- Kendrick G. Robinson

“I must admit, as a DEI Executive, the title and premise of this book left me more than a little concerned but having read it cover to cover I must admit…I get it and I agree. Christy managed to take a very sensitive and complex issue and break it down where everyone can understand. I highly recommend sharing this with your entire team so you can have a full and complete diversity discussion.”

About the book

A bit of humor goes a long way in helping people buy into tough concepts and this book proves that! Would the world be better if we were all alike? Revealing the downsides of the diversity that most people try to ignore (yes, you read that title correctly... we're talking about the downsides of diversity) provides the reader with an honest, no holds barred discussion about diversity that most people try to avoid. If we’re honest, we all know that diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and social justice have become buzz words these days and like many industry buzz words, not everyone agrees on their meaning or value. This book offers a unique perspective that is sure to get everyone talking about what diversity truly adds (or takes away) from an organization. It is a great starting point to get your entire organization or team on the same page about all aspects of diversity.

About the Author

"I think of Christy as my on call expert problem untangler"

“Once again Christy sparked excitement and action in our organization – an hour-long keynote equaled months of our typical training”.

Those are just a few of many thoughts recent audiences shared after hearing Speaker, Author, and C-Suite Collaborator, Christy Pruitt-Haynes. Christy regularly combines her 25 years of executive level Human Resources, DEI, and Talent Development expertise with a healthy dose of insightful strategy and results focused resourcefulness to create organizational cultures that prioritize innovation, increase performance, elevate engagement and drive results all while empowering highly effective leaders.

Whether on a stage giving a TEDx talk or keynote to 1,000+ member audiences or sitting one on one with a CEO, Christy is able to add a fresh perspective to age old issues that lead to actionable “aha moments”. That’s exactly what she did in her book, Would the World Be Better If We Were All Alike, a refreshing and thought provoking take on DEI. As a regular contributor to Forbes, Business Insider, The Harvard Business Review, CNN, Fast Company and many other publications, Christy balances her love of solving problems with the remarkable ability to convey complex ideas in a relatable way that leads to phenomenal results!

When Christy isn’t navigating corporate board rooms, you’ll find her transforming forward. In one year, Christy lost her best friend to suicide, got divorced, and her daughter left for college leaving her an empty nester. Christy found herself lost and in need of reinvention and that is exactly what she is doing. She started by authoring the book, I Have to Pay for This, a parody book outlining the process of becoming an empty nester in a relatable, humorous, and emotional way. And continued the hard work, personal reflection, and self-discovery, embarking on her ABC solo dating and began the task of redefining who she is. She realized that “The only person I’m going to spend the rest of my life with is me, so I better get to know and fall in love with her”. This empty nesting, cigar smoking, bourbon drinking, world traveling, eternal optimist is committed to doing just that every day!
