Transforming Organizations Through the Power of Lived Experience

“Adoption Literacy is a community song” -Cam | TEDx Minneapolis

As a Korean American adoptee and licensed clinical counselor, I help all types of organizations – from Fortune 500 companies to school districts, healthcare systems to faith communities – build truly inclusive environments where diverse stories don’t just exist, but actually drive innovation and growth.

The universal challenge? Every organization leads and cares for team members with dynamic backgrounds – trauma survivors, immigrants, adoptees, individuals who navigate complex and non-traditional family systems. Yet most workplaces unknowingly silence these experiences, missing out on incredible insights and perspectives.

The solution? Adoption Literacy – a simple yet powerful and flexible framework that transforms how organizations support people with diverse life experiences, creating psychological safety that amplifies potential and elevates performance.

Speaking To Cultivate Real Change

Whether you’re planning a child welfare training, corporate leadership retreat, educational conference, healthcare summit, or community event, my presentations help any audience understand how embracing diverse narratives strengthens families, organizations, and communities.

Why Cam’s unique adoption expertise translates everywhere:

Resilience & adaptability lessons applicable to any workforce
Identity & belonging insights crucial for inclusive cultures
Trauma-informed leadership that improves team dynamics and talent retention
Authentic storytelling to inspire connection and engagement

✓ Diverse lived experience that resonates universally
✓ Clinical expertise in human behavior and organizational dynamics
✓ Research-backed insights that drive measurable outcomes
✓ Engaging storytelling that moves any audience to action
