Amplify Performance
Founded by Vivian Acquah, CDE®, Amplify DEI aims to support leaders with creating high-performance environments where inclusivity thrives.
Guided by a clear vision of inclusion and empowerment, Amplify DEI works to dismantle systemic barriers and create spaces for people to thrive.
Central to its ethos is the belief that inclusion isn’t just an initiative; it is a sustained, transformational process that cultivates trust, well-being, and sustainable growth.
Vivian’s professional trajectory is a testament to the principles that Amplify DEI embodies. Before becoming a Certified Inclusion Strategist, Vivian spent years in finance and IT consulting, honing her business acumen and analytical skills. However, witnessing the persistent inequities in corporate structures fueled her resolve to foster meaningful change.
Leaving her corporate career behind, she committed herself to becoming a champion for inclusion, equipping leaders and their teams with the tools and strategies needed to break down barriers and amplify performance.
With a name that literally translates as ‘water’, Vivian has become a fire extinguisher in the field of inclusive environments. She has provided clients such as Heineken, LinkedIn, Google, Indeed, Deloitte, Danone, Cargill, Swift, Acrolinx, KLM and Zalando with tangible strategies for embracing inclusive change.

Belonging is considered a crucial part of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives because it addresses the fundamental human need to feel accepted, valued, and connected within a group or organization.
While diversity ensures representation, equity provides fairness, and inclusion creates opportunities for participation.
Belonging is the emotional outcome where individuals feel genuinely welcomed and secure in being their authentic selves.

How does equity address systemic barriers that equality overlooks in DEI?

In what ways can DEI promote systemic change beyond organizational policies?
DEI promotes systemic change beyond organizational policies by transforming culture, centering marginalized voices, addressing structural barriers, driving community impact, using data for continuous improvement, rejecting performative actions, and aligning with human rights principles.
This holistic approach enables organizations to be catalysts for equity and inclusion not only within their walls but across society
