NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Aaisha Hamid

After years of trying to fit into spaces where I didn't quite belong and eventually burning out in the process, I realized that belonging is something we have to build, measure, and cultivate intentionally.

As First Vice President of Belonging & Engagement at Alliant Insurance Services, I use storytelling, research, and lived experience to help organizations create cultures where people feel recognized, supported, and connected.

Through my keynotes and workshops, I speak on belonging science, inclusive leadership, career growth, and innovation, helping audiences turn awareness into meaningful action that transforms culture.

READ MY STORY

“I’ve been to many training sessions, and yours was excellent — among, if not the best! I was an executive sponsor for Unum’s inaugural Women in Leadership ERG, and your session stood out for its relevance and impact.”

- General Counsel, Cocoon (formerly VP, Chief Regulatory Counsel at Unum)

“I’d put Aaisha in front of any prospect or client. She provided a separate deck based on [the client’s] belonging initiatives, benchmarked them, and offered ideas for improvement. The prospect was thoroughly impressed, and it clearly differentiated us from our competitors. Aaisha’s efforts will be a significant reason we win.”

- VP, Producer, Alliant Americas

“Aaisha is a natural speaker with the ability to touch the heart. She has put structure and organization around the ideas of [belonging] and made them [actionable] with metrics, without getting wrapped around just numbers. Thank you for the insightful and thought-provoking talk with our team... and for the generosity of sharing your time, learning, and experiences.”

- Sr. Director, Global Human Resources, Penguin Solutions
