When Kraft Foods’ Vice President of Diversity Jim Norman looks back at his career, “it appears like I had a grand plan—but I didn’t,” he says. Taking a job as a security guard at the company more than 28 years ago “as a source of tuition reimbursement,” Norman worked his way up to increasingly responsible roles, first in operations management and then in human resources. “I knew I was always going to work with people and enhancing performance,” says Norman, who earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology from Northwestern University.
Today, as an established global diversity leader, Norman enhances employee performance through cultural awareness. He oversees diversity training, advises the company’s 10 employee councils, connects with external partners and ensures accountability.

Listen to Cynthia

Dedicated to helping organizations resolve conflicts and achieve success, Cynthia puts her more than 30 years of organizational development and training experience to work each day for her clients as the president of TrustWorks Group.

Drawing from her group facilitation and organizational management background, Cynthia helped develop a training program called TrustWorks! to assist leaders and teams by teaching them proactive ways to manage conflict, improve communications skills—and ultimately build a culture of trust. This program has been successfully implemented in major corporations worldwide.
