INVERSITY™ takes the "division" out of diversity programming

What INVERSITY™ takes the "division" out of diversity programming does

INVERSITY™ Solutions, LLC is a privately held, Texas-based DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging) consulting firm founded in 2010 by CEO Karith Foster. The company delivers corporate keynotes (60–90 minutes), interactive workshops (2 hours to 2 days), facilitated conversations, themed leadership roundtables, a 7-module online learning curriculum hosted on training.inversitysolutions.com, and on-demand webinars, all anchored in a trademarked INVERSITY™ methodology. The methodology is structured around a 7-pillar framework (Actualization, Awareness, Reception, Courage, Grace, Energy, Conscious Communication) and the C.A.R.E. acronym (Conscious Actionable Radical Excellence), supported by references to 129 studies, positive psychology, neuroscience findings on dopamine and memory, and humor-based facilitation. Its stated differentiation from traditional DEI vendors is an 'inside-out' rather than 'outside-in' (fear/shame-based) approach.

The business operates a direct enterprise sales motion mediated by a 'Request a Proposal' intake form that captures budget and service interest, with engagement-based pricing and multi-year contract indications; no public price tiers are disclosed. Distribution is direct-to-client across in-person and virtual delivery, supplemented by a self-serve subscription learning platform and an on-demand webinar funnel. Named customers span Fortune 500 enterprises (Estée Lauder, Berkshire Hathaway companies, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Lennox), law firms (Fenwick & West), associations (SHRM, US Chamber of Commerce), governments (City of Apple Valley, Domestic Security Alliance Council) and academic institutions (Stanford GSB — 7-year repeat engagement; Harvard, MIT, Brown, Emerson, Oberlin, Kent State, WVU), with marketing reach via INVERSITY Magazine, a multi-platform social presence, and recurring podcast appearances.

INVERSITY has no disclosed institutional funding, no headcount disclosure, and no parent company; it is a founder-controlled LLC anchored almost entirely on Karith Foster's personal brand, with a sister non-profit (F.R.A.M.E.) extending the methodology into mission-aligned work.

Direct peers

• The Winters Group: DEI and leadership development consultancy providing keynote speaking, workshops, and advisory to corporate clients. Directly comparable in size, methodology-based positioning, and enterprise target market.
• Cook Ross: Long-established DEI consulting firm offering inclusion training, leadership development, and culture transformation to Fortune 500 clients. Competes with INVERSITY for the same corporate DEIB training and culture-change budgets.
• LifeLabs Learning: Management training and leadership development provider delivering live workshops and facilitator-led courses on soft skills, inclusion, and team effectiveness to enterprise L&D departments. Overlaps INVERSITY on workshop format and target buyer (HR/L&D).
• Brené Brown / Dare to Lead: Researcher, author, and corporate speaker whose work on courage, vulnerability, and inclusive leadership directly overlaps INVERSITY's enterprise DEIB keynote/training business. Brené Brown and Karith Foster shared the stage at SHRM 2019, and Dare to Lead sells a comparable suite of corporate workshops, assessments, and facilitator certification programs to similar enterprise HR/L&D buyers.
• Crucial Learning (VitalSmarts): Corporate training company selling research-backed courses on communication, influence, and culture. Competes with INVERSITY's online curriculum and workshop business for the same enterprise training budget.

Broad incumbents

• Deloitte DEI / Paradigm: Big-Four advisory practice offering enterprise-wide DEIB strategy, training, and culture transformation. Competes for large enterprise DEI programs but typically at a different price point and engagement scale than INVERSITY's keynote/workshop model.
• BetterUp: Enterprise coaching and leadership development platform with inclusion coaching as a vertical. Competes for HR budget on leadership and DEIB outcomes, but at far larger scale and as a SaaS/coaching model rather than keynote/workshop format.
• FranklinCovey: Large incumbent leadership and organizational performance company with a broad portfolio (7 Habits, Leading at the Speed of Trust, inclusion content). Competitor in the enterprise training wallet but with a much broader and broader catalogue than INVERSITY's niche methodology.
• Adam Grant / WorkLife with Adam Grant: Organizational psychologist, bestselling author, and high-profile corporate keynote speaker on workplace culture, generosity, and inclusion. Competes at the same celebrity-speaker tier as INVERSITY's founder for enterprise keynotes and L&D content deals.

Others

• SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management): Largest HR professional association and a buyer/curator of DEIB speakers like Karith Foster at its annual conference. Not a direct competitor, but a channel partner that controls demand and audience access for INVERSITY's enterprise pipeline.
