“be on offense”
Proactive listening is the competitive advantage
Dustin Giannelli
corporate culture keynote speaker,
Diagnosed with profound hearing loss at age five, Dustin learned early how much communication systems shape performance, belonging and trust. Rather than letting his lifelong challenge limit him, he used it to build a deep understanding of how people adapt, where systems break down, and why listening can’t be an afterthought.
Today, Dustin is a nationally known keynote speaker who helps organizations improve performance and culture through authentic storytelling, lived experience and a fresh perspective on accessibility, inclusion and leadership. His work challenges teams to stop reacting to breakdowns and start designing environments where clarity, connection and proactive communication drive business results.
Introduce Dustin to your stage by saying:
“HearsssDustin!!!”
